  • Damper and operation unit
    Patent number: 9434253
    Abstract: A damper restricts pivot pin rotation associated with operation of an operating section, wherein friction resistance that impedes the pivot pin rotation is changed in stepped fashion. When the pivot pin rotates in direction ? due to depression of an accelerator pedal, a slide cam shifts an edge section of an inclined cam surface away from a rotating cam while staying in contact with a gradual first inclined region of the rotating cam's inclined cam surface. Torque around the axis of the pivot pin is produced, the entire region of the slide cam's inclined cam surface comes into contact with a steep second inclined region of the rotating cam's inclined cam surface upon accelerator pedal depression to a prescribed position (the pivot pin has rotated by a prescribed angle ?1 in direction ?), and the torque around the axis of the pivot pin rapidly increases.

  • Rotation transmitting member, coupling directly connected to shafts, and shaft connecting mechanism
    Patent number: 9334903
    Abstract: A more durable rotation transmitting member for a coupling directly connected to shafts has: drive-side rotation transmitting cushion to which an input shaft is directly connected; and a hub to which an output shaft is directly connected. Two parallel flat surfaces are formed on the outer periphery of the front end of the input shaft, and a shaft hole receives the front end of the input shaft and is formed in the rotation transmitting cushion. Surfaces of the inner wall of the shaft hole protrude toward the axis (O) to face input shaft front end flat surfaces. Each protruding surface comprises two flat sloped surfaces extending in the direction of the axis (O). When the input shaft starts to rotate, each front end flat of the front end comes into surface contact with one of the protruding surface sloped surfaces which faces the flat surface.
