  • Patent number: 8714656
    Abstract: There are provided an axle housing, a rotational shaft provided to axially extend in a spindle of the axle housing, a wheel mounting cylinder which is mounted on an outer peripheral side of the spindle through wheel support bearings and to which wheels are mounted, and a planetary gear reduction mechanism for decelerating rotation of the rotational shaft, which is transmitted to the wheel mounting cylinder. A carrier forming a part of the planetary gear reduction mechanism is mounted in a non-rotating state on an open end side of the spindle. A cylindrical coupling member is provided between the spindle and the carrier, and provided with an axial one side outer periphery splined-coupled to an open end inner peripheral side of the spindle and an axial other side outer periphery spline-coupled to an inner peripheral side of the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20130056289
    Abstract: A wheel mounting cylinder (18) is rotatably provided on an outer peripheral side of an axle housing (12) through wheel support bearings (20, 21). A wet brake (45) is provided between the axle housing (12) and the wheel mounting cylinder (18) for applying a braking force to rotation of the wheel mounting cylinder (18). A seal mechanism (55) is provided between the wet brake (45) and the wheel support bearing (20) for keeping a cooling liquid (50) of the wet brake (45) in a sealed state to lubricant oil (100) in the wheel mounting cylinder (18). A foreign-object trapping portion (58, 62) is provided between the wheel support bearing (20) and the seal mechanism (55) for trapping foreign objects flowing from the seal mechanism (55) toward the wheel support bearing (20).

  • Publication number: 20110200282
    Abstract: A wheel drive motor (18) is disposed at the inner peripheral side of a spindle (15) for a wheel (12), and rotation of a shaft (19) connected to a rotational shaft (18B) of the wheel drive motor is decelerated by a reduction gear (20). An axial intermediate portion (19A) of the shaft (19) is supported by a shaft bearing (44) provided between a sleeve (41) and a retainer (42). On the other hand, a spindle side oil supplying passage (48) is provided in the top portion of the spindle (15) and a retainer side oil supplying passage (49) is provided in the retainer (42). At rotation of the wheel (12), lubricant oil (G) scattered on the upper surface of the spindle (15) is supplied to the shaft bearing (44) through the spindle side oil supplying passage (48) and the retainer side oil supplying passage (49).

  • Patent number: 6618275
    Abstract: An engine-driven portable generator using an inverter may still generate a voltage at its output terminals even though the engine is stopped. In view of this problem, the invention is to provide a portable generator, which is intended to prevent any residual voltage from generating between the output terminals. That is, a portable generator rectifying once an AC voltage into a DC voltage, converting the DC voltage into a single-phase AC voltage, and outputting the single-phase AC voltage, which has an output-stop-control unit (443) that, when an operating switch (305) is turned off, stops the operation of the inverter circuit at the timing when the voltage between the output terminals drops to 0, is provided.

  • Patent number: 5334272
    Abstract: An easily openable container comprises (a) a multilayer container body which includes an innermost layer and an adjacent layer contacting the innermost layer, a recessed portion and a flange and (b) a lid member melt sealed to the innermost layer of the multilayer container body at the flange, where the innermost layer and the adjacent layer are peelable from each other and having between them a peel strength smaller than the peel strength between the lid member and the innermost layer. The flange has two circular notches made in the innermost layer, and the multilayer container body and the lid member are melt sealed between the two circular notches, with the proviso that a portion of the melt sealed area projects outwardly from the outer circular notch, and a depression is made in the innermost layer at the outermost edge of the projecting portion of the melt sealed area by pressing the innermost layer through the lid member.
