| 20090205919 | VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH TORQUE DAMPER - A torque shock or vibrations caused by the rotary inertia of a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission is reduced to improve ride quality of a vehicle when excessive torque occurs in a torque transmission path between a crankshaft and a drive wheel. A motorcycle includes a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission rotatably driven by torque of a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine. A rear wheel is rotatably driven by torque from the transmission. A torque damper absorbs excessive torque occurring in a torque transmission path from the crankshaft to the rear wheel. The torque dampers include an input side torque damper disposed in an input side torque transmission path between the crank shaft and the transmission and an output side torque damper disposed in an output side torque transmission path between the transmission and the rear wheel. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090205920 | VEHICLE PROVIDED WITH TORQUE DAMPER - A torque damper for a power unit includes a rotating shaft on which the torque damper is mounted to reduce the axial size and weight. A torque damper for absorbing excessive torque occurring in a torque transmission path between an output shaft of a running clutch and an intermediate shaft includes an input cam member adapted to receive torque of the output shaft and an output cam member. A driven gear adapted to apply torque of the output shaft to the input cam member is provided on the input cam member rotatably supported by the intermediate shaft. In the torque damper, a torque-absorbing portion for absorbing excessive torque includes an input cam portion of the input cam member and an output cam portion of the output cam member and is disposed between a pair of bearings. One bearing is disposed between the input cam portion and the driven gear. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20130037370 | DECOUPLER ASSEMBLY WITH SLIDING INTERFACE BETWEEN HUB AND PULLEY - In one aspect, the invention is directed to a decoupler assembly for between an endless drive element and a shaft. The endless drive element may be, for example, an accessory drive belt from a vehicular engine. The shaft may be, for example, the input shaft of a belt-driven accessory, such as an alternator or a compressor. The decoupler assembly includes a hub that mounts to the shaft, a pulley that is rotatable with respect to the hub, a dampening spring and a clutch member. A part of the pulley is supported on a pulley support surface on the hub. There is a gap between the pulley and the pulley support surface. The gap has lubricant therein to facilitate sliding between the pulley and the pulley support surface. By eliminating the use of a polymeric bushing between pulley and the hub, there are several advantages that are provided. | 02-14-2013 |
| 20160047427 | ACCESSORY TUNING DEVICE WITH SPRING LOCK - An accessory drive tuning device with a torsion spring for angular vibration isolation and having a spring pocket that frictionally engages the end of the torsion spring. The engagement may be with a wedge-shape on either the spring end or the pocket or both, adapted so that the spring end wedges into the pocket. The engagement may be by interference fit. One or both ends of the spring may be engaged in respective pockets. | 02-18-2016 |
| 192550600 | Plural resilient members | 2 |
| 20130048459 | LOCK-UP DEVICE FOR TORQUE CONVERTER - A lock-up device for a torque converter is provided whereby vibration attributed to coil springs can be reliably inhibited. In the lock-up device, two large coil springs of each pair are disposed in series. Stiffness ratios α1 and α2 between an N-th torsional stiffness and an (N+1)-th torsional stiffness are set to be greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to 3.0 (N is positive integer) in a multistage torsional characteristic produced by compressing at least one of the two large coil springs of each pair and a small coil spring in accordance with a relative angle between an input rotary member and an output rotary member. | 02-28-2013 |
