Publication number: 20140312543Abstract: Provided is a silencer for a laminated leaf spring, with which it is possible to more effectively reduce abnormal noise generated in conjunction with deflection of the laminated leaf spring, as compared to when a conventional silencer for a laminated leaf spring is used. This silencer (1) for a laminated leaf spring is arranged between adjacent leaf springs (60a-60c) in the direction in which the multiple leaf springs (60a-60c) forming a laminated leaf spring (6) are stacked. A thermoplastic elastomer that has lower hardness than thermoplastic synthetic resins such as polyethylene resin, polyacetal resin, polyamide resin, and polyester resin, and that has a better sliding characteristic than rubber materials such as natural rubber and synthetic rubber, is used for the material of the silencer (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2012Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: Noboru Nakagawa, Takashi Horiguchi

Patent number: 8544577Abstract: A hybrid vehicle comprises an engine 2, a motor generator 4, a torque converter 6 with a lock-up clutch 5, and a ratio-change mechanism 7. A control system for the hybrid vehicle comprises a rotational sensor 22, which detects the slip ratio of the torque converter, and a hydraulic control valve 12, which controls the engagement of the lock-up clutch. While the vehicle is moving along with the accelerator pedal being released from its stepped down condition, a driving force from the wheels is transmitted to the motor generator 4 for energy regeneration. If the slip ratio of the torque converter is equal to or smaller than a first threshold value, then only the lock-up clutch is controlled into engagement. However, if the slip ratio is between the first threshold value and a second threshold value, then additionally the motor generator is controlled in cooperative operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., LtdInventors: Kazuhiko Kitano, Masachika Kimura, Yasuhiro Ijichi, Yutaka Ishikawa, Takashi Horiguchi
