  • Patent number: 10830285
    Abstract: A pressure plate of a clutch device includes a clutch outer member for supporting friction discs, and a clutch center member for supporting clutch discs. The pressure plate has a deep hole portion for accommodating a clutch spring acting between the pressure plate and the clutch center member; and a through hole at a center thereof extending between an inside and an outside of the clutch device in a clutch axis direction. Oil is supplied from the outside into the through hole. The pressure plate has a radial passage extending in a radially outward direction from the through hole at an axially inner end portion of the through hole to make the inside and outside of the through hole communicate with each other. An annular rib is formed on a peripheral surface of an outer end portion of the through hole extending toward the center of the through hole.

  • Patent number: 8291878
    Abstract: A 4-stroke cycle internal combustion engine includes a breather chamber for separating blow-by gas and oil mist produced in the internal combustion engine. A vehicle-carried 4-stroke cycle internal combustion engine includes a valve chamber wherein a valve motion is accommodated between a cylinder head and a head cover, a cam chain chamber formed from the cylinder head and the cylinder head cover for accommodating a cam chain, a driven sprocket wheel around which the cam chain is wrapped, and a breather chamber formed between an upper portion of the head cover and the valve chamber. A barrier is formed in an arcuate shape opposing to and extending along an outer circumference of the driven sprocket wheel. The barrier is provided sidewardly of the driven sprocket wheel on the breather chamber side.
