Patent number: 9382680Abstract: An auger snow-removing machine includes a forward rotation shaft and a reverse rotation shaft disposed on the same axis and aligned in a width direction of an auger housing within the auger housing, and a transmission disposed inside the auger housing such that the forward rotation shaft and the reverse rotation shaft are rotated concurrently in opposite directions by a driving force transmitted from the transmission. A case of the transmission is divided into a front case member and a rear case member at a position behind a reverse rotation drive shaft extending in the width direction of the auger housing. The front case member has a first gear unit assembled therein, and the rear case member has a second gear unit assembled therein. The first and second gear units are assembled together when the front and rear case members are assembled together.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Atsushi Yamada, Fumiyoshi Kanbara, Masahiro Akiyama

Patent number: 7028570Abstract: A transmission for a working machine including a drive transmission mechanism and a working transmission mechanism operated by swinging a shift lever is provided. The drive transmission mechanism has a key-sliding transmission mechanism axially mounted on a drive shaft. The key-sliding transmission mechanism causes a selected one of a plurality of gears rotatably mounted on the drive shaft and the drive shaft to rotate together to transmit power to drive wheels.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshitaka Ohta, Fumiyoshi Kanbara

Patent number: 6955102Abstract: A transmission for working machines having a drive transmission mechanism and a working transmission mechanism which are operated by swinging a shift lever is provided. The transmission has a drive shift member for connecting the shift lever to the drive transmission mechanism and a working shift member for connecting the shift lever to the working transmission mechanism. The shift lever has a first protrusion constantly engaging the drive shift member and a second protrusion arranged to engage with or disengage from the working shift member. When the first protrusion engages the drive shift member with the second protrusion not engaged with the working shift member, only the drive transmission mechanism operates. When the first protrusion engages the drive shift member with the second protrusion also engaging the working shift member, both the drive transmission mechanism and the working transmission mechanism operate.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2003Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fumiyoshi Kanbara, Yoshitaka Ohta
