  • Patent number: 9080653
    Abstract: A drive cam is rotated about a camshaft member upon application a drive torque of a drive source to the drive cam. A transmission device converts rotational motion of the drive cam into linear reciprocating motion and transmits the converted linear reciprocating motion to a control shaft member. The control shaft member is connected to a controlled subject and is linearly reciprocated together with the transmission device in an axial direction. A reverse input cutoff clutch transmits the drive torque, which is received from the drive source, to the drive cam. The reverse input cutoff clutch non-rotatably locks an output shaft of the drive source in response to a reverser input torque transmitted from the controlled subject through the drive cam.

  • Publication number: 20140116197
    Abstract: A driving device has a driving cam driven by a motor around a cam shaft, a roller which is in contact with the driving cam, a supporting frame, and a control shaft. The driving cam has a pocket portion. At the pocket portion, a profile distance from a center increases or decreases when the driving cam rotates in a normal direction or a reverse direction. When the pocket portion is in contact with the roller and the motor is stopped, the rotational force of the driving cam becomes zero. The rotational position of the driving cam and the axial position of the control shaft are held at a constant position. Thereby, the rotary place of the driving cam and the axial position of the control shaft component can be held in a fixed position.

  • Patent number: 7297282
    Abstract: The invention provides a drain mechanism of a fluid filter in which a heated fluid is not splashed on a worker at a time of discharging the fluid such as a time of exchanging an element, and can inhibit dusts or the like from being mixed from an external portion at a time of normal use. A drain mechanism 7 of the present invention is provided with a cap 3 engaged with a case 2 and having a drain hole 15, a drain member (a drain plug 20) detachably mounted to the cap from an outer side thereof and closing the drain hole, a valve member 25 provided in an inner side of the cap and closing the drain hole, and an elastic means (a spring 11) for energizing the valve member in a direction of closing the drain hole. In a state in which the drain member is detached from the cap, a residual fluid within a housing is discharged by a tubular draining jig 30 inserted to the drain hole.

  • Patent number: 7150828
    Abstract: A drain structure for a fluid filter includes a cap internally forming a drain hole. The cap receives a valve member urged by an urging means in a direction, in which the valve member blocks the drain hole. Normally, the drain hole is blocked with a drain member. When fluid is drained from the drain hole, the drain member is removed from the drain hole, and a drain tool is inserted into the drain hole, so that the drain tool displaces the valve member in a direction, in which the drain hole is unblocked. The drain tool has a hooking portion that can hook to a hooked portion provided to the cap by axially rotating the drain tool inserted into the drain hole of the cap. Thus, the drain tool can be connected with the cap while the hooking portion is supported by the hooked portion.

  • Patent number: 7141166
    Abstract: An oil filter has a drain hole, which is internally blocked with a valve member. When oil remaining in the oil filter is drained, a drainpipe is inserted into the drain hole, so that the valve member is displaced and remaining oil is drained from the drain hole. This valve member has an annular recession to steadily support an upper end of the inserted drainpipe. Therefore, gripping force of the drainpipe is enhanced without decreasing draining performance. The drainpipe and the oil filter are connected with each other via a seal member that is provided to the oil filter. The drainpipe 80 has a removing means that holds at least a part of the seal member to pick the seal member off the oil filter, when the inserted drainpipe is detached from the drain hole. Thus, the seal member can be removed simultaneously with the drainpipe from the oil filter.
