  • Publication number: 20060217207
    Abstract: Internal dimensions for fixed-type constant velocity universal joints are defined to optimize the geometry of the components of the joints and to readily achieve a larger operating angle of the joints. In the joint, the track grooves of an outer ring and an inner ring are tapered by an angle not exceeding 12°. The ratio (f/PCR) of the cage offset amount f to PCR is greater than 0 and smaller than or equal to 0.12. The ratio (Do/d) of the cage outer diameter (Do) to the ball diameter (d), the ratio (t/d) of the cage wall thickness (t) to the ball diameter (d), and the ratio (w/d) of the cage width (w) to the ball diameter (d) are such that 3.9?Do/d?4.1, 0.31?t/d?0.34, and 1.8?w/d?2.0, respectively. The end of the spherical outer surface of the cage adjacent to the open end is axially extended, and the end of the spherical inner surface of the cage adjacent to the open end is tapered so that the tapered surface has an increasing diameter toward the end of the spherical outer surface adjacent to the open end.

  • Patent number: 7074234
    Abstract: There is provided a steam generator for a sustained supply, in a simple and easy way and without displacement, of steam that is as safe as in a steamed towel to the body skin or mucosa. The steam generator has a steam generation portion composed of a steam-generating composition containing a metal powder, a salt, and water, and an adhesive layer on the surface which is to be applied to the skin or mucosa. The steam-generating composition discharges steam as the metal powder is oxidized. In the steam generation portion, the steam-generating composition is held or sandwiched in a support so as to inhibit the movement of the steam-generating composition inside the steam generation portion, and the steam generation portion itself is formed into a sheet.

  • Patent number: 6602142
    Abstract: A constant velocity universal joint has a ring that is fitted on each trunnion and rotatably supports a corresponding roller so the roller is movable axially of an outer joint member along a roller guide surface. The outer circumferential surface of each trunnion has a straight shape, as viewed in the longitudinal section, and has, as viewed in the cross section, a shape which allows contact with the inner circumferential surface of the ring in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the outer joint member. A generatrix of the inner circumferential surface of the ring forms part of an ellipse having a major axis extending in a direction orthogonal to the axis of the ring or is composed of a central convex circular arc and a tangential line extending from an end portion of the circular arc to an end face of the ring.
