  • Patent number: 10982115
    Abstract: An adhesive composition according to the present invention contains a polymerizable monomer (A) and a block copolymer (B) including a polymer block (a) which includes structural units derived from a styrene compound and from a maleimide compound, and an acrylic polymer block (b), in which the polymer block (a) and the acrylic polymer block (b) have a solubility parameter of 10.0 or more and 9.0 or more, respectively; the polymer block (a) contains the structural unit derived from a maleimide compound at a concentration from 30% by mass to 99% by mass with respect to the total mass of the polymer block (a); the polymer block (a) has a glass transition temperature of 150° C. or higher; and the polymer block (b) has a glass transition temperature of 20° C. or lower.

  • Patent number: 8608605
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus for a tractor is operable to transmit a forward drive force in a wide speed changing range to the traveling device and which is operable also to transmit a reverse drive force to the traveling device. A planetary transmission section is configured to output the forward drive force in whichever case a hydrostatic stepless speed changing section is speed-changed to a forward rotation speed change state or a reverse rotation speed change state. A low speed transmission clutch couples a low speed side speed changing gear to a counter shaft to be rotatable therewith. A high speed transmission clutch couples a high speed side speed changing gear to the counter shaft to be rotatable therewith. A reverse transmission clutch couples a reverse transmission gear to an output shaft to be rotatable therewith.

  • Patent number: 8303448
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus including a stepless speed change device receiving an engine drive; a planetary transmission device for, by a plurality of planetary transmission mechanisms, combining an output from the stepless speed change device and the engine drive not subject to a speed change by the stepless speed change device; and a speed range setting device for outputting the drive combined by the planetary transmission device and divided into a plurality of speed ranges. The planetary transmission device, the speed range setting device and a forward-reverse changeover device are located forwardly of a rear end of an upstream transmission case portion. An electric motor may be used instead of the stepless speed change device.

  • Publication number: 20120225746
    Abstract: Disclosed is a transmission apparatus for a tractor which is operable to transmit a forward drive force in a wide speed changing range to the traveling device and which is operable also to transmit a reverse drive force to the traveling device in an inexpensive manner and with good transmission efficiency. A planetary transmission section (30) is configured to output the forward drive force in whichever case a hydrostatic stepless speed changing section (11) is speed-changed to a forward rotation speed change state or a reverse rotation speed change state. A low speed transmission clutch (45) couples a low speed side speed changing gear (41), meshed with a low speed side output gear (31) of the planetary transmission section (30), to a counter shaft (44) to be rotatable therewith.
