Patent number: 10047804Abstract: A damper is in the form of a disk and used for the clutch including: a clutch housing in which a clutch plate is held; and a clutch gear that transmits rotary drive power to the clutch housing via the damper. A non-circular engagement hole is formed at a center portion of a disk of the damper such that an engagement projection of the clutch housing engages with the engagement hole. First cutout portions are formed in the damper on an outer side and an inner side in a clutch radial direction on a rear side on which rotary drive power from the clutch gear is applied. A minimal distance between each first cutout portion and the engagement hole is smaller than a distance between the engagement hole and an outer circumference of the disk.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoshihiko Inagaki, Hidekazu Yasui

Patent number: 9776500Abstract: A side covering body for a motorcycle includes an under-the-seat covering for covering a vertical gap between a seat and a vehicle body frame from an outer side and a rear covering disposed rearwardly of the under-the-seat covering. The under-the-seat covering has a front portion formed with a shroud portion that covers an outer side of a radiator and guides the incoming wind towards the radiator. The under-the-seat covering and the rear covering are connected together via a joint portion, while having respective outer side surfaces held substantially in flush with each other. The joint portion has an upper end positioned rearwardly of an intermediate portion of the seat with respect to a forward and rearward direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoshihiko Inagaki, Minoru Kobayashi

Patent number: 9587682Abstract: A clutch includes a clutch housing configured to hold a clutch plate, and a clutch gear configured to transmit rotary drive power to the clutch housing via a damper. The clutch housing has a rib that regulates a position, of the damper, in an axial direction. The dampers are accommodated in accommodation holes that are spaced from each other in a circumferential direction of the clutch gear. The rib is formed in an annular shape so as to be aligned with the accommodation holes.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoshihiko Inagaki, Yasushi Nakamura

Publication number: 20020024978Abstract: When it is determined that a pulse width of high harmonic light Lb to jitter of discharge light Ld is not appropriate as a result of comparison between a waveform of the discharge light Ld and that of the high harmonic light Lb, a main controller judges that the jitter of the discharge light Ld in a gas laser device is large, and controls to move a translating stage to extend a cavity length so to increase a pulse width of fundamental harmonic light La which is laser-oscillated by an oscillator. When the main controller determines that a light intensity of the high harmonic light Lb has a value smaller than a predetermined value and is not normal, it controls to move the translating stage to shorten the cavity length so to enhance the light intensity of seed light La to be laser-oscillated by the oscillator. Thus, the light intensity and pulse width of the seed light at injection locking are optimized.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2001Publication date: February 28, 2002Inventors: Yoshihiko Inagaki, Kazuaki Sajiki, Takashi Nire
