Publication number: 20210071726Abstract: A friction plate (11) includes a plate (1A) with a disc shape and a friction material (F1, F2) that is fixed to aside face (1a) of the plate (1A). The friction material (F1, F2) is disposed so that one or both of an inner peripheral side and an outer peripheral side is nonuniform in an inner and outer peripheral direction with respect to a circumferential direction around a center (CT1) of the plate (1A). Thus, there is an increase in the amount of lubrication oil that is fed to a surface of friction material segments (F1, F2) and there is an increase in a separation force in an axial direction between a friction plate (11) and a separator plate or an end plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2018Publication date: March 11, 2021Applicants: AISIN AW CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masaki YOSHIDA, Tomoo ATARASHI, Junji MATSUSHITA, Takuya KOMATSU, Yusuke TAKATSUKA, Kuniyoshi TAKEDA, Kenichi KIZAWA, Yusuke KOJIMA, Keita IMAI, Koichi OKUDA, Atsushi TABATA, Koji HAYASHI, Kazuyuki SHIIBA, Hiromichi KIMURA

Patent number: 10060165Abstract: A door lock device has a high degree of freedom in the disposition of an open link for switching between a locked state and an unlocked state and has low operational resistance when being put into the locked state. When there is a malfunction in which the open link is jammed by the dust and therefore does not move from a lock waiting position to an unlock waiting position even when an unlock action is performed, when an outside handle interlock lever is turned, a sliding-contact tilt guide provided on a support body slides and makes sliding-contact with the open link and forcibly tilts the open link, and as a result, it becomes unnecessary to increase an energizing force of a torsion coil spring as a precaution against such malfunction. This makes it possible to reduce the operational resistance when the door lock device is put into the locked state.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2013Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Atsushi Yamaguchi, Takeshi Tada, Yasuhiko Sono, Masashi Taniyama, Yusuke Kojima, Atsushi Katsurayama, Takashi Nishio, Kazunori Kojima, Masanari Iwata, Yusuke Yamada

Patent number: 9562787Abstract: Travel guidance devices, methods, and programs acquire map data including a road network, a position of a vehicle, and a planned travel route of the vehicle. Based on the acquired information, the devices, methods, and programs determine whether there is a planned entry branch that the vehicle is projected to enter located ahead of the vehicle. When the planned entry branch is ahead of the vehicle, the devices, methods, and programs determine whether there is a no-lane-change zone between the vehicle and the planned entry branch. When the no-lane-change zone is located between the vehicle and the planned entry branch, the devices, methods, and programs set guidance content related to a lane change of the vehicle based on a position of the no-lane-change zone. The devices, methods, and programs generate guidance using the set guidance content and communicate the generated guidance to a user of the travel guidance device.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: AISIN AW CO., LTD.Inventors: Yusuke Kojima, Tomoya Umemura
