  • Patent number: 10070544
    Abstract: A configuration compensates for the pressure in a housing, in which at least one housing wall has a pressure compensation opening which is sealed with a semi-permeable membrane. The membrane is fixed, at least in a material fit to the housing wall and is covered by a protective element. Accordingly, the housing wall has, in the region of the pressure compensation opening, an indentation and/or recess for receiving the membrane. The respective periphery thereof corresponds to a periphery of the membrane and the height thereof corresponds at least to the thickness of the membrane.

  • Patent number: 9865949
    Abstract: An electronic device has a base plate and a connector. Multiple terminals are supported by a connector housing, wherein each front-side end of the terminals outwardly extends from a front-side surface and each back-side end of the terminals outwardly extends from a back-side surface of the connector housing and connected to a corresponding land formed in the base plate. The multiple terminals are arranged in a width direction and divided into at least a first and a second terminal group in a height direction of the connector housing. The connector housing has a first and a second step surface on its back side. The terminal of the first terminal group outwardly extends from the first step surface and the terminal of the second terminal group outwardly extends from the second step surface. The first step surface is located at a position closer to the base plate in the height direction than the second step surface.

  • Patent number: 8708124
    Abstract: A parking lock apparatus for a transmission including a meshing type clutch is provided in which when a parking lock is operated by engaging a parking pawl (43) with a parking gear (41) provided on a gear shaft of a transmission, since a parking rod (51) for operating the parking pawl (43) is provided on a shift rod (44) connected to and operated by an actuator (46) in order to establish a reverse gear position on the transmission, it is possible to establish the reverse gear position with a shift fork (48) by moving the shift rod (44) in one direction from the neutral position, and to carry out the operation of the parking lock automatically without requiring a special actuator by moving the shift rod (44) in another direction from the neutral position, thereby reducing the size and cost of the transmission by enabling the number of components, including the number of actuators (46), to be cut.

  • Patent number: 7191870
    Abstract: A breather apparatus for a power train of vehicle is presented, which has a motor and a gear box connected to the motor, including a common case wall, first and second breather paths formed within the common case wall and a third breather path provided for communicating with both the first and second breather paths at an upper portion of the common case wall, and further communicating with the atmosphere. The apparatus has a feature that a blocking device is provided so that the lubricant coming through the second breather path can be prevented from entering the first breather path.
