  • Patent number: 10837541
    Abstract: Provided is a lubricant guiding structure in an automatic transmission in which a baffle plate configured to regulate the movement of a lubricant agitated by a driven sprocket is provided at one side, where an oil pump is located, in the direction of a rotational axis of the driven sprocket. As viewed from the rotational axis direction, a division wall disposed to extend across a chain is provided closer to the chain than a base of the baffle plate. As viewed from the rotational axis direction, the baffle plate is provided with a guide wall extending along a torque transmission-side chain of the chain wound on the driven sprocket. As viewed from the rotational axis-direction, the guide wall includes an inclined portion inclined in the direction coming closer to the chain as the distance to the distal end side decreases.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5822986
    Abstract: An exhaust system for an engine having at least four exhaust ports firing in sequential order. The exhaust system includes an exhaust manifold having two collector sections which extend in substantial part in parallel side-by-side relationship to provide a compact construction. Each collector section is served by a pair of branch portions that communicate with respective cylinders where the cylinders collected firing at least 270 degrees from each other to minimize the effect of the exhaust pulses from one cylinder on the other cylinders.
