  • Patent number: 9631682
    Abstract: A synchronization device for a manual transmission of a vehicle, including a synchronizer ring configured to synchronize rotation of a transmission gear and clutch hub. The synchronizer ring includes: a ring body having an annular shape; an axial protruding portion protruding from the ring body toward the clutch hub in an axial direction to set a size of an axial clearance between the ring body and the clutch hub; and a radial protruding portion protruding from the ring body toward the clutch hub in a radial direction intersecting the axial direction to set a size of a radial clearance to be formed between the ring body and the clutch hub. The ring body, the axial protruding portion, and the radial protruding portion are formed integrally by metal stamping.

  • Patent number: 5183714
    Abstract: A battery casing for attachment on an electric equipment having positive and negative terminal rods. The battery casing comprises positive and negative terminal plates exposed for connection to the respective terminal rods when the battery casing is attached on the electric equipment. The battery casing also includes a shutter mechanism for covering at least one of the terminal plates. The shutter mechanism uncovers the one terminal plate in response to movement of the corresponding one of the terminal rods during the course of attachment of the battery casing on the electric equipment so as to permit the one terminal rod to come into contact with the one terminal plate.
