  • Patent number: 11913524
    Abstract: Provided is a toroidal continuously variable transmission that can create a jet of oil resistant to the influence of wind generated by rotation of a power roller, thereby feeding a sufficient amount of oil to the power roller to cool the power roller with the oil; and a drive mechanism-integrated electricity generation apparatus for an aircraft, the electricity generation apparatus including the toroidal continuously variable transmission. The toroidal continuously variable transmission includes a discharge structure including an outlet that discharges an oil. The discharge structure includes first and second oil passages connected with each other inside the discharge structure, and arranged such that the oil flowing through the first oil passage and the second oil passage collide with each other in the vicinity of the outlet and that a jet of oil discharged from the outlet forms a flattened shape extending along a rotational direction of the power roller.

  • Patent number: 11668358
    Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle disc brake for which incorrect installation of a friction pad can be prevented with a simple structure. The disc brake is provided with incorrect installation-preventing parts with which, if a friction pad (4) is installed with an incorrect installation orientation when a pair of tabs (10, 11) provided on the disc entry-side and disc exit-side of the back plate (4d) of a friction pad (4) is installed into pad guide grooves (9) formed on a caliper body (3), the tabs bump into the caliper body (3) and prevent the incorrect installation. The incorrect installation-preventing parts are formed from caliper-side recesses (9d, 9e), which are formed in the pad guide grooves (9) towards the center of the caliper body, and tab-side protrusions (10a, 11a), which have shapes that correspond to the caliper-side recesses (9d, 9e).

  • Patent number: 10500897
    Abstract: A front wheel caliper bracket for supporting an axle is provided in a lower end portion of a front fork. A wheel speed sensor is mounted on the bracket. The wheel speed sensor includes a fixing section and a sensor section, and is mounted on a sensor mounting section of the bracket by a bolt. The sensor mounting section is integrally formed with a rotation regulating portion in a projecting fashion. When fastened by the bolt, a lateral part of the rotating wheel speed sensor comes into contact with the rotation regulating portion to regulate the rotation of the wheel speed sensor, so that the stress from the rotation regulating portion is not exerted directly on the sensor section.
