Patent number: 7621834Abstract: A transmission mechanism obtains reduced cost by facilitating a process for guide grooves formed on an inner cylinder of a ball spline mechanism and regulates a movement of a drive sprocket in an axial direction by means of a simple structure. A one-way clutch transmits torque only when a crankshaft rotates positively to a drive sprocket through a ball spline mechanism. A clutch outer body and an inner slide member of the ball spline mechanism are composed of members separate from and coupled to each other by coupling pins to be integrally rotatable in an overlapping portions in an axial direction. Guide grooves for housing balls of the ball spline mechanism are formed on the inner slide member while opening to the axial direction at both ends thereof in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2005Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kaga, Tatsuro Kimura

Patent number: 7520831Abstract: A gear-shifting apparatus is provided which does not require a position of a chain to be set with high precision, and which reduces a risk of the chain coming off an adjacent sprocket due to a quick gear shifting operation. The gear shifting system includes a derailer for changing the chain from one sprocket to another among a plurality of axially-arranged gear shifting sprockets, and a case for containing the gear shifting sprockets and the chain. The case is provided with a protruding part for preventing the chain from moving axially outwardly at an area too close to the case. The protruding part effectively prevents the chain from coming off from the adjacent sprocket by means of contact of the protruding part with the chain.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2005Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kaga, Tatsuro Kimura

Patent number: 7503862Abstract: A transmission includes a ball spline mechanism having an outer member which can rotate integrally with an inner member by means of balls housed in guide grooves and which can move in the axial direction; and a derailer which shifts a chain wrapped around a first sprocket moving integrally with the outer member from one transmission sprocket to another among a plurality of operating sprockets. The inner member and the outer member include guide surfaces through which the outer member is guided to move in the axial direction through the balls. The outer member is provided with a dust cover for covering the guide surfaces, regardless of the axial position of the first sprocket.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kaga, Tatsuro Kimura

Patent number: 6886934Abstract: Eyeglasses having temples pivotally attached to an eyewear front and which include an elongate body having a front end connected to the eyewear front and an inner surface adapted to be positioned against a head of a wearer. The elongate body has a notch formed at least partially between the inner and outer surfaces and opening at a rear to the outer surface to form a thinned wall section between the notch and inner surface and a rearwardly facing projection between the notch and outer surface. The thinned wall section has a smaller cross-section than a remaining portion of said elongate body and providing outward flexibility to said temple. The projection has a rearwardly facing tip and is spaced from the notch to thereby define a gap adapted to receive an object to enable the temple to be clipped to a shirt pocket.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2003Date of Patent: May 3, 2005Assignee: Innoventions Enterprises Ltd.Inventors: Steven Asman, Tatsuro Kimura, Carey Gordon

Patent number: 6247439Abstract: To provide a starter for an internal combustion engine which is capable of reducing a press-fit amount of a press-fit portion of a torque absorbing mechanism of a rotation transmitting means for transmitting the rotation of a kick shaft to a crank shaft, thereby enhancing the durability of the starter and making the starter compact. A kick-type starter for an internal combustion engine includes a rotation transmitting mechanism (a kick drive gear, a boss having a ratchet portion, a pinion gear, and an idler gear) for transmitting the rotation of a kick shaft to a crank shaft. The rotation transmitting mechanism is provided with a torque absorbing mechanism for absorbing an excessive torque due to an excessive input from the kick shaft. The torque absorbing mechanism is provided on the kick shaft, and includes a gear set composed of the boss having the ratchet and the pinion gear which are press-fitted to each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1999Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshitsugu Gokan, Kazumitsu Yamamoto, Nobuaki Inumaru, Tatsuro Kimura
