| 20080202832 | High Reduction Ratio Electric Hub Drive - An integrated electric motor hub drive | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080223638 | Driving Wheel Structure For Motor Vehicle - A driving wheel structure ( | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080264705 | WHEEL ASSEMBLY WITH INTEGRAL ELECTRIC MOTOR - The subject invention provides a wheel assembly ( | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080283314 | In-Wheel Motor System and Method of Installing the Same - A direct drive motor module has hollow disk-like plates ( | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080283315 | Vehicle Having In-Wheel Motors - A vehicle having in-wheel motors, wherein when the in-wheel motors are mounted on the vehicle driven by the torque of an internal combustion engine, the in-wheel motors ( | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080289891 | Mounting structure of part - A breather device provided on the outer peripheral section of a case of an in-wheel motor is located at a position above the rotation shaft of the in-wheel motor, between the in-wheel motor and a wheel. The position is inside the wheel in the width direction of a vehicle. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20080308330 | Wheel Assembly with In-Wheel Motor - A wheel assembly with an in-wheel motor includes a motor for driving a wheel, which is arranged in the wheel; a reduction mechanism that reduces the rate of rotational output of the motor and transmits the resultant rotational output to the wheel; an oil tank in which oil collects; an oil pump that is driven by rotational output of the motor; and an oil flow path that leads oil from the oil pump to at least one of the motor and the reduction mechanism. The oil tank is arranged below the reduction mechanism, farther toward a vehicle inside in a vehicle width direction than a brake dust cover, and farther toward the vehicle outside in the vehicle width direction than a lower ball joint. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090000839 | RIDING LAWN MOWER - A riding lawnmower includes left and right wheels, at least one caster wheel, a lawnmower blade or reel, and a control section. The left and right wheels are independently driven by electric rotary machines to travel. The lawnmower blade or reel is driven for mowing. The control section, in response to turn instruction input by a turn operator, controls the left and right wheels according to preset standard setting conditions, or according to deceleration setting conditions which differ from the standard setting conditions, under which at least one of a vehicle movement speed and vehicle turning speed is decelerated more than under standard setting conditions. The riding lawnmower includes a section designating either standard setting conditions or deceleration setting conditions. In a riding lawnmower, left and right wheels are caused to turn around a turn center position corresponding to a turn instruction according to designated setting conditions. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090000840 | Wheel Drive Apparatus - A wheel drive apparatus drives a wheel by a motor provided inside a wheel member. A planetary gear speed reducer is coupled to an output shaft of the motor. An inner-ring side member is disposed between an inner ring of an axle bearing and the outer periphery of the speed reducer, and is secured to a suspension apparatus of the vehicle. An outer-ring side member is secured to an outer-ring of the axle bearing, and is supported for rotation relative to the inner-ring side member. The wheel member is secured to the outer-ring side member. The power transmission member is disk shaped, and the outer periphery of the power transmission member extends to the location of the outer-ring side member and is coupled to the outer-ring side member. | 01-01-2009 |
| 20090025991 | Electrically Driven Wheel and Vehicle - An electrically driven wheel includes a wheel disc and a wheel hub; an in-wheel motor mounted within the wheel disc to drive the wheel disc and the wheel hub or to be driven by the wheel disc and the wheel hub; a brake rotor and a brake caliper suppressing rotation of the wheel disc and the wheel hub while a vehicle is moving; and a parking lock mechanism provided in the in-wheel motor separately from a brake mechanism formed of the brake rotor and the brake caliper. The parking lock mechanism is a band-type brake frictionally engaging a planetary carrier serving as an “output portion” of a “reduction mechanism”. | 01-29-2009 |
