Patent number: 11619286Abstract: To provide a tensioner unit, a rocking lever, and a tensioner, which, prevent breakage of the tensioner in use for a prolonged period of time. A protruding part is provided to a rocking lever near an abutment surface for abutment with a plunger to make contact with a tensioner body. h and H satisfy the relationship of h<H, where h denotes a protruding amount of a lead part of the plunger, where the lead part means a part protruding from the plunger bore, from a tip end surface on an opened side of the tensioner body in a state where the plunger sits on a bottom of the plunger bore, and H denotes an interval between the abutment surface of the rocking lever and the tip end surface of the tensioner body when the protruding part is brought into contact with the tensioner body.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: TSUBAKIMOTO CHAIN CO.Inventors: Masahiko Konno, Akira Kobara, Koichi Shimosaka

Patent number: 11326669Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a chain tensioner that can prevent breakage or deformation of its components during transport or storage, prevent wrong assembly, and increase the degree of design freedom. The chain tensioner includes a guide lever supported pivotably on an arm part that is provided to a tensioner body. The tensioner body has a body-side fixing pin hole positioned for a stopper pin to pass through without extending through the plunger. The guide lever has a lever-side fixing pin hole that comes to be coaxial with the body-side fixing pin hole in a predetermined pivoting position.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: TSUBAKIMOTO CHAIN CO.Inventors: Masahiko Konno, Koichi Shimosaka

Publication number: 20140342861Abstract: A stationary guide for an engine timing chain is mounted by engagement of two longitudinally space mounting holes with two pins protruding from an engine block. At least one of the holes is formed with a stop wall positioned to prevent improper reverse mounting of the guide. The stop wall can be positioned to allow an amount of lateral sliding of the stationary guide, or can be positioned so that its abutment with the end of a mounting pin positions the guide in proper alignment with the normal path of travel of the timing chain.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Inventors: Koichi Shimosaka, Atsushi Kawano, Atsushi Kumakura

Publication number: 20110019215Abstract: To provide a print character selector of a printer and assembling method of operating member of the print character selector which configures both the axial direction regulation mechanism for the indexing regulation of the selector wheel 6 and the rotational direction regulating mechanism for the selection regulation of the print character of the endless print band 8 at the knob shaft 16. The print character selector includes a plurality of regulating recesses at a periphery of the knob shaft of the operating member (5) both in axial and rotational directions of the shaft. An urging member for regulation engages and disengages from the regulating recesses. A plurality of regulating recesses (16A) capable of selecting any one of the selector wheels (6) by moving the knob (15) along the axial direction, and configured for selecting any one of the print characters by rotating the knob around the axial direction are provided on the knob shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2008Publication date: January 27, 2011Inventor: Koichi Shimosaka
