DOVE LOVE!a Hootie update! "Hootie alert: up to 40 egg total as of this morning ... That little white bird clearly doesn't know when to quit. I'm in the process of getting the work trailer (better known as Hootie's Aviary) pulled from the project by the end of next week, so she'll be residing in the chef's quarters with me and the cat. I'll appraise you if that has any effect on her egg production. I will let her out a couple of times a day, but I'll have to lock the cat up on the second floor to keep any excitement to a minimum. There may be some interesting photo opportunities. That's all that's marginally interesting in Newport today." "As of this morning, Hootie is up to 6 eggs in a row. She seems very healthy and happy (I guess...it's hard to be sure...she IS a dove) but if she keeps this up and she's gonna wear out her egg making stuff. Whew. She still hasn't learned that it's not wise to lay eggs on TOP of the cage. " ~ excerpts from Thom's Hootie updates, pictures of Hootie by Thom!Thom ~ thanks for loving her!xoxo

Casey playing at the Chambers beach n Tahoe over Labor Day weekend.
Man this kid is great! He loves this crazy swimsuit our neighbors gave us. It protects his snow-white skin from the sun and he looks like one of the "Incredibles" in it. We had a great time in Tahoe. We went for a long hike and played at the beach. We went out two nights in a row with Dagny and Dean. What a treat!
Posted by Noisy Nora at 3:02 PM No comments:
Casey has had a wonderful summer. He flew to Oregon to see his cousin Ava's new house and meet his new baby cousin, Lola. He's gone to the splash park with his other baby cousin, Liam and Uncle Chuck and Aunt Bridget. He recently went to the CA State Fair three times. Every Friday Casey and I choose something wonderful to do together. I love my Friday's with Casey!
We can't believe our little "Paddles" will be three-years-old soon. Sniff sniff...where has the time gone? He recently moved into a big boy bed and potty training is coming along as well.

At the Twilight's Last Gleaming: Business-hostile California spurs economic growth... in neighboring Arizona and Oregon
Business-hostile California spurs economic growth... in neighboring Arizona and Oregon
Reuters reported February 18 that California-based Intel is planning to invest up to $8 BILLION in new manufacturing facilities in Arizona and Oregon. I wonder why they didn't think it worthwhile to invest the money a little closer to home base?
Intel Corp plans to build a $5 billion, cutting-edge microchip factory in Arizona by 2013, sharply ramping up its U.S. manufacturing capacity as part of a major global expansion.
The state-of-the-art plant, which will crank out microchips with next-generation 14 nanometer line-widths, is expected to bring thousands of jobs to the cash-strapped western U.S. state, which is offering more incentives to lure businesses.
[...] Intel said in October it plans to spend $6 billion to $8 billion on high-tech manufacturing facilities in Arizona and Oregon, creating as many as 8,000 construction jobs.
I'm sure that California's neighbors will be happy if the state keeps making it hard for businesses to do business there.

The Pink Needle: December 2008
These are book bags made with a thicker material, and assembled in a whole new way. The handles were a pain to make, but I had cut out several pieces already so I stuck it out and followed the book's instructions. I know a woman who is really into these kinds of bags. Hope she likes it. The lining is the same material as the outside top piece of the bag.
This time the pouch is padded with the material I use when quilting. It's a really good size for many things. Inside. I like using colors that contrast, even clash with each other. Side view.
One of my new sewing books had a picture of zipper sewing that lifted my fear of giving pouch making another try. I needed to make gifts for teachers.I made several. I am not quite at the stage of the learning curve where the skill is second nature.

