Abstract

A first mechanical unit and a second mechanical unit, each of which has bodies of rotation arranged so as to be rotatable independently from one another, are assembled together with engagement between their bodies of rotation. After first concentric engaging members of a first engaging mechanism, rotatable independently from one another, are engaged with the bodies of rotation of the first mechanical unit, respectively, second concentric engaging members of a second engaging mechanism, rotatable independently from one another, are integrated with the first concentric engaging members together in rotational angular phase. Then, the second concentric engaging members are engaged with the second bodies of rotation of the first mechanical unit, respectively, so as to adjust the bodies of rotation of the first and second mechanical units in rotational angular phase.
