Abstract: A branch wire tie band including a strap portion on which ratchet grooves are formed, the strap portion extending from a head portion within which a strap locking channel is formed. A curved attachment coil, which is preformed as an integral portion of the strap portion, is placed around the branched portion of a wire harness after which the strap portion is inserted and locked into the band locking channel. The tie band may includes two tie band strap portions extending from respective head portions and an anchor plate within which left and right through holes are formed. The two tie band straps may be inserted through the left and right through holes in the anchor plate from where they extend diagonally, their tip portions crossing, and their head portions prevented from passing through the through holes.

Abstract: A wire harness has a trunk line, a branch line and a wire tie member. The trunk line includes a bundle of wires. The branch line branches from the trunk line at a branch portion, and has at least one wire. The wire tie member has a tie strap and a buckle. A non-tying portion of the tie strap passes through and extends beyond the buckle. A tying portion of the tie strap encircles and holds the bundle of wires of the trunk line adjacent the branch portion. The branch line is disposed along and is tightly secured to the non-tying portion of the strap. The non-tying portion supports the branch line in a predetermined routing orientation.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an assembly of an outer ring of a one-way clutch and a stator housing of a torque converter is provided. An outer ring is provided and its outer peripheral surface is subjected to a plastic deformation process, such as forging, to thereby form an up and down structure which extends from one side only halfway through to the outer side of the outer ring. Preferably, the main body of the outer ring is deformed such that side projections are formed at spaced intervals in a circumferential direction to thereby define a spline-like structure. Then, the outer ring is machined only at its inner peripheral surface and its side surface which is opposite to the side where the up and down structure is formed. Thus, the outer peripheral surface and the side surface where the up and down structure is formed are left unmachined. Then, a stator housing is formed either by molding or casting using the outer ring thus formed as an insert.

Abstract: A one-way clutch with a cage-displacement limiting mechanism is constructed of an outer race; an inner race concentric with the outer race; sprags arranged within a space between the outer and inner races and being displaceable between first positions, where the sprags are maintained in contact with the inner and outer races to transmit a torque, and second positions where the sprags cannot transmit any torque; first and second annular cages arranged within the space with a radial interval therebetween, holding the sprags in place, and being rotatable relative to each other between first relative positions, where the sprags are caused to move to the first positions, and second relative positions where the sprags are caused to move to the second positions; a limiting means for connecting the cages to each other and limiting the degrees of relative movements of the cages; and a means for urging the sprags to the first positions.

Abstract: A ribbon spring for use in a sprag-synchronized one-way clutch includes a metal thin plate which is formed with a plurality of sprag insertion holes of a predetermined shape preferably defined by stamping. In one embodiment, the sprag insertion hole is generally E-shaped as defined by a pair of tabs substantially identical in shape and size which extend into the sprag insertion hole from one side edge thereof. In another embodiment, the sprag insertion hole is generally C-shaped as defined by a relatively wide tab which extends into the sprag insertion hole from one side edge thereof and which is formed with a slot. With these structures, the sprag is prevented from wobbling or skewing during operation and an optimal spring constant can be set easily.
