20090173591 | TORQUE LIMITER - A torque limiter includes a shaft member | 07-09-2009 |
20100184519 | TORQUE LIMITER - A torque limiter includes a shaft member | 07-22-2010 |
20100272502 | TORQUE LIMITER - A torque limiter includes a cylindrical member, and a shaft member which is fitted rotatably in the cylindrical member. The cylindrical member has a main body portion having in an interior thereof an oil pressure expansion chamber for pressing an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member against an outer circumferential surface of the shaft member and an oil release passage which is opened to the oil pressure expansion chamber at one end portion while being closed tightly at the other end portion and which is positioned further radially outwards than an outer circumferential surface of the main body portion. When the cylindrical member stays still relative to the shaft member, the other end portion of the oil release passage is accommodated within a cap member which is screwed to be fixed in a threaded hole. When the cylindrical member rotates relative to the shaft member, the other end portion of the oil release passage is broken by the cap member, whereby the oil release passage is opened to the outside. When the cylindrical member is rotated relative to the shaft member in such a state that the cap member is not screwed in the threaded hole and in such a state that the oil release passage is not opened to the outside, the other end portion of the oil release passage moves in the circumferential direction within circumferentially extended groove while being spaced apart from the circumferentially extended groove. | 10-28-2010 |
20110002729 | TORQUE LIMITER - There is provided a torque limiter in which oil in an oil pressure expanding chamber can be rapidly removed, when an inner peripheral face of a tube member has slipped with respect to an outer peripheral face of a shaft member, and burn-outs are unlikely to occur on the shaft member and the tube member. | 01-06-2011 |
20110100169 | TORQUE LIMITER - An annular shear valve protection member is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of a circumferentially extending portion of a cutting portion of a shaft member which is positioned radially outwards of shear valves and in the same axial position as the shear valves. Maintenance work such as replacement of shear valves of a torque limiter is performed by switching as required the state of the shear valve protection member | 05-05-2011 |

20080210048 | HEATING ELEMENT FOR STEERING WHEEL - A heating element includes a base material and a heater disposed on the base material, which can be deformed to accommodate a part of the heater. A steering wheel equipped with the heating element is free from surface protrusions caused by the heater. Employment of a linear heater reduces connections between the heater and power supply lines, and a high connecting reliability is obtained. The steering wheel includes the heating element and the power lines, and connections between the heating element and the power lines are disposed in the boss portion of the steering wheel. The steering wheel is further provided with a temperature detector, a temperature detector heater and a temperature controller, and the detector and the detector heater are disposed in the boss portion. Thus, a steering wheel with a good grip and a good appearance can be provided at a low cost. | 09-04-2008 |
20100224612 | SHEET HEATING ELEMENT - An object of the invention is to provide a highly durable sheet-heating element that has flexibility for making a seat more comfortable, that alleviates load stress for a heater wire while being seated, and that prevents the heater wire from being disconnected. | 09-09-2010 |
20110163576 | SEAT WITH HEATING DEVICE - A seat with a heating device is provided which realizes a configuration in which the arm, palms and finger tips of a user can easily be warmed when the user uses the seat with the heating device. When the user is seated in a seat with a heating device and feels cold due to it being winter, the user controls a switch to heat the seat, whereby energization of heating elements | 07-07-2011 |
