The present paper is an attempt to find the unifying principle of results obtained by different authors and dealing—in the original papers—with areabisectors, chords, or diameters of planar convex sets, with outwardly simple planar line families, and with chords determined by a fixed-point free involution on a circle. The proofs in the general setting seem to be simpler and are certainly more perspicuous than many of the original ones. The tools required do not transcend simple continuity arguments and the Jordan curve theorem. The author is indebted to the referee for several helpful remarks.
