Patent number: 7128654Abstract: The contact angle of the ball 15 with each first guide track 21 of an inner joint member 12 is made to become smaller gradually from an opening portion side toward a bottom portion side, and the curvature radius for the first guide track 21 is made to become larger gradually from the opening portion side toward the bottom portion side. If the contact angle only were made to become smaller gradually from the opening portion side toward the bottom portion side, the contact angle would become too small thereby to cause chattering in rotation to be generated. If the curvature radius only were made to become larger gradually from the opening portion side toward the bottom portion side, a contact ellipse M2 defined by the ball 15 and the first guide track 21 would become tool small, which would cause the ball 15 to make dents on the surface of the first guide track 21.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2003Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Toyoda Koki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomonori Ohwaki, Tomoo Suzuki, Kazuyuki Ichikawa

Patent number: 5555950Abstract: A body structure for an electric vehicle, which has a battery carrier for containing a battery disposed on a vehicle body thereof, the body structure comprising: a supporting mechanism, which supports the battery carrier; a movement-restricting member, which restricts movement of the battery carrier; and, an energy transfer-control member, which controls transfer of kinetic energy from the battery carrier to the vehicle body upon movement of the battery carrier due to a collision of the vehicle, the collision releasing restriction of movement of the battery carrier applied by the movement-restricting member. While the battery disposed in the vehicle involves a corresponding increase in kinetic energy which acts on the vehicle body, the present body structure minimizes the transfer of such increased kinetic energy to the vehicle body upon collision of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1995Date of Patent: September 17, 1996Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Kanto Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Junichi Harada, Takuji Tsuchida, Keiji Kunikita, Katsuhisa Hasegawa, Tadahiko Fuse, Tomoo Suzuki
