  • Patent number: 10890218
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit includes a first shift valve and a second shift valve that are provided in series between a source oil path through which oil whose pressure has been regulated flows and a first clutch oil path and a second clutch oil path. The first shift valve is selectively switchable between a first switching state where a first communicating oil path and the first clutch oil path are communicated and a second switching state where a second communicating oil path and the second clutch oil path are communicated, and the second shift valve is selectively switchable between a third switching state where the source oil path and the first communicating oil path are communicated and a fourth switching state where the source oil path and the second communicating oil path are communicated.

  • Patent number: 10648741
    Abstract: A vehicle heat exchange apparatus, including: a heat exchanger provided rearward of a front bumper formed with an air intake port, and having an air inlet member on a front face of the heat exchanger; and a duct member provided between the front bumper and the heat exchanger, and forming a passage for passing cooling air from the air intake port of the front bumper to the air inlet member of the heat exchanger, wherein the duct member has: a first intake port introducing air from a vehicle front side into the passage through the air intake port provided in the front bumper; a second intake port introducing air from a vehicle lower side into the passage; and an outlet port opened at an end portion of the passage and facing the air inlet member of the heat exchanger.
