Furthermore, since there is no need to caulk any shield connection terminals in such a manner as to conform to the shapes of the outer conductors as in the known art, there is no chance of the insulators undergoing elastic deformation. Hence, the insulators are protected from any factors for thermal deformation and elastic deformation, and electric characteristics of differential signal transmission cables for individual finished products are thus stabilized.

The second friction disc assembly includes openings, which may take the form of radial slots, configured to engageably receive the protuberances. | 2014-05-22 |
20140138203 | DAMPER DEVICE FOR VEHICLE - A vehicle damper device has a disc plate rotatable around an axial center, a hub member rotatable around the same axial center as the disc plate, and an elastic member interposed between the disc plate and the hub member comprises a friction element configured to include a friction plate portion in sliding contact with the hub member and a pressing portion pushing the friction plate portion against the hub member; and a stopper defining a relative rotation amount between the friction plate portion and the disc plate, the friction element being disposed on an outer circumferential end portion of the hub member. | 2014-05-22 |
20140138204 | COUPLING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A VEHICLE - A coupling system and method for a powered component on a vehicle includes a powered component, a rotating member mechanically driven by an engine on the vehicle and a radial coupling between the powered component and the rotating member for mechanically powering the powered component. | 2014-05-22 |
20140138205 | PRODUCTION METHOD FOR CONED DISC SPRING AND CLUTCH APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH CONED DISC SPRING - A clutch apparatus is equipped with two clutch structures having a clutch drum therein. A driven plate and a piston are provided in the clutch drum of each clutch structure, and a primary coned disc spring and a secondary coned disc spring, which are ring-shaped, are provided between the driven plate and the piston. A flat portion is formed on an inner peripheral portion of a convex surface of the primary coned disc spring, and the flat portion can come into contact with a counter member first when a load is applied. A load in a flat condition due to elastic deformation is adjusted by the flat portion so as to be a desirable value. Blanks and of the primary coned disc spring and the secondary coned disc spring can be obtained from one sheet of material having the same thickness. In this case, the flat portion is formed by press forming on an inner peripheral portion of the blank in view of the shape thereof after bending forming is performed. | 2014-05-22 |