US 20090272613 A1Abstract
Provided is a seat where pumping operation of a lever of the seat not only rotates an output member by inching but also, when a load in the operation direction of the lever is applied to the output side member, rotates it at one stroke in that direction. A seat adjustment device of the seat has a clutch unit (X) provided between the lever and a rotation member of a movement mechanism. The clutch unit (X) has a lever side clutch section (11) which is provided on the input side and controls, through lever operation, transmission/interruption of rotational torque to the output side, a brake side clutch section (12) provided on the output side, which transmits input torque from the lever side clutch section (11) to the output side, and interrupts reverse input torque from the output side, and a rotation control clutch section (13) which is disposed adjacent to the brake side clutch section (12), allows a pinion shaft (28) of the brake side clutch section (12) to rotate by inching through pumping operation where the lever of the lever side clutch section (12) is rotated in one direction, and makes the pinion shaft (28) rotatable through a single operation in which the lever is rotated in the opposite direction.
1. A seat having a seat adjustment device for performing position adjustment on a seating seat through torque input from a lever, the seat adjustment device comprising: a lever, a movement mechanism enabling adjustment movement of a desired portion of the seating seat, and a clutch unit provided between the lever and a rotary member of the movement mechanism, wherein the clutch unit comprises a lever side clutch section provided on an input side and adapted to control transmission/interruption of rotational torque to an output side through lever operation, a brake side clutch section provided on the output side and adapted to transmit input torque from the lever side clutch section to the output side and to interrupt reverse input torque from the output side, and a rotation control clutch section which is disposed adjacent to the brake side clutch section and which rotates by inching an output side member of the brake side clutch section through pumping operation in which the lever of the lever side clutch section is rotated in one direction and makes an output side member of the brake side clutch section rotatable through a single operation in which the lever is rotated in the opposite direction.
2. A seat according to claim 1, wherein the rotation control clutch section has a control means which divide the output side member into two and control transmission/interruption of torque between one output side member and the other output side member.
3. A seat according to claim 2, wherein, in the rotation control clutch section, a tapered roller is provided between one output side member and the other output side member so as to allow engagement/disengagement, and wherein the control means controls the engagement/disengagement of the tapered roller.
4. A seat according to claim 3, wherein the tapered roller is provided so as to be axially movable between one output side member and the other output side member, and can undergo engagement/disengagement through axial movement in a wedge gap formed so as to extend in the axial direction.
5. A seat according to claim 2, wherein the control means comprises a retainer having a torque cam portion moving the tapered roller in the axial direction, and an input side member of the brake side clutch section having a torque cam portion in phase with the torque cam portion of the retainer.
6. A seat according to claim 2, wherein, in a neutral state of the brake side clutch section, a clearance angle made by two contact points of the input side member and the output side member with respect to a rotation center, and a clearance angle made by two contact points of the input side member and an engagement member with respect to the rotation center, are larger in one rotating direction than in the other rotating direction.
7. A seat according to claim 1, wherein the lever side clutch section comprises an input side member to which torque is input through lever operation, an output side member from which torque is output, a plurality of engagement members controlling transmission/interruption of input torque from the input side member through engagement/disengagement between the input side member and the output side member, a retainer retaining the engagement members at predetermined circumferential intervals, a stationary side member constrained in its rotation, a first elastic member which is provided between the retainer and the stationary side member and which accumulates elastic force with the input torque from the input side member and restores the retainer to the neutral state with the accumulated elastic force through releasing of the input torque, and a second elastic member which is provided between the input side member and the stationary side member and which accumulates elastic force with the input torque from the input side member and restores the input side member to the neutral state with the accumulated elastic force through releasing of the input torque.
8. A seat according to claim 1, wherein the brake side clutch section comprises an input side member to which torque is input, an output side member from which torque is output, a stationary side member constrained in its rotation, a pair of engagement members which are arranged in a gap between the stationary side member and the output side member, and control transmission of input torque from the input side member and interruption of reverse input torque from the output side member through engagement/disengagement between the stationary side member and the output side member, and an elastic member which is provided between the pair of engagement members, and imparts a repulsive urging force to the engagement members.
