Abstract: A piston is slidably provided in a cylinder and partitions a first pump chamber, and a second pump chamber connected to an object to be operated. A first on-off valve is provided between the first pump chamber and the outside. A second on-off valve is provided in a connecting flow passage that connects the first pump chamber and the second pump chamber to each other. When the piston is moved forward by an electromagnetic force of a solenoid portion, a capacity of the first pump chamber decreases, and a capacity of the second pump chamber increases. When the piston is moved backward by a biasing force of a spring, the capacity of the first pump chamber increases, and the capacity of the second pump chamber decreases. A pressure receiving area of the front face of the piston is larger than that of the back face thereof.

Abstract: A control device controlling a vehicle's automatic transmission. The automatic transmission engages first and second friction engagement elements by fluid pressure from a pump operating using motive power from the vehicle's motor when a shift position is at a reverse traveling position, places the first friction engagement element on standby at a predetermined pressure that is higher than a stroke starting pressure by which a piston stroke is started and lower than a complete engagement pressure or engages the first friction engagement at the complete engagement pressure when the shift position is at a non-traveling position, and engages a third friction engagement element as a starting shift speed when the shift position is at a forward traveling position.

Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control apparatus for a lockup clutch of a fluid transmission device. In a spool of the lockup relay valve, switching to a position on an engaging side (right half position) for engaging a lockup clutch is achieved by a signal pressure being input from a linear solenoid valve to a hydraulic oil chamber, and switching to a position on a releasing side (left half position) for releasing the lockup clutch is achieved by an urging member such as a spring force of a spring. Since the response is low with the switching by the spring force, the state of a vehicle is sensed by a sensor and, if quick release of the lockup clutch is necessary, a signal pressure from a solenoid valve is input to a hydraulic oil chamber to apply the spring force, and assists with a hydraulic pressure, thereby switching the spool to the releasing side. Accordingly, the response when the lockup relay valve is switched from the engaging side to the releasing side is enhanced.

Abstract: A hydraulic control apparatus of an automatic transmission including a switching portion which, at the same time as a reverse range pressure oil passage and a discharge delay oil passage which delays an oil pressure output are connected, causes the reverse range pressure oil passage and discharge delay oil passage, by switching between the two, in order to communicate with a hydraulic servo. The switching portion causes the hydraulic servo and discharge delay oil passage to communicate when a manual valve is switched to an N range, and causes the hydraulic servo and reverse range pressure oil passage to communicate when the manual valve (MV) is switched to a D range or an R range. Because of this arrangement, it is difficult for oil, when discharged from the hydraulic servo, to drain at an R-N switching time, and it is easy for oil to drain in the D range or the like.
