Patent number: 7980204Abstract: A reserve tank includes a tank body for storing coolant, an inflow portion for allowing the coolant to flow into the tank body, a guide portion, and an outflow portion for allowing the coolant to flow out of the tank body. The guide portion is disposed above the inflow portion and below a liquid level of the coolant in the tank body. Furthermore, the guide portion is adapted to guide a flow of the coolant flowing thereinto from the inflow portion and directed upward, substantially in a horizontal direction or downward with respect to the horizontal direction. Therefore, the reserve tank can restrict air from being trapped in coolant.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2008Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignees: Denso Corporation, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroyuki Okumura, Toshirou Matsubara, Hiroaki Nakano, Tadashi Akiyama, Yasuji Nishi, Shinji Miyawaki

Patent number: 7922004Abstract: A diesel filter includes a filter member and a water reservoir formed below the filter member. The filter member has a case, a cap for closing the opening of the case, an element, and an element-holding member for holding an upper part of the element, and is detachably housed in the case. The element-holding member has an opening that allows fuel to flow out, and the fuel introduced from a fuel inlet port to a portion above the element-holding member is then introduced to the water reservoir via a passage formed between the inner peripheral surface of the case and the outer peripheral surface of the element.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2006Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignees: Kyosan Denki Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshiharu Matsushita, Suminobu Otsubo, Yasuji Nishi, Satoshi Nagata

Patent number: 7906022Abstract: A diesel filter includes a case, a cap for closing the opening of the case, an element housed in the case, and an attachment member having a holding portion and a bracket. The attachment member and the cap hold the case therebetween. The bracket is provided to fix the diesel filter to a predetermined portion. The cap can be detached in a state where the attachment member is fixed to the predetermined portion by the bracket, so that the element can be replaced in the same state.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignees: Kyosan Denki Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshiharu Matsushita, Suminobu Otsubo, Yasuji Nishi, Satoshi Nagata

Patent number: 7370518Abstract: To realize a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine having a heating resistor type air flow rate measuring apparatus which can effectively remove salinity adhered to the heating resistor. Salt adheres not only to the heating portion of a heating resistor but also to lead members and supporting members. When a certain time period is passed after the current supply to the heating resistor is stopped, the salt adhered thereto absorbs moisture in the air by deliquescence, and becomes salt water near the heating resistor and the support members etc. Then, suction air flows through an auxiliary air passage by the cranking of the engine to disperse the salt water adhered not only to the support member parts but also to the heating resistor. Thus, even if the heating resistor is supplied with current after the dissipation, salt components do not remain on the heating resistor.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2004Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Car Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Morino, Chihiro Kobayashi, Shinya Igarashi, Kiichi Otaka, Yasuji Nishi, Yasunobu Kojima

Patent number: 4723529Abstract: An oil sparator for a blowby gas ventilation system of an internal combustion engine which includes a cylinder head cover, a baffle plate, a blowby gas path formed between the cylinder head cover and the baffle plate, and a filter provided in the blowby gas path. A groove is formed in the baffle plate and extends along the filter over the entire width of a top wall of the baffle plate. The filtered oil collects in the groove and does not appear on the upper surface of the top wall of the baffle plate. Therefore, the collected oil in the groove does not flow through the filter together with the blowby gas. As a result, oil consumption is decreased and oil blow-out through a blowby gas outlet is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 1986Date of Patent: February 9, 1988Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tatsuhisa Yokoi, Yasuji Nishi, Eisaku Takeya