9. A seat according to claim 3, wherein the control means comprises a retainer having a torque cam portion moving the tapered roller in the axial direction, and an input side member of the brake side clutch section having a torque cam portion in phase with the torque cam portion of the retainer.
10. A seat according to claim 3, wherein, in a neutral state of the brake side clutch section, a clearance angle made by two contact points of the input side member and the output side member with respect to a rotation center, and a clearance angle made by two contact points of the input side member and an engagement member with respect to the rotation center, are larger in one rotating direction than in the other rotating direction.
11.

Description
The present invention relates to a seat having a seat adjustment device into which there is incorporated a clutch unit having a lever side clutch section transmitting operational torque from the input side to the output side and a brake side clutch section transmitting rotational torque from the input side to the output side and shutting off reverse input torque from the output side.
Generally speaking, in a clutch unit using engagement members such as cylindrical rollers or balls, a clutch section is arranged between the input side member and the output side member, and, in the clutch section, the engagement members such as cylindrical rollers or balls are engaged/disengaged with/from a wedge gap formed between the input side member and the output side member, thereby controlling the transmission/interruption of the input torque.
A clutch unit of this type is sometimes incorporated, for example, into a seat adjustment device which vertically moves a seat through lever operation to be used (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). This clutch unit is equipped with a lever side clutch section transmitting rotational torque from the input side to the output side and a brake side clutch section transmitting rotational torque from the input side to the output side and shutting off reverse input torque from the output side.
In the seat adjustment device, an input side member of the lever side clutch section is coupled to a lever, and an output side member of the brake side clutch section is coupled to a rotary member vertically moving the seat. By performing pumping operation on the lever upwardly or downwardly, the rotational torque is transmitted to the output side member to rotate the rotary member by inching, whereby the seat is vertically moved, thus enabling the seat surface adjustment thereof.
When the occupant is seated on the seat, even if rotational torque is applied to the output side member via the rotary member, the output side member is locked by the reverse input rotational torque thereof, thus preventing the input side member from rotating.
Patent Document 1: JP 2003-93187 A
Patent Document 2: JP 2002-240601 A
As described above, in the clutch unit as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is a present situation that pumping operation is performed on the lever coupled to the input side member of the lever side clutch section, whereby the rotary member coupled to the output side member of the brake side clutch section is caused to rotate by inching.
However, in this clutch unit, the rotation by inching of the output side member through pumping operation of the lever is sometimes felt to be rather complicated. In such cases, there is a demand for a one-stroke rotation of the output side member through a single lever operation.
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problem in the prior art. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seat into which there is incorporated a clutch unit which not only rotates by inching the output side member through pumping operation of the lever but, when a load is being applied to the lever operating direction, can also rotate the output side member at one stroke in that direction.
As a technological means to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is characterized by a seat having a seat adjustment device for performing position adjustment on a seating seat through torque input from a lever, the seat adjustment device including: a lever, a movement mechanism enabling adjustment movement of a desired portion of the seating seat, and a clutch unit provided between the lever and a rotary member of the movement mechanism, in which the clutch unit includes a lever side clutch section provided on an input side and adapted to control transmission/interruption of rotational torque to an output side through lever operation, a brake side clutch section provided on the output side and adapted to transmit input torque from the lever side clutch section to the output side and to interrupt reverse input torque from the output side, and a rotation control clutch section which is disposed adjacent to the brake side clutch section and which rotates by inching an output side member of the brake side clutch section through pumping operation in which the lever of the lever side clutch section is rotated in one direction and makes an output side member of the brake side clutch section rotatable through a single operation in which the lever is rotated in the opposite direction.
Regarding the lever operating direction described above, assuming that the �one direction� is counterclockwise, the �opposite direction� is clockwise.
