Patent number: 11767891Abstract: To provide a cam clutch unit that reduces the number of machining steps and level of difficulty of cam clutch production and reduces rotation resistance caused by rollers. The cam clutch unit includes: a plurality of cams and a plurality of rollers circumferentially arranged between an inner race and an outer race that are coaxial and rotatable relative to each other; a cage ring having a plurality of pocket portions that restrict circumferential relative movements of the cams and the rollers; and an annular spring that biases the cams. The cams each have, on one axial end face, an engagement step that can engage with the spring. The cage ring has a plurality of hook portions that restrict axial movements of the annular spring.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2023Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: TSUBAKIMOTO CHAIN CO.Inventors: Akihiro Fukuda, Hirokazu Tsuneda, Yuji Kurematsu

Publication number: 20080247560Abstract: An audio collector collects an ambient sound near a sound-catching ear and converts the collected ambient sound into a collected-sound electrical signal. A noise canceller generates an offset sound for acoustically canceling the ambient sound based on a phase-inverted collected-sound electrical signal obtained when a phase of the collected-sound electrical signal is inverted and emits the generated offset sound near the sound-catching ear. An ambient sound monitor generates a monitor sound which is a phase inversion sound of the ambient sound based on the phase-inverted collected-sound electrical signal and emits the generated monitor sound near the sound-catching ear.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2008Publication date: October 9, 2008Inventors: Akihiro Fukuda, Kouji Okamura
