Patent number: 6523905Abstract: A crawler carrier capable of smoothly operating a driving force source even at a slant. The driving force source is arranged between a dump body and a cab and laid in a lateral direction and at the same time the driving force source and a heat exchanger are arranged in series in a lateral direction. With such an arrangement as above, the driving force source can be arranged at an upper structure frame under a state in which it becomes substantially horizontal without interfering with the dump body. Even when the crawler carrier performs work at a slant the engine can always be lubricated with lubricant oil and the driving force source can be operated smoothly.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2001Date of Patent: February 25, 2003Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seiji Tamura, Morio Oshina, Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Tsuyoshi Takayama, Yoshinori Sendai

Patent number: 6361246Abstract: A tired roller, which permits widening the field of view on both the left and right sides of an operator's section and is convenient for steering. In a tired roller with an operator's section arranged close to a right-hand side wall of a tired roller main body 11 and with an ingress-egress step 18 arranged on the tired roller main body 11, a space 20 for the arrangement of the ingress-egress step 18 is formed on the tired roller main body 11 at a position between a left-hand side wall and the operator's section. In the arrangement space 20, the ingress-egress step 18 which is provided with plural treads 21,22,23 is arranged extending aslant from the operator's section toward a lower part of the left-hand side wall, so that an operator 9 can look down at a road surface on the left side from the operator's section through a space above the treads 21,22,23.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1998Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seiji Tamura, Kiyoshi Hirasawa

Publication number: 20020030397Abstract: There is provided a crawler carrier capable of smoothly operating the driving force source even at a slant ground or the like. The driving force source is arranged between the dump body and the cab and laid in a lateral direction and at the same time the driving force source and the heat exchanger are arranged in series in a lateral direction. With such an arrangement as above, the driving force source can be arranged at the upper structure frame under a state in which it becomes substantially horizontal without being interfered with the dump body. With such an arrangement as above, even in the case that the crawler carrier performs a work at the slant ground such as a mountain area having a high gradient, the engine can always be lubricated with lubricant oil and the driving force source can be operated smoothly.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2001Publication date: March 14, 2002Inventors: Seiji Tamura, Morio Oshina, Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Tsuyoshi Takayama, Yoshinori Sendai

Patent number: 5069483Abstract: This invention is directed to a useful improvement in a seat belt mount mechanism of a seat belt for use in an automotive vehicle of the type that an anchor plate adapted to support the seat belt at the middle portion thereof is fixed securely to a door sash element of a vehicle body by way of a fixing bracket, and in which one end of the anchor plate is operatively introduced into an opening formed in a center pillar of a vehicle body in a state that a door is closed, wherein there is provided a latch engagement of a substantially T-shaped cross section at the leading of one end of the anchor plate. With this arrangement, the latch engagement of the anchor plate may positively be held from disengagement with the opening in the center pillar, when the door sash element of the vehicle body is deformed from a shock load, and also this possible deformation of the door sash element of the vehicle body from such a shock load may be prevented to a minimum.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1990Date of Patent: December 3, 1991Assignee: Suzuki Motor company LimitedInventor: Kiyoshi Hirasawa

Patent number: 5048866Abstract: This invention is directed to a useful improvement in a seat belt mount mechanism for use in an automotive vehicle of the type that an anchor plate adapted to support a shoulder anchor for holding the seat belt extending through an opening defined therein is mounted operatively to a door sash element of the vehicle body by way of a fixing bracket, wherein there is provided an elongated portion extending outwardly from the lower end of the anchor plate, upon which the elongated portion the shoulder anchor is held operatively, whereby it is feasible in practice to bring the mount for the shoulder anchor as far behind as possible of the door sash element, and consequently, the seat belt may serve more effectively in function to forcibly catch a driver or passengers therein. With this arrangement, it is possible in practice to make the anchor plate and the fixing bracket small and compact in construction, accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1990Date of Patent: September 17, 1991Assignee: Suzuki Motor Company LimitedInventor: Kiyoshi Hirasawa

Patent number: 5031933Abstract: The present invention provides a seat belt support structure wherein a bracket is fixedly secured on a door sash for holding an anchor plate which supports the seat belt, the seat belt support structure being characterized in that said bracket for fixedly securing the anchor plate is attached to the inner surface of the outer panel of said door sash and its attachment portion is concealed by a door glass run which is used to hold the door window glass, resulting in that screws do not project outwardly through the inner panel and a smooth sealing surface is ensured to seal a clearance between the door sash and the center pillar. Sealing members can thus be easily arranged and it is possible to improve sealing characteristics of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 1990Date of Patent: July 16, 1991Assignee: Suzuki Motor Company LimitedInventors: Kiyoshi Hirasawa, Nobunari Yamamoto

Patent number: 4689782Abstract: A motor driven hub has a socket defined concentrically therein, with an annular disk bearing surface left around the socket for supporting a flexible magnetic disk. Movable into and out of engagement with the hub is a rotatable clamp having a central body portion and a plurality of clamp segments extending radially outwardly therefrom. The clamp segments have centering portions to fit in the hub socket through the central hole in the magnetic disk for centering same, and clamping portions for clamping the disk against the disk bearing surface of the hub. Each clamp segment further includes a deflectable bridge portion joining the associated centering and clamping portions to the body portion, so that the centering and clamping portions of all the clamp segments are individually resiliently displaceable for firmly clamping the magnetic disk.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 1985Date of Patent: August 25, 1987Assignee: Teac CorporationInventors: Isamu Tsuchiya, Kiyoshi Hirasawa