In the seat of the present invention, there is incorporated a clutch unit in which the brake side clutch section is equipped with a rotation control clutch section which rotates the output side member of the brake side clutch section by inching through pumping operation in which the lever of the lever side clutch section is rotated in one direction, and makes the output side member of the brake side clutch section rotatable through a single operation of rotating the lever in the opposite direction, whereby it is not only possible to rotate the output side member to rotate by inching through pumping operation of the lever in one direction but also to make the output side member rotatable through a single operation of the lever in the opposite direction, so that, when a load is being applied in the lever operating direction, it is possible to rotate the output side member at one stroke.
Here, the �pumping operation of the lever in one direction� means the operation of rotating the lever repeatedly in one direction a plurality of times. The �single operation of the lever in the opposite direction� means the operation of rotating the lever only once in the opposite direction. Further, unlike the above-mentioned rotation by inching, the �one-stroke rotation� means that the member rotates continuously.
The rotation control clutch section of the clutch unit may have a control means which divide the output side member into two and control transmission/interruption of torque between one output side member and the other output side member. Further, the rotation control clutch section, a tapered roller may be provided between one output side member and the other output side member so as to allow engagement/disengagement, and the control means may control the engagement/disengagement of the tapered roller.
In this rotation control clutch section, when the tapered roller is engaged between the two output side members by the control means, it is possible to rotate the output side members by inching through pumping operation of the lever in one direction, and when the tapered roller is detached from between the two output side members by the control means, the torque transmission is cut off between the two output side members, so that one output side member which is arranged at the output end is made rotatable through a single operation of the lever in one direction.
In the above-mentioned rotation control clutch section, it is preferred that the tapered roller be provided so as to be axially movable between one output side member and the other output side member, and can undergo engagement/disengagement through axial movement in a wedge gap formed so as to extend in the axial direction. Further, it is preferred that the control means include a retainer having a torque cam portion moving the tapered roller in the axial direction, and an input side member of the brake side clutch section having a torque cam portion in phase with the torque cam portion of the retainer. Further, it is preferred that, in a neutral state of the brake side clutch section, a clearance angle made by two contact points of the input side member and the output side member with respect to a rotation center, and a clearance angle made by two contact points of the input side member and an engagement member with respect to the rotation center, be larger in one rotating direction than in the other rotating direction.
The lever side clutch section of the clutch unit may include an input side member to which torque is input through lever operation, an output side member from which torque is output, a plurality of engagement members controlling transmission/interruption of input torque from the input side member through engagement/disengagement between the input side member and the output side member, a retainer retaining the engagement members at predetermined circumferential intervals, a stationary side member constrained in its rotation, a first elastic member which is provided between the retainer and the stationary side member and which accumulates elastic force with the input torque from the input side member and restores the retainer to the neutral state with the accumulated elastic force through releasing of the input torque, and a second elastic member which is provided between the input side member and the stationary side member and which accumulates elastic force with the input torque from the input side member and restores the input side member to the neutral state with the accumulated elastic force through releasing of the input torque.
The brake side clutch section of the clutch unit may include an input side member to which torque is input, an output side member from which torque is output, a stationary side member constrained in its rotation, a pair of engagement members which are arranged in a gap between the stationary side member and the output side member, and control transmission of input torque from the input side member and interruption of reverse input torque from the output side member through engagement/disengagement between the stationary side member and the output side member, and an elastic member which is provided between the pair of engagement members, and imparts a repulsive urging force to the engagement members.
According to the present invention, there is incorporated a clutch unit equipped with a rotation control clutch section which rotates the output side member of the brake side clutch section by inching through pumping operation in which the lever of the lever side clutch section is rotated in one direction, and which makes the output side member of the brake side clutch section rotatable through a single operation of rotating the lever in the opposite direction, whereby it is not only possible to rotate the output side member by inching through pumping operation of the lever in one direction but also to make the output side member rotatable through a single operation of the lever in the opposite direction, so that, when a load is being applied in that lever operating direction, it is possible to rotate the output side member at one stroke through a single lever operation, thereby eliminating the complication in the lever operation to thereby achieve an improvement in terms of the lever operability of the seat.
