Patent number: 10094429Abstract: A limiting mechanism or assembly for a self-adjusting friction clutch to prevent the overadjustment of cam rings caused by a sudden impact to the vehicle. The limiting mechanism connects the cover to the adjustment mechanism using straps that link fixation members together. In one embodiment, a first fixation member comprises a bolt that attaches a bushing, which is placed through a corresponding hole in the cover of the clutch, relative to the pressure plate and a second fixation member comprises a bolt that engages a corresponding hole on the adjusting ring.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: ILLINOIS AUTO TRUCK CO., INC.Inventors: Richard H. Stein, Jordan R. Stein, Cory Anta, Steve Saaf, Vadim Tikhonov

Patent number: 9453539Abstract: A clutch cover assembly is provided whereby accurate wear compensation can be executed. The present clutch cover assembly includes a clutch cover, a pressure plate, a diaphragm spring, an wear-amount detecting mechanism and an wear tracking mechanism. The wear-amount detecting mechanism includes a detection member for detecting the wear-amount of a friction member and a moving member configured to be movable in accordance with the wear-amount of the friction member. The detection member is engaged with the fulcrum rings and detects the wear-amount through the fulcrum rings, while being engaged with the moving member and being configured to be disengaged from the moving member at a predetermined wear-amount.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: EXEDY CorporationInventors: Hirokazu Wakabayashi, Norihiko Tanigawa, Nobuhiko Matsumoto

Patent number: 9385636Abstract: A transport vehicle includes a driving unit, a wheel and a charging system. The charging system includes an electricity-generating tire and a converting unit. The electricity-generating tire has a tire body mounted on the wheel, and a piezoelectricity generating unit disposed at the tire body and configured to output electricity when the piezoelectricity generating unit is subjected to mechanical forces attributed to movement of the tire body on a ground surface. The converting unit operates to convert the electricity outputted by the piezoelectricity generating unit into a form of energy for storage in an energy storing unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: NATIONAL TAIWAN NORMAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Yi-Hsuan Hung, Gao-Yuan Lin, Yu-Xuan Lin, Jian-Hao Chen

Patent number: 8770366Abstract: A clutch unit which has a friction clutch, that includes a pressure plate, which is rotationally fixed to the housing, yet displaceable to a limited extent in the axial direction. The housing can be connected to a counter-pressure disk, and lever elements which are positioned in an annular arrangement and which are disposed between the housing and the pressure plate. The elements are supported on a rolling support carried by the housing and to which pressure can be applied at the radially inner lever tips thereof in order to close the friction clutch.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KGInventors: Klaus Dussel, Goetz Rathke, Dirk Reimnitz

Patent number: 8162120Abstract: A friction clutch for a drive train, the clutch including a pressure plate rotatably fixed and axially displaceable relative to a housing. A disc spring is provided between the housing and the pressure plate to axially act on the pressure plate. An adjusting device is effective between the housing and the disc spring to compensate for friction lining wear of a clutch plate that interacts with the pressure plate when the clutch is operated in the drive train. The disc spring is pivotable relative to an annular support carried by the housing. An axial force is applied to the disc spring in the direction of the support by springs that include a leaf-spring, a sensor spring, and an additional spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.
