  • Publication number: 20140290429
    Abstract: Provided is a power transmission device that is able to prevent, by use of existing components, breather blow from occurring via an air hole and to prevent an increase of a manufacturing cost. A power transmission device (11) is configured such that a terminal block (81) is attached to an upper portion of a housing (21) so as to be opposed to an air hole (59), and the terminal block (81) is disposed between the air hole (59) and a breather hole (60). In an upper portion of the housing (21) of a transaxle case (12), the terminal block (81) includes: terminals (87U, 87V) that connect a bus cable connector of a bus cable to terminals (86U, 86V) of wirings (85U, 85V) of a stator (44) of a motor generator (17) accommodated in a motor chamber (71); and a housing (82) that holds the terminals (87U, 87V).

  • Patent number: 7963703
    Abstract: A thrust roller bearing including: a pair of races each of which has an annular plate; a cage interposed between the pair of races, formed by a single annular plate including a bent portion bent in an intermediate region in a radial direction of the cage such that a plurality of projecting portions to project in a thickness direction of the cage are formed on a first side and a second side of the cage, and a plurality of pockets stamped out in the thickness direction at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction of the cage; and a plurality of rollers received respectively in the pockets. At least two projecting portions are formed on each of the first side and the second side of the cage; and a plurality of race-contacting projection portions are arranged on a surface of at least one of the two projecting portions on at least one of the first side and the second side of the cage at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the cage.

  • Patent number: 7267626
    Abstract: The boss portion of an arm is oscillatably supported with respect to a support member. A tension pulley is rotatably engaged with a tip portion of the arm. A guide plate is fixed to the axial tip portion of the support member to face the boss portion. A friction plate is sandwiched between the boss portion and the guide plate to apply an oscillational resistance to the boss portion by a spring. A vibration attenuating member is provided in the guide plate so as to control the vibration of the guide plate caused by a stick-slip phenomenon in contacting portions between the friction plate, boss portion and guide plate.
