  • Publication number: 20190180909
    Abstract: A coil component including an element assembly and a coil conductor embedded in the element assembly. The element assembly includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer that constitute a first principal surface and a second principal surface, respectively, where the first principal surface and the second principal surface are opposite to each other in the element assembly. The first magnetic layer has a higher relative magnetic permeability than the second magnetic layer. At least part of a winding portion of the coil conductor is located in the first magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer contains metal magnetic particles and a resin, and the second magnetic layer contains metal magnetic particles, a resin, and zinc oxide particles. The metal magnetic particles and the zinc oxide particles are dispersed in the resin.

  • Patent number: 6241066
    Abstract: During a shifting operation to slide a shift gear of an auxiliary change speed device, clutches of a backward and forward drive switching device acting also as a propelling clutch and of a main change speed device are automatically disengaged to place these devices in neutral state. After the shift gear is switched to a high-speed position or low-speed position, the clutches of the main change speed device are automatically engaged to return the main change speed device to a transmitting state. After the main change speed device returns to the transmitting state, the clutches of the backward and forward drive switching device are automatically engaged to return the backward and forward drive switching device to a transmitting state.

  • Patent number: 5289680
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a working vehicle comprising a first pump, a second pump, a first actuator, a second actuator, and a selector valve having a plurality of control positions. The selector valve is switchable between a first position for connecting the first pump to the first actuator and the second pump to the second actuator, and a second position for connecting the first pump and the second pump to the second actuator. This circuit includes a first relief valve disposed between the selector valve and the first pump, and a second relief valve disposed between the selector valve and the second pump. The first relief valve is set to a higher relief pressure than the second relief valve.
