Abstract: A motorcycle includes an engine, a radiator that cools a cooling liquid, a first piping that connects the engine to the radiator, and a second piping that connects the engine to the radiator. The second piping, engine, radiator and first piping form a circulating circuit through which cooling liquid circulates.

Abstract: A power transmission device includes a first one-way clutch that transmits a rotational power of a pulley to a rotating shaft, and a second one-way clutch that transmits a rotational power of a rotor of a motor to the rotating shaft. The first one-way clutch is of inner cam type in which an engagement cam-surface is formed in an outer periphery of a first inner ring, while the second one-way clutch is of outer cam type in which an engagement cam-surface is formed in an inner periphery of a second outer ring. This arrangement improves engagement performance of the first one-way clutch as well as reducing heat generation of the second one-way clutch, so that the lifetime of grease is prolonged.

Abstract: A pulley is concentrically disposed around a hollow shaft, and a one-way clutch is disposed between the hollow shaft and the pulley. At least one bearing is provided between the shaft and the pulley. In the one-way clutch, a roller as a meshing member and a coil spring as a biasing member are integrally rotated together with an outer ring. The roller moves in a meshing-releasing direction by a centrifugal force when a rotation speed of the outer ring becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, and a biasing force of the coil spring has enough magnitude for permitting this movement. The pulley is provided at its inner periphery with a cam surface, and the pulley and the outer ring of the one-way clutch are integrally formed.

Abstract: A pulley unit includes a pulley and a rotor concentrically disposed for relative rotation, a one-way clutch interposed in an annular space therebetween, rolling bearings provided on opposite sides of the one-way clutch, and a seal ring for sealing the annular space. An inner diametrical surface of the pulley forms an outer ring raceway of the one-way clutch and the rolling bearing, and an outer diametrical surface of the shaft body forms an inner ring raceway of the one-way clutch and the rolling bearing. An outer diameter side of an annular portion of a retainer of the rolling bearing on the side of the seal ring is reduced so as to increase a storage volume of lubricating oil between the rolling bearing and the seal ring.

An end portion on a side of a deep groove ball bearing portion 65 of a second one-way clutch 2 is disposed in an annular recess 67, which is provided at an end portion in an inner peripheral surface of a first inner ring 7, so that the dimension in an axial direction of a one-way clutch unit is reduced. Further, an outer peripheral diameter on a side of the deep groove ball bearing portion 65 is made smaller than that on the side of a one-way clutch portion 60 of a second outer ring 14 so as to reduce a diameter of the recess 67 and the outer peripheral diameter of the first outer ring 5 of the first one-way clutch 1.

Abstract: A pulley unit improved in axial positioning of a cage of a one-way clutch is provided. An outer radius of an orbital portion of inner rings of two rolling bearings disposed at both axial sides of the cage are designed to be larger than an inner radius of the cage, so that axial movement of the cage is constrained. Due to this structure, projecting and recessing portions disposed on the cage of the one-way clutch and on an inner ring become unnecessary and can be eliminated.
