  • Patent number: 11787236
    Abstract: A motorcycle pneumatic tire, in which the tread includes a central rubber and a side rubber, having a lower modulus than the central rubber, that are sequentially laminated in both tire widthwise side portions, the side rubber extending to a tire width-direction inner side further than a point at ¼ of a tread width on a tire width-direction outer side from a tire equator. A tire ground-contact surface has a tread pattern that includes plural inclined grooves and, when the tread width is equally divided in eight, a region constituting a range of ¼ to ? of the tread width on the tire width-direction outer side from the tire equator has the largest number of inclined grooves included per a single pitch of the tread pattern, and the depth of the inclined grooves is greater than the thickness of the side rubber in at least a part of the region.

  • Patent number: 6155380
    Abstract: Grease fed from a grease tank 10 to a metering force feeder 22 is fed into an injection cylinder 30 after the weight of the grease is precisely measured, and the total amount of the grease in the injection cylinder 30 is injected from the nozzle 34. The nozzle 34 can advance toward an electric motor 60. When the nozzle 34 advances, a first packing 50 and a second packing 52 provided on a tip-end face 34a closely contact to an outer ring 66a and an inner ring 66b of a bearing 66, respectively. In the condition, when the grease is injected from an injection hole 34b, the grease is pushed into an operation space of rolling elements 66c of the bearing 66. A grease pocket 68 is also filled with the grease.
