  • Patent number: 8821332
    Abstract: In a power transmission device, a breather chamber having an opening on its one end side and extending coaxially with the countershaft is formed in a countershaft that transmits power from an output shaft of an automatic transmission to a differential mechanism. An inner end of a vent pipe placed so as to extend through a transmission case and that includes the inner end and an outer end each having an opening is inserted in the opening of the breather chamber. A plug, which closes a gap between an inner peripheral surface of the breather chamber and an outer peripheral surface of the inner end of the vent pipe so as to allow air to flow between the inside of the transmission case and the breather chamber and so as to restrict entrance of hydraulic oil into the breather chamber, is placed in the opening of the breather chamber.

  • Patent number: 6224406
    Abstract: A rotating connector including a movable body having a lower holder with an outer extension portion which faces a widthwise direction end of a flexible cable. The flexible cable has a connecting end portion which extends beyond the outer extension portion and which is connected to a stationary side connecting portion of a first housing. For example, a cutout is formed in the flexible cable to prevent an edge of the connecting end portion of the flexible cable and the outer extension portion from contacting each other at a location where they cross each other. Using a simple structure, the rotating connector which makes it possible to reduce the level of sliding noise produced when sliding occurs between the flexible cable and the outer extension portion of the lower holder of the movable body.

  • Patent number: 6213798
    Abstract: A first groove and a second groove are formed deep in the top surface of a stationary housing; the second groove being extended by a given angle circumferentially from both ends of the first groove. A lock screw is threadedly installed to a screw receiving portion of the movable housing, and the movable housing is rotatably connected to the center of the stationary housing. In the housing space defined between the two housings, a flexible cable is wound and housed. The movable housing is positioned in the neutral position of rotation with respect to the stationary housing. This state is kept by engaging the tip of the lock screw with the first groove. To perform rotation tests of the movable housing, the lock screw is turned back up to the position in which the lock screw contacts both ends of the second groove, and the movable housing can be turned within a range of less than ±180 degrees from the neutral position of rotation.
