  • Patent number: 11339839
    Abstract: The reverse input shutoff clutch includes: an input member, an output member coaxially arranged with the input member, a pressed member having a pressed surface, and an engaging element. The engaging element, when rotational torque is inputted to the input member, moves in a direction away from the pressed surface due to engagement with the input member and transmits the rotational torque to the output member, and when rotational torque is reversely inputted to the output member, moves in a direction toward the pressed surface due to engagement with the output member, and prevents or suppresses relative rotation between the output member and the pressed member.

    Abstract: Fletching wear caused by elastic deformation in the axial direction of an input-side disk 2c due to thrust force of a pressure device is prevented. A female-spline section 13a formed around the middle section in the axial direction of the inner-circumferential surface of a center hole 19 in the input-side disk 2c and a male-spline section 12a formed around the outer-circumferential surface of one end section in the axial direction of an input rotating shaft 1b engage with a spline engagement. A disk-side fitting surface section 22 formed around a portion of the inner-circumferential surface of the center hole 19 in the input-side disk 2c that is adjacent to the other end side of the female-spline section 13a and a shaft-side fitting surface section 23 formed around a portion of the outer-circumferential surface of the input rotating shaft 1b that is adjacent to the other end side of the male spline section 12a are fitted together with an interference fit.

  • Patent number: 9695914
    Abstract: Construction is achieved whereby durability is maintained while size and weight are reduced. Installation plate sections are provided on the top and bottom end sections of a pair of support columns. Bolts are inserted through through-holes that penetrate through the installation plate sections in the axial direction; the bolts are then screwed into screw holes provided in the axial direction of anchor sections of an actuator body and a connecting plate, and the bolts are further tightened, whereby the support columns are securely joined and fastened to the actuator body and the connecting plate.

  • Patent number: 9670996
    Abstract: Construction of a toroidal continuously-variable transmission is achieved that simplifies the manufacture of parts, management of parts and assembly work, is able to easily reduce costs, stabilizes speed change operations, and is processed easily. An outer ring 16b of a thrust rolling bearing is supported so as to be able to pivotally displace by engaging a concave section 24 that is provided on the outside surface of the outer ring 16b with a cylindrical convex surface 22 of a support beam 23a of a trunnion 7b. Displacement of the outer ring 16b in the axial direction of the support beam 23a is limited by engaging a concave groove 27 that is formed around the inside surface of the concave section 24 in the circumferential direction around the support beam 23a with a protrusion 28 that is formed around the outer-circumferential surface of the support beam 23a.

  • Publication number: 20160178036
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressing unit for pressing an input disc in an axial direction includes a first hydraulic pressure chamber and a second hydraulic pressure chamber, a primary piston facing the first hydraulic pressure chamber and a secondary piston facing the second hydraulic pressure chamber, and oil holes configured to supply oil into the first hydraulic pressure chamber are formed in an input shaft, while oil paths configured to supply oil into the second hydraulic pressure chamber are formed in the secondary piston. Consequently, a separate oil hole configured to supply oil into the second hydraulic pressure chamber is not formed in the input shaft. Thus, it is possible to mitigate the cost and labor hours involved in fabrication of the input shaft. Two oil holes spaced apart from each other in an axial direction do not exist in the input shaft.

  • Patent number: 9188206
    Abstract: Power roller-side concave grooves are opposed to disk-side concave grooves 19, 19 so as to have angles therebetween in a rolling contact area between a peripheral surface of the power roller and a one-side surface 17 of a disk 16 in an axial direction regardless of a transmission gear ratio of a toroidal continuously variable transmission. Accordingly, the disk-side concave grooves 19, 19 are formed so as to have angles with respect to a circumferential direction of the disk 16 when viewed from a normal direction relative to the one-side surface 17 in the axial direction. Meanwhile, the power roller-side concave grooves are formed into a concentric shape (or a spiral shape) about a central shaft of the power roller. As a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease of a contact area in the rolling contact area regardless of the transmission gear ratio.

  • Patent number: 9080652
    Abstract: The present invention provides a toroidal continuously variable transmission capable of reducing loss which occurs at a bearing and achieving range-widening at low cost with easy disc machinability. In the toroidal continuously variable transmission, a bearing ring 100 of a ball bearing 6 is formed at a small end surface 3a of an inner disc 3. Further, at least a part of the bearing ring 100 is axially overlapped with a traction surface 12 which is a boundary surface between a power roller and the inner disc 3. Further, a position adjustment member 120 is inserted between support posts 8a, 8b and a bearing ring facing to the disc 3 (the other bearing ring of the ball bearing 6 opposed to the bearing ring 100 of the small end surface 3a).
