  • Patent number: 11946513
    Abstract: A clutch device includes a clutch center, and a pressure plate movable toward or away from the clutch center, rotatable relative to the clutch center, and operable to press input-side rotating plates and output-side rotating plates. The clutch center includes center-side fitting teeth holding the input-side rotating plates and the output-side rotating plates, projecting radially outward from an outer peripheral surface of an outer peripheral wall, and arranged in circumferential directions, and an oil channel in an end portion of at least one of the center-side fitting teeth in a second direction. The oil channel allows clutch oil flowing at least at an inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall to be discharged to outside of the clutch center.

  • Patent number: 11940013
    Abstract: A clutch device includes a clutch center, and a pressure plate movable toward or away from the clutch center, rotatable relative to the clutch center, and operable to press input-side rotating plates and output-side rotating plates. The pressure plate holds the output-side rotating plates and includes pressure-side fitting teeth projecting radially outward from an outer peripheral surface of an outer peripheral wall and arranged in circumferential directions, and an oil channel in an end portion of at least one of the pressure-side fitting teeth in a first direction. The oil channel allows clutch oil flowing at least at an inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall to be discharged to the outside of the pressure plate.

  • Patent number: 11933369
    Abstract: A clutch device includes a pressure plate movable toward or away from a clutch center and rotatable with respect to the clutch center. The pressure plate includes a flange extending radially outward from an outer circumferential edge of a body, pressure-side fitting teeth projecting in a first direction from a front surface of the flange, holding input-side rotating plates and output-side rotating plates, and circumferentially arranged, and a flange-side recessed portion recessed in the first direction from a back surface of the flange. As seen in an axial direction of an output shaft, the flange-side recessed portion at least partially overlaps one of the pressure-side fitting teeth.

  • Patent number: 6005348
    Abstract: A twilight delay apparatus includes an automatic switching unit for switching a daytime running light control unit to an actuated state for a predetermined time, the daytime running light control unit being used to light the right and left head lamps by switching them to a series connection even in the daytime in response to a lit state maintaining output of a twilight delay unit instead of the operation of the start of an engine.

  • Patent number: 4599292
    Abstract: Method for forming a toner image on a photosensitive material bearing an electrostatic latent image comprising(a) introducing a one component developer consisting of fine toner particles, said toner particles comprising ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a resin such that at least a portion of said ferromagnetic powder is not totally encased by said resin, said toner particles being capable of accepting a triboelectric charge and having a specific resistivity of 10.sup.14 ohm.

  • Patent number: 4540646
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for developing electrostatic latent images comprising a developer which in turn is composed of a toner made up of resin and particles of magnetic materials having negative triboelectricity with respect to the resin dispersed in said resin. The developer is fed to a surface having magnets associated therewith for causing the developer to rise from the magnets in ear-like fashion to brush and deposit the developer on the latent image carrying surface.
