Patent number: 9920812Abstract: To prevent response delay and to damp torsional vibration transmitted to a power transmission route. A vibration damper includes a first route R1 provided with a coil spring 43 as an elastic member, and a second route R2 provided with a sun gear 5s as an inertial body formed to be parallel as power transmission routes between an engine 10 to a transmission 20, and by switching the first route R1 and the second route R2 by a first clutch C1 and a second clutch C2, switchover to a state in which an inertial torque acts on the power transmission route by the sun gear 5s and a state in which the inertial torque is not generated is carried out.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tadashi Sekiguchi, Naoyuki Kishimoto, Fusahiro Tsukano, Atsushi Honda

Publication number: 20170261094Abstract: A first valve is disposed in an oil passage through which the engaging pressure generated by a linear solenoid valve is supplied to A second brake. The first valve is closed when the second brake is released, so as to close the oil passage, and is opened when the second brake is engaged, so as to open the oil passage. A second valve is disposed in a lubricating oil passage through which lubricating oil is supplied to the second brake, and communicates with the linear solenoid valve. The second valve is opened when the engaging pressure is supplied from the linear solenoid valve, so as to open the lubricating oil passage, and is closed when no engaging pressure is generated by the linear solenoid valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2017Publication date: September 14, 2017Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Naoyuki KISHIMOTO, Motoki TABUCHI, Hirotsugu YOSHINO

Publication number: 20170045096Abstract: A cam mechanism includes an input member and an output member and a second cam groove is provided on a surface of the output member. The cam mechanism is configured to sandwich a rolling element accommodated in the second cam groove. The second cam groove has; a first region provided such that an inclination angle, relative to a rotary surface, of a bottom face of the second cam groove on which the rolling element makes rolling contact at the time when a phase difference is not more than a predetermined amount, is increased; and a second region provided such that the inclination angle, relative to the rotary surface, of that bottom face of the second cam groove with which the rolling element makes rolling contact at the time when the phase difference is more than the predetermined amount, is smaller than a largest inclination angle in the first region.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2015Publication date: February 16, 2017Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Naoyuki KISHIMOTO, Atsushi HONDA, Fusahiro TSUKANO, Hirotsugu YOSHINO

Publication number: 20160279518Abstract: A terminal performs a process that places a plurality of objects and a special object that affects the progress of a game in a placement area, selection of an object among the plurality of objects being received based on input information input by the player, a process that generates the special effect of the special object, and a process that sets a game medium that has been selected based on the input information input by the player to a deck prior to start of the game. The terminal performs a process that reduces the special effect based on information about the game medium set to the deck.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2016Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventors: Masataka SHIMONO, Naoyuki KISHIMOTO

Publication number: 20160265628Abstract: An automatic transmission includes a first engagement mechanism selectively engaging a first rotating member to a second rotating member, a second engagement mechanism selectively engaging the first rotating member to a third rotating member, and other engagement mechanisms. At least one of the first or second engagement mechanisms is a dog clutch. The automatic transmission sets intermediate, high and low speed stages by controlling the engagement mechanisms. The first engagement mechanism is kept engaged in shifting from the high speed stage to the intermediate speed stage. The second engagement mechanism is kept engaged in shifting from the low speed stage to the intermediate speed stage. When the automatic transmission sets the intermediate speed stage by controlling the other engagement mechanisms, a rotation speed of the rotating member that is coupled to the first rotating member by the dog clutch coincides with a rotation speed of the first rotating member.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2014Publication date: September 15, 2016Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirotsugu YOSHINO, Atsushi HONDA, Fusahiro TSUKANO, Naoyuki KISHIMOTO

Patent number: 9435397Abstract: The present invention relates to a torsional vibration damping device in which a contact site with an inertial mass can be lubricated effectively while reducing resistance of the inertial mass to oscillate. The vibration damping device includes a rotary member that is rotated by a torque, and an inertial mass that is oscillated by torque pulses. The inertial mass is held in a chamber formed on the rotary member liquid-tightly together with lubrication oil while being allowed to be oscillated by torque pulses in the rotational direction of the rotary member. An amount of the lubrication oil is adjusted in a manner such that the inertial mass will not be brought into contact with an oil film of the lubrication oil centrifugally adhering to a radially outer section of an inner face of the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shingo Aijima, Yu Miyahara, Fusahiro Tsukano, Hiroyuki Amano, Hirotsugu Yoshino, Tadashi Sekiguchi, Syuhei Horita, Naoyuki Kishimoto, Yoshihiro Miyamachi
