Patent number: 5168610Abstract: The present invention provides a complex machine tool wherein the punching center is coincides with the cutting work position so that the range of movement of a workpiece is not subjected to any restriction even during the workpiece cutting work in the same manner as in the workpiece punching work. The composite machine tool comprises a plasma torch (16) mounted on the machine tool body near the working position and arranged to be movable freely such that it can be withdrawn from the working position when a workpiece (5) is subjected to die-punching work, and proceeded to the working position when the workpiece is subjected to cutting work. Futher, the machine tool comprises protecting means (18, 19) for protecting the lower turret (3) and other members mounted adjacent thereto from the dross and heat developed by plasma arc during the workpiece cutting work by the plasma torch.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 1992Date of Patent: December 8, 1992Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Komatsu SeisakushoInventors: Masaaki Ichimura, Hiroaki Tamaki, Hitoshi Sawamura

Patent number: 4649768Abstract: A controller device for a wheeled construction machine has a variable speed lever for electrically controlling steps of speed of a transmission disposed near a steering wheel. It comprises a combination switch box disposed at the top of a steering column, a variable speed lever of a length enough for the leading end thereof to protrude slightly from the periphery of the steering wheel disposed on the left side of the combination switch box in such a manner as to approximate the steering wheel, and a control lever for turning on and off various lamps disposed protrudingly on the right side of the combination switch box. At least either of the variable speed lever and the control lever is attached to the combination switch box.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 1985Date of Patent: March 17, 1987Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Komatsu SeisakushoInventors: Kohei Kusaka, Masaaki Ichimura, Yuuichi Anami

Patent number: 4348864Abstract: A tank assembly for a hydraulic system including a hydraulic load device and a transmission. The tank assembly comprises a tank, a weir mounted on the bottom wall of the tank, which weir functions as a partition wall for dividing the inside of the tank into a first and a second reservoirs and allows fluid to overflow from the first reservoir to the second reservoir, the first reservoir being adapted to receive fluid from both the hydraulic load device and the transmission, a dust collector mat disposed on the bottom wall of the tank for collecting dust from drained fluid, and a strainer mounted inboard on one of the side walls of the tank and extending within the second reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 1980Date of Patent: September 14, 1982Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Komatsu SeisakushoInventors: Masaaki Ichimura, Yasumasa Tarumizu, Kiyouzi Uranaka

Patent number: 4321793Abstract: A pair of pumps deliver pressurized fluid to a steering control valve assembly controlling the operation of a steering cylinder. The steering control valve assembly diverts any excess of the incoming pressurized fluid to a hoist control valve assembly controlling the operation of a pair of implement hoist cylinders. The hoist control valve assembly also diverts any excess of the incoming fluid away from the hoist cylinder pair, this time to a retarder or brake system for cooling same. The retarder receives additional cooling fluid from a hydraulic torque converter, to which the fluid has been forced from another pump. On leaving the retarder the pressurized fluid is cooled and then delivered to a transmission lubricating circuit.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1979Date of Patent: March 30, 1982Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Komatsu SeisakushoInventors: Kyoji Uranaka, Yasumasa Tarumizu, Hideo Hara, Masaaki Ichimura

Patent number: 4222031Abstract: A warning device for a vehicle is capable of checking a disorder in the vehicle in a sequential order through a dialog between the device and an operator. The device first indicates conduction of a test before a starter is turned on and the operator depresses a test switch in compliance with this indication to test whether all indication units and buzzer can operate normally. After finishing this test, any disorder which may exist at various starting check points such as a hydraulic fluid level and a radiator water level is detected by an associated indication unit. After the starting check up has been completed and the starter is turned on, driving check points such as a torque converter oil temperature and a brake air pressure are constantly watched and if there occurs any disorder in such check points, the operator is informed of such disorder by operation of all of the indication units and the buzzer.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1978Date of Patent: September 9, 1980Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Komatsu SeisakushoInventors: Michio Okamoto, Tohru Fukumura, Minoru Ichikawa, Masaru Uenoyama, Masaaki Ichimura, Masakazu Tateishi

Patent number: 4034566Abstract: A hydraulic boosting apparatus in a braking system, which apparatus has an accumulator which provides an oil pressure accumulated in a high pressure circuit, the oil pressure being supplementarily used in addition to an oil pressure from the usual hydraulic circuit for a braking operation. A booster cylinder has a booster piston, a free spool and an operating spool which are arranged coaxially with each other. There is provided a pressure chamber between the booster piston and the free spool, which chamber communicates with a first working chamber defined in and serving to close an on-off valve which is, in turn, in communication with the accumulator. There is also provided a closed chamber between the free spool and the operating spool, which chamber communicates with a second working chamber defined in and serving to open the on-off valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1975Date of Patent: July 12, 1977Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Komatsu SeisakushoInventors: Toshitaka Suketomo, Masaaki Ichimura
