Abstract: A vane pump 1 has a pump chamber 2A through an axial direction oil supply hole 11a, a diameter direction oil supply hole 11b, and an axial direction oil supply groove 11c of an oil supply passage 11. A gas passage 13 contains a gas groove 13a whose one end is made to communicate with an outer space, the gas groove 13a being formed on an outer peripheral surface of a shaft part 3B of a rotor 3, and the other end of this gas groove is made to intermittently overlappingly communicate with the axial direction oil supply groove 11c by a rotation of the rotor.

Abstract: A vane pump in which a lubricating oil from an oil supply pipe 12 is supplied to a pump chamber 2A through an axial direction oil supply hole 11a of an oil supply passage 11, a diameter direction oil supply hole 11b, and an axial direction oil supply groove 11c. A gas passage 13 includes a diameter direction gas hole 13a and an axial direction gas groove 13b, and the diameter direction gas hole 13a is made to communicate with the axial direction gas groove 13b when the diameter direction oil supply hole 11b is made to communicate with the axial direction oil supply groove 11c.

Abstract: A lubricating oil to be supplied to a vane pump 1 is supplied to a pump chamber 2A through an axial direction oil supply hole 11a, a diameter direction oil supply hole 11b, and an axial direction oil supply groove 11c of an oil supply passage 11. A gas passage 13 is comprised of a gas groove 13a whose one end is made to communicate with an outer space, the gas groove 13a being formed on an outer peripheral surface of a shaft part 3B of a rotor 3, and the other end of this gas groove is made to intermittently overlappingly communicate with the axial direction oil supply groove 11c by a rotation of the rotor. Clogging does not easily occur as compared with a case where the gas passage 13 is comprised of a through-hole as a conventional apparatus since the gas passage is comprised of the groove-shaped gas groove 13a, thus enabling to reduce a passage area of the gas passage.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly which includes a disc rotor, a mounting member having arm portions in which a pair of grooves extending toward the axial direction of the disc rotor are provided therein, a pair of brake pads disposed to both sides of the disc rotor, at least one of the brake pads having a pair of ear portions which are outwardly projected in the rotational direction of the disc rotor and which are fitted into the grooves of the mounting member so as to be slidably supported on the mounting member, a caliper member slidably supported on the mounting member so as to be movable in an axial direction of the disc rotor and pressing each of the brake pads against faces of the disc rotor, respectively and pad clips engaged with the arm portions of the mounting member so as to cover faces of the grooves and being provided with a first elastic member which is formed on the pad clip in a body and which always outwardly urges the brake pad with a low load in the diametrical direction of the disc rotor through the

Abstract: A brake pressure control system for a wheeled vehicle includes a swingable lever pivotally mounted at a first end portion thereof to a sprung mass of the vehicle such as a body frame, a first tension coil spring connected at a first end thereof to the sprung mass and at a second end thereof to a second end portion of the swingable lever to bias the lever toward the sprung mass, a second tension coil spring connected at a first end thereof to an unsprung mass of the vehicle such as a wheel axle and at a second end thereof to the second end portion of the swingable lever to bias the lever against the biasing force of the first spring, a bushing rotatably mounted on the second end portion of the swingable lever, the bushing being formed with a first support portion for retaining the second end of the first spring and a second support portion for retaining the second end of the second spring, and a modulator valve secured to the sprung mass and incorporated in a hydraulic connection between a master cylinder and
