  • Patent number: 7918311
    Abstract: A muffling chamber is located between a first main body wall and a second main body wall with respect to a height direction. An outflow pipe includes: a first opening that connects an outflow passage with a muffling chamber in the vicinity of a first main body wall; and a second opening that connects the outflow passage with the muffling chamber in the vicinity of a second main body wall. The liquid staying on the first main body wall of a first muffler flows into the outflow passage through the first opening. The liquid staying on a second main body wall of a second muffler flows into the outflow passage through a second opening. Therefore, the symmetry of the first muffler and the second muffler is compatible with anti-corrosion.

  • Publication number: 20100126799
    Abstract: A muffling chamber (5) is located between a first main body wall (42A) and a second main body wall (42B) with respect to a height direction (AE). An outflow pipe (8) has: a first opening (8A) that connects an outflow passage (8R) with a muffling chamber (5) in the vicinity of a first main body wall (42A); and a second opening (8C) that connects the outflow passage (8R) with the muffling chamber (5) in the vicinity of a second main body wall (42B). The liquid staying on the first main body wall (42A) of a first muffler (4A) flows into the outflow passage (8R) through the first opening (8A). The liquid staying on a second main body wall (42B) of a second muffler (4B) flows into the outflow passage (8R) through a second opening (8C). Therefore, the symmetry of the first muffler (4A) and the second muffler (4B) is compatible with anti-corrosion.

  • Patent number: 7334404
    Abstract: There is provided a pump unit including a housing, a first and a second pump shafts, a first and a second hydraulic pump main bodies, a first and a second trunnion type movable swash pates, and a first and a second transmission gears. The housing has an inlet port for introducing oil from the outside into its pump accommodating chamber, an oil passage for communicating between the pump accommodating chamber and its gear accommodating chamber, and a discharge port for taking out oil from the gear accommodating chamber to the outside. The pump accommodating chamber includes a supporting wall that supports each base end of the swash plates so that each operational end of the swash plates is directed to the opposite directions to each other. The inlet port and the oil passage are respectively provided at one side and the other side of the pump accommodating chamber with the supporting wall as a reference.
