Abstract: In a lock member of a pull-out lock device, while two adjacent sheet containers are both located at an accommodated position in an image-forming apparatus main body, a contact member is in contact with one of the sheet containers and thus the lock member rotates around a rotation axis, and a lock moves to an unlock position to allow the other sheet container to move in a pull-out direction, and while the other sheet container is located at the accommodated position and the one of the sheet containers is pulled out from the accommodated position in the pull-out direction and thus the contact between the one of the sheet containers and the contact member is removed, the lock member rotates around the rotation axis and the lock moves to a lock position to prohibit the other sheet container from moving in the pull-out direction.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a duct through which air taken in from outside a housing is sent into the housing, a blower fan provided at an upstream end of the duct, a toner bottle provided facing a wall surface of the duct, and a fixing section provided on a downstream side of the toner bottle. A component-facing section facing the toner bottle is formed to be smaller in cross-sectional area than a fan placement section. Therefore, by absorbing heat of air around the toner bottle via a wall of the component-facing section, the component-facing section prevents the toner bottle from becoming hot.

Abstract: A drive device includes: an oil pump; a first rotation transfer member drivably coupled to the oil pump and driven by at least one of an internal combustion engine and a rotary electric machine; and a second rotation transfer member drivably coupled to wheels and driven by the rotary electric machine. One of the first rotation transfer member and the second rotation transfer member is a pinion. The other rotation transfer member is a carrier that rotatably supports the pinion. The pinion and the carrier are rotated together with each other in the case where the oil pump is driven by the rotary electric machine.

Abstract: A hybrid drive having a clutch and a rotary electric machine disposed radially outwardly of the clutch so as to at least partially overlap the clutch in an axial direction as seen from a radially outer side, the rotary electric machine having a stator fixed to a case and a rotor coupled to the input member of the automatic transmission device. A clutch lubricating oil hole formed in a center shaft that extends at a center portion of the clutch and the rotary electric machine. A rotary electric machine lubricating oil hole formed in the center shaft. Separation means for separating lubricating oil such that lubricating oil from the clutch lubricating oil hole is led to the clutch and lubricating oil from the rotary electric machine lubricating oil hole is led to the rotary electric machine.

Abstract: A control device, wherein, after the ignition is turned on or the vehicular power supply is turned on and before a first change from the parking range to the travel range occurs, the control device supplies oil to a piston hydraulic pressure chamber of the hydraulic pressure type engagement element in a manner such that air in the piston hydraulic pressure chamber of the hydraulic pressure type engagement element is discharged but a torque capacity does not exceed zero.

Abstract: A vehicle drive apparatus includes a motor generator, a speed reduction mechanism connected to a rotor shaft of the motor generator, an output shaft connected to the speed reduction mechanism, an intermediate wall separating the motor generator from the speed reduction mechanism, and a bearing that is fixed to the intermediate wall and supports the rotor shaft. The motor generator, intermediate wall, speed reduction mechanism, and output shaft are disposed in this order, and a ring gear of the speed reduction mechanism is fixed. The ring gear is fixed to the intermediate wall via a ring gear flange that is positioned relative and fixed to the intermediate wall by a centering mechanism and a locking mechanism. The centering mechanism is formed by fitting a boss of the ring gear flange and the intermediate wall. The locking mechanism is disposed on an outer peripheral side relative to the centering mechanism.

Abstract: An automatic transmission that is structured such that the first clutch, the third clutch, and the fourth clutch are disposed in an axial direction more toward the speed-reduction planetary gear than the planetary gear unit; friction plates of the first clutch are disposed so as to be offset in the axial direction with respect to friction plates of the third clutch and friction plates of the fourth clutch; and the friction plates of the fourth clutch are disposed such that at least a portion thereof coincides in the axial direction with the friction plates of the third clutch on an inner peripheral side of the friction plates of the third clutch.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission 1, a clutch C-1, a clutch C-3, and a clutch C-4 are disposed in an axial direction more toward the planetary gear DP side than the planetary gear unit PU. The friction plates 21 of the clutch C-1 and the friction plates 31 of the clutch C-3 are disposed on the outer peripheral side of the planetary gear DP, and at least a portion of the friction plates 41 of the clutch C-4 is disposed so as to coincide in an axial direction with the inner peripheral side of the friction plates 31 of the clutch C-3. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the length of the automatic transmission 1 in an axial direction by the amount that the friction plates 31 of the clutch C-3 and the friction plates 41 of the clutch C-4 coincide in an axial direction.
