  • Patent number: 9908681
    Abstract: Provided is a food degassing bag which has a stable gas venting operation in response to carbon dioxide gas produced in different amounts and by which a gas venting effect can be obtained even when the internal pressure of a storage bag is low. The storage bag is composed of a packaging film layer 1 and a degassing layer 2. A polyethylene layer 2A and an oxygen barrier layer 2B compose the degassing layer 2. In the degassing layer 2, gas venting through-pores 4 are opened. An adhesive layer 3 adheres the packaging film layer 1 and the polyethylene layer 2A of the degassing layer 2 together. The adhesive layer 3 is formed sequentially with non-adhesive portions showing a stripe pattern. The non-adhesive portions form degassing vents leading to the outside of the storage bag.

  • Patent number: 7604558
    Abstract: A piston operating a first clutch is disposed between a first drum accommodating the first clutch and a second drum accommodating a second clutch, and an oil reservoir storing lubricating oil that has lubricated the first clutch is provided on an inner cylindrical surface of a skirt portion of the piston. Barriers having different inner diameters are provided to the axial front and rear of the oil reservoir. When the second clutch is disengaged such that the amount of lubricating oil supplied to the oil reservoir increases, the lubricating oil overflows the barrier having the smaller inner diameter, and thus flows to the second clutch.

  • Patent number: 7341133
    Abstract: A hydraulic power transmission is provided with a frictional engagement element as a lock-up clutch between a hydraulic power transmission chamber, housing a pump impeller and a turbine runner, and a servo oil chamber of the lock-up clutch. A lock-up oil passage that supplies lock-up hydraulic pressure to the servo oil chamber is connected to a hydraulic pressure supply circuit that is used in common with a circulation oil passage that supplies hydraulic pressure for circulation to the hydraulic power transmission chamber. An orifice is disposed in the circulation oil passage. It is thus possible to perform lock-up with different supply pressures. A common oil supply for the lock-up oil passage and the circulation oil passage is provided, for example, by disposing a converting circuit that adapts an oil passage connection to hydraulic transmissions with different types of lock-up clutches.
