Patent number: 11773959Abstract: A driving force transmitting device includes a case, an electric motor, and a gearbox. The electric motor includes an output shaft. The gearbox includes a spur gear that rotates coaxially with the output shaft. The case includes a partition wall, a first accommodating chamber accommodating the electric motor, and a second accommodating chamber that accommodates a second driven gear. The partition separates the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber from each other. The partition wall includes a connecting hole that connects the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber to each other. The connecting hole is located on one direction side in relation to the central axis of the output shaft. At least part of the connecting hole overlaps with the spur gear when viewed in a direction along the central axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, AISIN CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroki Takeda, Akihiro Makino, Isao Sato, Haruhisa Suzuki, Yoshiteru Hagino, Koichi Hasegawa, Yasuaki Tahara, Masahiko Kanamaru, Jo Torii, Takeshi Torii, Tokiyoshi Kida

Patent number: 5205883Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire having a circular bead core of substantially polygonal cross section which includes a base (a) adjacent an inclined bead base portion of the tire, an inner side (b) on a side of the bead core nearest a bead toe portion of the tire, an outer side (d) on a side of the bead core nearest a bead heel portion of the tire, and a top side (c) opposite the base (a) and joining the inner side (b) and the outer side (d). An inclination .theta..sub.1 of the base (a) relative to the axial direction of the tire is substantially the same as that of the bead base portion relative to the axial direction of the tire. A cross angle .beta. between the base (a) and the inner side (b) is 70.degree. to 90.degree.. An inclination .theta..sub.2 of the top side (c) relative to the axial direction of the tire is smaller than the inclination .theta..sub.1 and the direction of inclination of the top side (c) is opposite to that of the base (a).Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1991Date of Patent: April 27, 1993Assignee: The Yokohama Rubber Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masahiko Kanamaru
