Abstract:
Provided is a hollow type planar illuminating device having uniform luminance distribution over the entire light emitting surface. A reflecting surface member (2) is arranged on the bottom side of a hollow unit case (1), a light emitting surface member (3) is arranged on the side facing the reflecting surface member of the unit case, and a space sandwiched between the reflecting surface member and the light emitting surface member of the unit case is permitted to be a hollow light guide space (10). An LED light source unit (5) wherein many LEDs are mounted in a row on a wiring board is arranged adjacent to the both sides or one side of the hollow light guide space so that light is emitted to the hollow light guide space. Between the LED light source unit and an end surface of the hollow light guide space, a light collecting lens (9) is arranged. The light collecting lens reduces the directivity angle of light emitted from the LED light source unit in the device thickness direction. Thus, a hollow type planar illuminating device (30) is formed. The surface roughness (Ra) of the surface of the reflecting surface member (2) facing the hollow light guide space (10) is set to satisfy the inequalities of 1 μm
Abstract:
A centrifugal clutch includes vibration isolation ring. The vibration isolation ring reduces or prevents the occurrence of squeaking noises due to the vibration of the clutch outer cover. The vibration isolation ring can be made with a large wall thickness, thereby reducing or preventing deformation of an open-end of a drum wall in the clutch outer cover. The vibration isolation ring has a cylindrical shape and is disposed so as to surround the drum wall at a position substantially corresponding to the location at which a portion of a friction material makes a sliding contact with a drum wall. An end portion of the vibration isolation ring is welded to an outer periphery of the drum wall on a side thereof which is distant from a bottom wall of the clutch outer cover.
Abstract:
A surface light-emitting device is disclosed, in which a plurality of spot light sources are arranged along the side surface of a housing of the device, and the light emitted from the spot light sources located at the end portions of the spot light source sequence emits a lower light flux than the average light flux of the light emitted from the other spot light sources. The spot light source sequence is, for example, an LED array including an alignment of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The LED array includes two groups of LED elements arranged in a predetermined repetitive pattern from one and the other ends, respectively, of the LED array, and at least an LED emitting low light flux is arranged at a predetermined position in the vicinity of the center of the array. As a result, the requirement for a reduced thickness and a narrower frame can be met, while at the same time producing the white light of uniform chromaticity over the whole light-emitting surface.

Abstract:
In a V-belt type transmission having a V-belt entrained on a pulley, the pulley includes a fixed pulley half fixed to an end portion of a crankshaft and a movable pulley half supported on the crankshaft but axially slidable in opposition to the fixed pulley half. The fixed pulley half is secured with a bolt that is threaded and engaged with a female screw formed inside an end portion of the crankshaft. The V-belt type transmission is capable of securely clamping a fixed pulley half and is capable of preventing the entry of dust and water into a fixed pulley half threaded portion formed in an end portion of the crankshaft. This arrangement protects against the formation of rust and corrosion.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cooling air intake structure for a V-belt drive continuously variable transmission, which is disposed beside the rear wheel of a small vehicle and which does not permit muddy water and dust to enter therein. A cooling air inlet through which cooling air is taken in is formed at a position beside a transmission case and above a cooling fan side opening formed in the transmission case opposite to a drive pulley. A cooling air passage extending from the cooling air inlet to the side opening is formed so as to surround the side opening. Cooling air taken in through the cooling air inlet is guided so as to flow upward first and then flows downward along a U-shaped cooling air passage to the side opening of the transmission case beside the cooling fan.
