| 20110226202 | CAM SHAFT PHASE VARIABLE DEVICE IN ENGINE FOR AUTOMOBILE - A cam shaft phase variable device of an engine in which the attachment angle of a crankshaft and a cam shaft is maintained securely without being shifted by disturbance torque. The device has a drive body of revolution having a tubular section and a guide groove of reducing diameter and rotating relatively to the cam shaft and being driven by a crankshaft, a control body of revolution rotating relatively to the drive body through a rotary operating force imparting means and having the outer circumferential surface supported by the inner circumferential surface of the tubular section, an eccentric circular cam rotating synchronously, a movable member for displacing the guide groove, a cam guide intersecting the central axis perpendicularly and displaced by the eccentric circular cam, and an intermediate body of revolution displacing in the direction intersecting the cam guide perpendicularly while being supported on, and rotating integrally with, the camshaft. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110192365 | CAM SHAFT PHASE VARIABLE DEVICE IN ENGINE FOR AUTOMOBILE - [Problems] To provide an inexpensive cam shaft phase variable device of an engine in which the displacement width of attachment angle between a crankshaft and a camshaft is large and operational sound is silent. | 08-11-2011 |
| 20110186000 | HOLLOW POPPET VALVE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A hollow poppet valve has a stem portion provided at one end thereof with a tip portion; a cap portion; and a flared fillet portion formed between the stem portion and the cap portion, wherein at least a part of the stem portion that connects to the fillet portion is a thin hollow cylindrical member, and the cap member is welded to the fillet portion. The cap member is thin and has an arcuate axial cross section. It is laser-beam welded to the seat-abutment portion formed at the open end of the fillet portion such that a weld bead is formed along the inner periphery of the interface of the mated ends of the members. The weld bead adds an extra weld depth to the weld, which increases the modulus of section of the welded regions of the cap member and the fillet portion and enhances their welding strength. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20110000450 | PHASE CHANGING DEVICE FOR AUTOMOBILE ENGINE - Objects The invention provides a phase changing device for automobile engine capable of preventing an unanticipated change in phase angle between the middle rotor and the camshaft of the device caused by a disturbing torque while preventing frictional wear of the inner circumferential walls of groove guides and avoiding generation of axial thrusts of links of the device. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20100326386 | ENGINE VALVE CONTROLLER - [Problems] To keep a determined phase angle without consuming power once the phase angle is determined. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100313836 | PHASE VARIABLE DEVICE IN CAR ENGINE - The invention provides a phase variable device for use with a car engine, capable of preventing the phase angle of the camshaft from varying relative to the first circular rotational body even if the camshaft is subjected to the reaction of a valve spring, and capable of reducing the impulsive generated in the phase variable device and delivered to the engine.
