Abstract:
To prevent positional deviation in a folded back portion of a deployment restriction sheet reliably, an air bag device includes an air bag 1, an inflator 7 for deploying the air bag 1 by supplying the air bag with a generated gas, an air bag case 3 used to attach the inflator 7 and store the air bag 1, a retainer 6 for fixing an opening portion peripheral edge of the air bag 1 to the air bag case 3, and a deployment restriction sheet 11 that covers the air bag 1 from a vehicle body rear side to a vehicle body front side when the air bag 1 is stored. In the deployment restriction sheet 11, a folded back portion 11c is subjected to tacking 11d so as to separate upon application of a predetermined load A, and a rupturable portion 11e that ruptures upon application of a predetermined load B, which is larger than the load A, is provided on a first end 11a side positioned on the vehicle body front side. The first end 11a is attached to an air bag main body. A second end 11b is installed on the air bag main body. As a result, positional deviation of the folded back portion does not occur, and a cushioning effect can be applied to an occupant effectively.

Abstract:
An oscillating internally meshing planetary gear system is provided in order to improve basic performance and reduce cost at the same time. The oscillating internally meshing planetary gear system has an internal gear and external gears internally meshing with the internal gear and is configured such that one of the external gears and the internal gear is oscillatingly rotated by means of eccentric bodies formed in an input shaft (eccentric body shaft). The system includes: a sliding motion-facilitating member intervening between an outer periphery of the eccentric body and the oscillating gear; and an eccentric body shaft bearing supporting the eccentric body shaft. In addition to this, the eccentric body shaft bearing and the sliding motion-facilitating member have the same configuration.
Abstract:
An adsorbent deterioration determining apparatus can accurately determine a deterioration of an adsorbent in a relatively simple configuration. The adsorbent deterioration determining apparatus determines a deterioration of an adsorbent arranged in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine for purifying exhaust gases. The adsorbent is capable of adsorbing hydrocarbons and moisture in exhaust gases. The adsorbent deterioration determining apparatus comprises a humidity sensor arranged at a location downstream of the adsorbent in the exhaust system for detecting the humidity of exhaust gases, and an ECU for determining a deterioration of the adsorbent in accordance with a detected output of the humidity sensor at the time a predetermined time has elapsed from a start of the internal combustion engine.
Abstract:
An inscribed meshing speed increasing and reduction gear construction in which external teeth (for example, a1 and a2, b1 and b2, and c1 and c2) cut at the same position during processing are not simultaneously meshed with (outer pins 111 of) internal-tooth gear during operation in order to improve the accuracy after completion of assembling even if the gear is cut by a machine of similar processing accuracy. Thereby, (although it seems to be contrary to a conventional idea that said external teeth cut at the same position should be simultaneously meshed with the internal-tooth gear), the actual accuracy after completion of assembling can be improved. In this case, when both the number of teeth (24 in FIG. 1) of external-tooth gears 105a and 105b, and a difference in the number of teeth (4 in FIG. 4) between the external-tooth gear and (outer pins 111) internal-tooth gear, are set to integer times of the number (2 in FIG. 1) of the external-tooth gears, the external teeth of the external-tooth gears and various holes formed in the external-teeth can be all simultaneously (by one setting) cut, and remarkably improving the accuracy of the positional relationship between the external teeth and various holes.

To provide an oscillating internally meshing planetary gear reducer capable of realizing a low cost and a high speed reduction ratio, the oscillating internally meshing type planetary gear reducer is constituted so as to include: an input shaft provided with an input gear which is circumscribed and meshed with a pinion provided on a motor; an input shaft gear formed on the input shaft; a plurality of eccentric body shafts each provided with an eccentric body for oscillating an oscillating external gear; an eccentric body shaft gear which is formed on each eccentric body shaft; and a distributing gear which is meshed with the input shaft gear and the eccentric body shaft gear.
Abstract:
A reduction gear for forming a geared motor having a motor and a reduction gear is provided. The reduction gear for a geared motor includes an intermediate orthogonal gear head having an orthogonal transfer mechanism for changing a rotational direction of power delivered from the motor into an orthogonal direction and houses the orthogonal transfer mechanism in a separate intermediate casing. The reduction gear further includes a rear stage parallel gear head having a parallel shaft reduction mechanism including an output shaft serving as a final output shaft of the geared motor when the geared motor is formed, the rear stage parallel gear head being capable of directly connecting to a rear stage of the intermediate orthogonal gear head, with the parallel shaft reduction mechanism being housed in a separate rear stage casing.
Abstract:
A drive system includes an output shaft of an engine connected to a sun gear of a planetary gear assembly. An electric motor is connected, via gears, to a carrier rotatably supporting a planetary pinion gear that rotates around the outer circumference of the sun gear while rotating on its axis in engagement with the sun gear. An input shaft of a STEPTRONIC™ transmission is connected to a ring gear that rotates in engagement with the planetary pinion gear. The drive system further includes an engine clutch directly coupling the output shaft of the engine to the ring gear, a ring gear brake that regulates the rotation of the ring gear, and a torque converter clutch and a torque converter for transmitting the driving force of the electric motor to an output shaft of the STEPTRONIC™ transmission.
Abstract:
A planetary reduction mechanism includes a ring member and a planetary rotary member internally meshing with the internal gear, and a pin. The pin extends through the planetary rotary member for preventing orbital motion or rotation of the planetary rotary member, or for taking out an orbital motion component or a rotational component thereof. A continuous groove is formed on an outer circumference of the pin.
Abstract:
A simple planetary gear mechanism is provided with an automatic alignment function to support the planet gear to obtain a speed reducer having reduced backlash by a simple method. A planet gear is supported by a carrier pin that is in turn supported by a carrier. The carrier pin includes a crank portion that is eccentric by “e” relative to the axis center of the carrier pin with the eccentric angle being made variable. The planet gear is supported rotatably about the axis center of the crank portion. Consequently, with the eccentric angle being made variable, the axis center of the planet gear is automatically aligned in the radial direction upon assembly of each gear, thereby making it possible to minimize backlash only by incorporating a sun gear having a proper dimension.
