  • Patent number: 12253118
    Abstract: A clutch hub includes oil supply holes extending therethrough to supply lubricating oil from an interior of the clutch hub toward first clutch plates and second clutch plates. An injection port to allow injection of the lubricating oil into the interior of the clutch hub is located inside of the clutch hub between the clutch hub and a rotation axis of a clutch body. The clutch hub includes an inner circumferential portion including an opposing portion opposing the injection port, and a first portion closer to a first end portion of the clutch hub than the opposing portion in a direction extending along the rotation axis. The first portion includes an inclined inner circumferential surface structured such that a radius of the clutch hub decreases toward the first end portion.

  • Patent number: 12247630
    Abstract: A hydraulic clutch includes friction plates to transmit motive power, a piston movable between (i) a pressing position, at which the piston presses the friction plates for the hydraulic clutch to be engaged to transmit motive power, and (ii) a separated position, at which the piston is spaced apart from the friction plates for the hydraulic clutch to be disengaged to block motive power, the piston being movable into the pressing position in response to receiving hydraulic fluid to move the piston toward the pressing position, and a holder to (i) hold the piston at an intermediate position between the pressing position and the separated position in response to the piston coming into contact with the holder and (ii) release the piston from the intermediate position.

  • Patent number: 12152661
    Abstract: There is provided a work vehicle including a partition wall to keep partition between a first space zone as part of an internal space of the transmission case in which a differential mechanism is located and a second space zone as part of the internal space which is adjacent to the first space zone. An upper space is disposed above the partition wall and configured to allow lubricating oil scooped up from the first space zone by a ring gear to flow in the second space zone. A flow-out path is disposed below the upper space and configured to allow the lubricating oil to flow out of the second space zone to the first space zone.
