  • Patent number: 4714451
    Abstract: A V belt stepless variable transmission provided with a driving pulley comprising a stationary conical disc fixed to a drive shaft and a movable conical disc axially movable with respect to the drive shaft, a driven pulley comprising a stationary conical disc fixed to a driven shaft and a movable conical disc axially movable with repsect to the driven shaft, and an endless V belt running across both the pulleys, so that an interval between each stationary conical disc and each movable conical disc is changed to thereby carry out stepless variable transmission, the driving pulley being provided with a tension adjusting means for mechanically giving to the movable conical disc thrust to meet input torque to thereby adjust tension on the V belt, and the driven pulley being provided with an hydraulic actuating cylinder for hydraulically driving the movable conical disc at the driven pulley, so that a fluid is supplied or discharged to or from the hydraulic actuating cylinder so as to actuate the movable conical d

  • Patent number: 4708329
    Abstract: A fluid-filled power unit mount device consists of a mount rubber securely interposed between two base plates. A partition plate is securely connected to one of the base plate so as to define fluid and auxiliary chambers on the opposite sides thereof. The partition plate is formed with an orifice to provide fluid communication between the fluid and auxiliary chambers, and provided with two parallely arranged movable mechanisms each having a movable member. The movable member is movable under small amplitude high frequency vibration causing booming noise, but restrained from its movement under large amplitude low frequency vibration, thereby effectively damping even vibration which is slightly higher in frequency than the booming noise generating high frequency vibration.

  • Patent number: 4679778
    Abstract: A fluid-containing power unit mounting device capable of effectively damping vibration in a wide range of frequency is shown. The damping function of the device is accomplished by a mounting rubber forming an internal fluid-containing chamber between a power unit and a chassis, a partition plate dividing the chamber and including a plurality of valve mechansims in series and an orifice communicating between both sides of the chamber.

  • Patent number: 4639006
    Abstract: A suspension arm for supporting an automobile wheel is joined with a gusset by two bushing means. The gusset is fixed to an automobile body to hold the suspension arm to the automobile body. Each of the bushing means is placed coaxially with the other in the fore and aft direction of the automobile and allows the suspension arm to turn up and down. Preferably, each of the bushing means comprises a bushing and a pin inserted into the bushing.
