| 20100047686 | ELECTRODE STRUCTURE AND BATTERY DEVICE MANUFACTURING METHOD - An electrode is provided with a metal terminal extending from a battery module main body, a bolt which has an expanded section configuring a retaining section at a rear end portion and penetrates the metal terminal upward, and an insulating body which insulates the metal terminal and the battery module case one from the other. The insulating body is provided with a drop preventing section which abuts at least a lower surface of the expanded section of the bolt and prevents the bolt from dropping from the metal terminal. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100203371 | BATTERY - A battery ( | 08-12-2010 |
| 20110039154 | BATTERY - A battery is equipped with a case ( | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110092111 | ELECTRODE STRUCTURE - An electrode structure for connecting a battery module to a bus bar is provided. When a bolt is in advance passed through and temporarily fixed to a metal terminal to be connected to a bus bar, the metal terminal is fixed on a lid, and the lid is attached to a body of a battery module, there was a problem that metal powder generated by the friction between the metal terminal and the bolt intrudes into the battery. A solution to the problem is provided by an electrode structure including a metal terminal having a base and a tip end, the base fixed to a body of a battery module, the tip end spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the body of the battery module and connected to a bus bar, a nut arranged between the tip end of the metal terminal and the body of the battery module, a rotation stopper in abutment with the nut and preventing the nut from slipping when fastening the bus bar, and a screw shaft screwed into the nut and penetrating through the tip end of the metal terminal and the bus bar. | 04-21-2011 |

| 20090211215 | Grass Collecting Apparatus for Lawn Mower - A grass collecting apparatus for a lawn mower comprises a frame ( | 08-27-2009 |
| 20090260339 | Grass Collector for a Mower - A grass collector adapted to be attached to a rear of a riding-type mower for receiving cut grass from a mower unit through a duct, the grass collector including a front container section having a rearwardly facing opening and adapted to be attached to the riding-type mower, the front container section carrying a first bottom plate having a substantially horizontal position. A rear container section is supported pivotably about a pivot point located in a rear upper region of the front container section and pivotable between a first position wherein the rear container section substantially covers the opening of the front container section and a second position pivoted from the first position to allow cut grass to fall, the rear container section having a second bottom plate having a substantially horizontal position. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100031620 | Riding Type Mower - A riding type mower includes: a vehicle body, a driver's seat mounted on the vehicle body; an operation part arranged around the driver's seat; a mower unit provided on the vehicle body; a shutter for closing a discharge port; a shutter moving mechanism for moving the shutter between a close position closing the discharge port and an open position opening the discharge port; and a lock mechanism for locking the shutter at the close position. The mower unit includes: a mower deck; a cutting blade installed inside the mower deck; the discharge port formed in the mower deck, through which mown grass cut by the blade is discharge from the mower unit to outside. A shutter operating tool for remotely operating the shutter moving mechanism to open and close the shutter is provided in the operation part. The lock mechanism is remotely operable from the operation part. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100043379 | Mower Unit - A mower unit includes a mower deck, a plurality of blades mounted inside the mower deck and rotatable about vertical shafts supported to the mower deck, the mower deck defining, on one lateral side thereof, a discharge outlet for discharging cut grass cut by the plurality of blades, and an opening and closing member configured to be movable to a closing position for closing the discharge outlet and also to an opening position away from the discharge outlet for opening the discharge outlet, the opening and closing member at the opening position being disposed along an outer face of the mower deck. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090139818 | Torque converter - In sliding engagement of a clutch plate of a lock-up clutch with a front cover of a converter housing, with a difference in rotational speed therebetween, the sum of the urging force of a coil spring and the force of a lock-up discharge hydraulic pressure in a front side chamber is greater than the force of a lock-up engagement pressure in a rear side chamber. A selector valve member, accommodated in a valve chamber of a displacement selector mechanism, therefore, brings an oil chamber between the clutch plate (first piston) and a second piston into communication with the front side chamber. The hydraulic pressure of the rear side chamber received by a rear face of the piston is higher than hydraulic pressure of the oil chamber received by a front face of the piston and, therefore, the piston is displaced forwardly into frictional contact with the clutch plate and transmission of judder to an input shaft of a speed change mechanism is thereby reduced. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20110240432 | HYDRAULIC POWER TRANSMISSION - A hydraulic power transmission includes a pump impeller connected to an input member coupled to a prime mover, a turbine runner rotatable coaxially with the pump impeller, a damper mechanism having an input element, a resilient member engaged with the input element, an output element, and a lockup clutch capable of engaging the input member and the input element of the damper mechanism and releasing the engagement therebetween. The transmission also includes a dynamic damper configured in such a manner that oscillations transmitted to the input member when the input member and the input element of the damper mechanism are engaged by the lockup clutch are absorbed from the input element. | 10-06-2011 |
