Abstract: Provided are a work heating device which is capable of heating a work piece with high soaking properties as well as fine temperature control and which remains highly reliable over a long-term use by preventing the deformation or the like of a chuck member, and a work treating device that uses the work heating device. The work heating device is a work heating device in which the chuck member including a work attraction electrode for work attraction and a heater member including a heating element for work heating are layered, and which is capable of heating with the heater member the work piece stuck by attraction on the chuck member side, in which the heater member includes a chuck attraction electrode for causing the chuck member to stick by attraction, between a surface of the heater member that is opposed to the chuck member and the heating element, so that the chuck member and the heater member are layered detachably.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission including a driving pulley, a driven pulley, an endless dry-type belt wound around both pulleys, a tension-adjusting device for pressing the slack side of the belt to generate belt tension, stroke mechanisms provided on both pulleys for axially shifting the movable sheaves, a ratio-changing motor, and a gear mechanism for transmitting the rotational force generated by the motor to both stroke mechanisms in such a way that the movable sheaves of both pulleys can be shifted synchronously and axially oppositely in relation to the fixed sheaves. With this arrangement, the belt is prevented from slipping, the transmission ratio can be controlled precisely and stably, and the shift-response of this transmission can be improved. The motor can be reduced both in its size and its consumption of electric power.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission having an endless V belt running across a driving pulley and a driven pulley, a transmission ratio changing mechanism for changing the running diameters of the belt around the pulleys radially in opposite directions to each other, and a tension-adjusting unit for pressing the belt to obtain belt tension. The tension-adjusting unit includes a tension roller coming into pressure contact with the slack side of the belt from outside, a swing arm having an end rotatably supported on a transmission case, a link member having an end rotatably supporting a shaft of the tension roller and another end rotatably coupled with another end of the swing arm, and an urging member for swingingly urging the swing arm so that the tension roller presses the belt. A linkage structure having two degrees of freedom is used for supporting the tension roller, so that the tension roller can automatically move to a position where it does not interfere with either pulley at any transmission ratio.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission comprises a driving pulley (11), a driven pulley (21), an endless dry-type belt (15) wound around both pulleys, a tension-adjusting device (50) arranged between the driving and driven pulleys for pressing the slack side of the belt to generate belt tension, stroke mechanisms (14, 22) provided on the driving and driven pulleys respectively for axially shifting the movable sheaves depending on inputted rotational force, a ratio-changing motor (40), and a gear mechanism for transmitting the rotational force generated by the motor to both stroke mechanisms as well as for mechanically connecting both stroke mechanisms in such a way that the movable sheaves of both pulleys can be shifted synchronously and axially oppositely in relation to the fixed sheaves. With this arrangement, the belt is prevented from slipping, the transmission ratio can be controlled precisely and stably, and the shift-response of this transmission can be improved.
