  • Publication number: 20060174759
    Abstract: A lubricating structure for a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission. The structure includes an oil path arranged at an outer circumferential side of a clutch valve, and a lubricant oil ejection hole communicating with the outer circumferential side oil path of the clutch valve and formed in the transmission shaft toward the outer circumference of the transmission shaft. In addition, the structure includes a communicating oil path that is also formed in the transmission shaft for communicating between an oil feeding passage communicating with an lubricant oil feeding source and the outer circumferential oil path of the clutch valve. A single orifice is arranged in the communicating oil path, rather than in the lubricant oil ejection hole. This configuration provides for efficient manufacturing and a high degree of freedom in setting of the lubricant oil ejection hole.

  • Publication number: 20060174618
    Abstract: A clutch mechanism for a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission has a hydraulic circuit including a high pressure oil path for feeding working oil from a hydraulic pump to a hydraulic motor and a low pressure oil path for feeding working oil from the hydraulic motor to the hydraulic pump. The clutch mechanism is located between the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor. A clutch valve is arranged on the transmission shaft and is slid by a centrifugal governor to cause the oil paths to be shortened. A cam plate member is arranged on the transmission shaft. A roller is engaged with the cam plate member and is moved outwardly in a diametrical direction by a centrifugal force. A roller bearing member receives a roller pressing force through outward motion of the roller. A pressure plate and shaft of the roller bearing member are separately formed and thereafter integrally formed.

  • Patent number: 7059036
    Abstract: An electronic component mounting apparatus which employs a first air feed device connected to an air passage at one end part of a spline shaft, and a second air feed device connected to the air passage in the vicinity of the other end of the spline shaft. The first and second air feeds function to supply air to the air passage to return an interior thereof to atmospheric pressure. The time required to return the vacuum pressure in the air passage to atmospheric pressure can be shortened by the use of the two separate air feeds.

  • Patent number: 6876761
    Abstract: A calibration jig for a component recognition device and a component recognition calibration method using the jig which can stabilize the mounting accuracy of a component to a to-be-mounted object and improve amount quality. An opening is formed at a to-be-picked up face of the calibration jig. A predetermined position of the calibration jig is recognized on the basis of the contrast between the picked-up face and the opening. The position of the calibration jig can be recognized with higher accuracy, so that a resolution of the component recognition device, etc. can be obtained with a higher degree of accuracy. Mount accuracy of the component to the object is thus stabilized and mount quality is improved.
