20140251245 | VALVE TIMING CONTROL APPARATUS - A valve timing control apparatus includes a driving-side rotation member, a driven-side rotation member, a first lock mechanism selectively achieving a first lock state in which a relative rotation phase of the driven-side rotation member relative to the driving-side rotation member is locked at an intermediate lock phase and a first lock release state, and a second lock mechanism selectively achieving a second lock state in which the relative rotation phase is locked at one of a most advanced angle phase and a most retarded angle phase and a second lock release state, the driven-side rotation member being rotatable relative to the driving-side rotation member by a first clearance angle in the first lock state, the driven-side rotation member being rotatable relative to the driving-side rotation member by a second clearance angle in the second lock state, the second clearance angle being smaller than the first clearance angle. | 09-11-2014 |
20140251248 | VALVE TIMING CONTROL APPARATUS - A valve timing control apparatus includes a driving-side rotation member, a driven-side rotation member, and a lock mechanism including a recess portion, a lock member engageable and disengageable relative to the recess portion, and a biasing member. The recess portion includes a lock groove portion with which the lock member is configured to engage to lock a relative rotation phase at a lock phase, and a restriction groove portion. The lock groove portion includes a lock bottom surface and the restriction groove portion includes a restriction bottom surface. A second depth from an opening position of the recess portion to the restriction bottom surface is smaller than a first depth from the opening position to the lock bottom surface. The second depth from the opening position to the restriction bottom surface is smaller than a third depth from the restriction bottom surface to the lock bottom surface. | 09-11-2014 |
20150096526 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND STRUCTURE OF CHAIN COVER OF THE SAME - An internal combustion engine includes: a chain cover that is attached to an internal combustion engine main body having a crankshaft; an oil seal that is mounted on the crankshaft in the vicinity of the chain cover; a metallic oil seal fixing member that is disposed on a surface of the chain cover and fixes the oil seal, the surface being present opposite to the internal combustion engine main body; and a first sealing member that is disposed between the oil sealing fixing member and the chain cover. | 04-09-2015 |
20150114368 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND SEPARATOR STRUCTURE THEREOF - An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder block, an auxiliary machinery attachment member arranged at a side wall of the cylinder block, the auxiliary machinery attachment member to which an auxiliary machine is attached, and a separator portion disposed in a void between the cylinder block and the auxiliary machinery attachment member, the separator portion being provided as a separate member from the cylinder block and the auxiliary machinery attachment member to perform gas-liquid separation on blow-by gas. | 04-30-2015 |
