Abstract: A suction inlet port (48) is formed in an inner peripheral surface on a bottom portion side of a differential housing (15), and the suction inlet port (48) is connected to a suction outlet port (42) formed in an outer peripheral surface of the differential housing (15) via a suction pipe line (43). The suction outlet port (42) is formed in a mounting seat (16) to which a lubricating pump (30) is attached. A discharge port (44) introducing lubricating oil discharged from the lubricating pump (30) is formed in an upper position of the mounting seat (16), and a discharge pipe line 45 is connected to the discharge port (44). Each of a first discharge port (46) and a second discharge port (47) is formed in an end portion of the discharge pipe line (45). The suction pipe line (43) and the discharge pipe line (45) are formed integrally with the differential housing (15) by casting or the like.

Abstract: A water heating apparatus comprising a refrigerant loop for natural circulation which includes a hot water storage tank for holding water to be heated, a heat collecting plate for collecting solar heat, and refrigerant tubes having a refrigerant sealed therein and extending to unite the hot water storage tank with the heat collecting plate and another refrigerant loop for refrigeration cycle which includes a compressor and an expansion valve which are connected in the refrigerant tube uniting the hot water storage tank with the heat collecting plate. The water in the hot water storage tank is elevated in temperature selectively by the natural circulation action where there is a sufficient amount of sunshine or by the refrigeration cycle where the amount of sunshine is insufficient.

Abstract: There are disclosed a method and device for tightening bolts, characterized by including drive means, detection means and control means whereby a bolt (or nut) is turned at high speed until it comes in contact with the tightening bearing surface of a member to be clamped (such as a plate), whereupon it is turned at low speed through a predetermined angle until it is stopped at a predetermined tightening completion position.

Abstract: A method is provided for fastening bolts and like threaded fasteners wherein the bolt is rotated initially at a high rate of speed until it comes to a point in relation to the bearing surface of the member to be clamped not past the snug point of the bolt head to the bearing surface of a member to be clamped, such as, for example, a plate, whereupon the bolt is thereafter rotated at a low rate of speed of rotation through a predetermined angle until it is stopped at a predetermined tightening completion position.
