Patent number: 11283100Abstract: A battery device includes: an exterior body having two outer side walls; a battery cell group configured by stacking battery cells each having an electrode terminal; temperature control medium flow paths provided inside the outer side walls; and a holding mechanism applying a pressure on the battery cell group in a direction of pressing the battery cell group toward the outer side wall, and holding the battery cell group. The battery cell has the electrode terminal on the upper portion. The battery cell group has a convex part protruding toward the outer side wall on a lower portion. An inner surface of the outer side wall has a concave part along the length direction of the exterior body at a lower position than the temperature control medium flow path. The battery cell group is held by the holding mechanism through engagement of the convex part and the concave part.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kyosuke Miyoshi, Yoshiatsu Asai

Patent number: 10422354Abstract: A hydraulic accumulator includes a limiting portion that is fitted into a ring end gap of a snap ring to limit a decrease in a diameter of the snap ring. The snap ring is stamped from a metal sheet by a press machine. Therefore, one of two opposed surfaces of a portion of the snap ring, which is fitted into a groove, forms a sloped surface as a result of shear droop. The limiting portion is fitted into the ring end gap of the snap ring to limit the decrease in the diameter of the snap ring. Thus, it is possible to limit riding of the sloped surface of the snap ring on a corner of the groove, and thereby it is possible to limit removal of the snap ring from the groove.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignees: DENSO CORPORATION, HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Kyohei Takahashi, Tatsuya Kitanaka, Itsuki Shimazaki, Shunsuke Yoshida, Yoshiatsu Asai

Patent number: 8893582Abstract: A bearing locking mechanism capable of surely preventing dropping of a bearing, without increasing size of a transmission, is provided. In a bearing locking mechanism in which a bearing G3c of a rotating body G3b axially supported by a transmission case 7 rotationally is prevented from dropping from the transmission case 7, a transmission 1 is equipped with a brake B1 provided so as to be adjacent to the bearing G3c, the brake B1 is equipped with a fixing member B1a to be fixed to the transmission case 7, and the bearing G3c is prevented from dropping from the transmission case 7 by the fixing member B1a engaging with a side surface in an axial direction of the bearing G3c.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shin Fukasawa, Hisayuki Asada, Yoshiatsu Asai, Mitsuhiro Takeda
