Patent number: 10895322Abstract: A parking device includes a parking gear, a parking pawl, and a torsion spring. The parking gear is directly coupled to an axle. The parking pawl is pivotably supported by a fulcrum pin and provided with a claw configured to be able to mesh with a tooth space of the parking gear. The torsion spring is fitted on the fulcrum pin, with a first end of the torsion spring mounted on the parking pawl and a second end of the torsion spring mounted on a holding member that holds the fulcrum pin.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hiroaki Kimura, Kensuke Akimoto, Ryoki Il, Kenji Asai

Patent number: 9233683Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus configured to selectively establish one of a first drive state in which a vehicle drive force is generated primarily by a second motor/generator operated with an electric energy supplied from an electric-energy storage device while an engine is placed in a rest state, and a second drive state in which a first motor/generator is operated with a drive force of the engine, to generate an electric energy and in which the vehicle drive force is generated primarily by the second motor/generator operated with at least the electric energy generated by the first motor/generator. The vehicle control apparatus is further configured such that the vehicle drive force generated in the second drive state at a given value of an accelerator pedal operation amount ?acc is larger than that generated in the first drive state.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ryoki Il, Akihiro Sato, Norihiro Yamamura, Akiko Nishimine, Tomoyuki Maruyama, Takeshi Miyagawa, Tomoaki Furukawa, Takeshi Kanayama, Tetsuo Hori, Koji Hayashi
