摘要:
An electric fuel pump for pumping a liquid fuel from a tank to an engine. The pump device has a regenerative pump section and an electric motor section for driving the regenerative pump section. The regenerative pump section includes a pump casing having a first inner surface and a second inner surface axially opposing to and spaced from each other to define therebetween a pump chamber, a shaft adapted to be rotatingly driven by the electric motor section and an impeller accommodated by the pump chamber and mounted on the shaft for rotation therewith but axially movably relatively thereto. The impeller has one axial end surface opposing to the first inner surface with a first gap formed therebetween, and the other axial end surface opposing to the second inner surface of the pump casing with a second gap formed therebetween. The first inner surface and the second inner surface of the pump casing has axial thrust generating surfaces which are so shaped as to gradually decrease the first and the second gaps towards the downstream sides as viewed in the direction of flow of fuel introduced into these gaps. In consequence, axial thrust forces are generated by wedging action of the fuel introduced into the gaps so that the impeller is kept out of contact with the inner surfaces of the pump casing during operation of the pump device.

A power transmission device for vehicles comprises: a housing rotatably supporting a crank shaft of an engine of the vehicle; a first shaft rotatably supported inside the housing to be coaxial with the crank shaft; a clutch unit having a drive member arranged inside the housing and coupled to the crank shaft, and a driven member fixed to the first shaft; a second shaft rotatably supported inside the housing to be parallel to the first shaft. The device has also infinite variable transmission including a drive pulley consisting of a fixed sheave and an axially movable sheave mounted on the first shaft, a driven pulley consisting of a fixed pulley and an axially movable sheave mounted on the second shaft, and a V belt which is placed the driving and driven pulleys through V grooves defined by the fixed and axially movable sheaves of the driving and driven pulleys. Hydraulic piston-cylinder assemblies are fixed to the axially movable sheaves and to the associated first and second shafts so that they move the axially movable sheaves towards and away from the associated fixed sheaves. A rotary pump is disposed at the housing has a rotary element operatively coupled to the crank shaft for rotation therewith to generate a hydraulic pressure upon rotation, and which supplies the hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic piston-cylinder assemblies.

A regenerative pump has a pump housing and a disc-like impeller mounted in the pump housing for axial movement therein and rotated by an electric motor. The impeller is provided with circumferential rows of vane grooves formed in the end faces of the impeller adjacent to the outer periphery thereof. The pump housing has inner surfaces closely spaced from the impeller end faces. Circumferentially continuous annular projections or circumferentially discontinuous projections are formed on either the impeller end faces or the housing inner surfaces to keep at least the major surface areas of the impeller end faces closely spaced from the mating inner surfaces of the housing. Axial passages extend through the impeller to equalize fluid pressures on the opposite impeller end faces.

A monolithic catalyst converter comprises a monolithic catalyst retaining catalyst metal, a cylindrical metallic container receiving the catalyst therein, a radial shock absorbing member disposed in a space between the catalyst and the container, an annular metallic plate disposed in each of axially end surfaces of the catalyst, a retaining member fixed to an inner wall of the container so as to be opposed to the annular metallic plate, an axial shock absorbing member disposed between the annular metallic plate and the retaining member and at least one annular sealing member composed of a compact body obtained by compressing metallic fine wire fabric or ceramic fibers, which is disposed in the space under pressure. By disposing the annular sealing member, unpurified exhaust gas is prevented from flowing out of the space.

A wiper assembly has an arm head which reciprocates with respect to a center line of a wiper arm by receiving motive force from a reciprocating rod. An elastic component is coaxially provided proximate to the center of rotation. When the coefficient of friction between the wiper blade and the windshield surface is inversely proportional to the speed of the wiper blade causing self-induced vibration in certain circumstances, the wiper blade tends to screech, skip or chatter across the windshield surface. Such vibration is suppressed by the elastic component, thereby permitting smooth reciprocal motion of the wiper assembly.

As a rotary pump, which is typically provided on an automobile, is provided with two alternative sources of motive power, typically including a driving connection to the automotive engine, and driving connection to an electric motor. These driving connections may be unidirectionally clutched in such a manner as to cause the electric motor to drive the rotary pump only when the pump is to be driven but the automotive engine is not operating up to a predetermined speed. Typically, the rotary pump is of the eccentrically mounted rotor type having radially outwardly protruding spring-loaded pistons effectively in contact with a camming ring. A slider is shown provided between the housing and the ring for effectively varying the magnitude of eccentricity of the rotor and thus for effectively smoothly varying the capacity of the pump.

A variable capacity radial piston pump is disclosed, in which the radially outer ends of the pistons are constrained by engagement with the radially inner surface of a cam ring assembly that includes a radially inner ring, a radially outer ring, and rollable bearings between the inner and outer rings. The cam ring is shiftably mounted in the pump housing so that its magnitude of eccentricity relative to the pump rotor can be varied in order to vary the magnitude of suction and compression forces generated in the working fluid in the rotor chambers associated with the respective pistons. Several mechanisms for affecting the cam ring/rotor eccentricity variation are shown and described.

An electrically operated fuel pump apparatus comprises an electric motor and a regenerative pump having a pump housing and a disc-like impeller. The motor shaft has an end portion extending into a central axial through-hole formed in an end wall of the pump housing. A joint member comprising a ring-like base and a circumferential row of axial rods extending therefrom is rotatably disposed in the axial through-hole in the end wall of the pump housing and secured to the end portion of the motor shaft. The impeller is rotatably and axially movably mounted on an impeller shaft provided separately of the motor shaft and secured to the other end wall of the pump housing. The impeller is formed therein with a circumferential row of axial apertures with which the axial rods of the joint member loosely engage to transmit the rotation of the motor shaft to the impeller while permitting axial movement of the impeller relative to the motor shaft and the pump housing.