FIG. 1 shows the overall construction of a clutch unit X to be incorporated into a seat according to an embodiment of the present invention. The clutch unit X includes a lever side clutch section 11, a brake side clutch section 12 with a reverse input shutting off function provided on the output side, and a rotation control clutch section 13 disposed adjacent to the brake side clutch section 12.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the lever side clutch section 11 has an outer ring 14 serving as an input side member, an inner ring 15 serving as an output side member, a plurality of cylindrical rollers 16 serving as engagement members, a retainer 17 retaining the cylindrical rollers 16, a centering spring 18 that is a first elastic member for restoring the retainer 17 to a neutral state, and a centering spring 19 that is a second elastic member for restoring the outer ring 14 to the neutral state.
In the inner periphery of the outer ring 14, a plurality of cam surfaces 14 a are formed at equal circumferential intervals. The inner ring 15 has on the outer side thereof an outer peripheral surface 15 a forming a wedge gap 21 between itself and the cam surfaces 14 a of the outer ring 14. The retainer 17 has a plurality of pockets 20 accommodating the cylindrical rollers 16.
As shown in FIG. 3, the centering springs 18 and 19 are both ring-shaped plate springs with ends formed by rounding strip plate members, and one centering spring 18 is arranged on the inner side of the other centering spring 19. The centering spring 18 situated on the inner side has a pair of lock portions 18 a formed by being bent radially inwards, and the centering spring 19 situated on the outer side has a pair of lock portions 19 a formed by being bent radially outwards.
The centering spring 18 is arranged between the retainer 17 and an outer ring 22 which is a stationary side member of the brake side clutch section 12, one lock portion 18 a is locked to the retainer 17, and the other lock portion 18 a is locked to a claw portion 22 a provided on the outer ring 22 (see FIGS. 4( a) and 4(b)).
In the centering spring 18, when input torque from the outer ring 14 is exerted, one lock portion 18 a is engaged with a part of the retainer 17, and the other lock portion 18 a is engaged with the claw portion 22 a of the outer ring 22, so that, as the outer ring 14 rotates, the centering spring 18 is pushed open to accumulate elastic force, and when the input torque from the outer ring 14 is released, the retainer 17 is restored to the neutral state by the elastic restoring force thereof.
The centering spring 19 is arranged between the outer ring 14 and the outer ring 22 of the brake side clutch section 12, and both lock portions 19 a are locked to a claw portion 14 b provided on the outer ring 14, and locked to a claw portion 22 b provided on the outer ring 22. The lock portions 19 a are arranged circumferentially out of phase with respect to the lock portions 18 a of the centering spring 18.
In the centering spring 19, when input torque from the outer ring 14 is exerted to rotate the outer ring 14, one lock portion 19 a is engaged with the claw portion 14 b of the outer ring 14, and the other lock portion 19 a is engaged with the claw portion 22 b of the outer ring 22, so that, as the outer ring 14 rotates, the centering spring 19 is pushed open to accumulate elastic force, and when the input torque from the outer ring 14 is released, the outer ring 14 is restored to the neutral state by the elastic restoring force thereof.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6, the so-called lock type brake side clutch section 12 having a reverse input shutting off function, is mainly formed of an inner peripheral surface 22 c of the outer ring 22, a plurality of cam surfaces 23 a provided on the outer side of an output shaft 23 at equal circumferential intervals (e.g., six surfaces in the case of the embodiment shown), a pair of cylindrical rollers 25 serving as engagement members provided between the inner peripheral surface 22 c of the outer ring 22 and the cam surfaces 23 a of the output shaft 23, elastic members each existing between the pair of cylindrical rollers 25, e.g., plate springs 26 of an N-shaped sectional configuration, and an inner ring 15 of the lever side clutch section 11 on which pockets 24 each accommodating cylindrical rollers 25 and a plate spring 26 are formed at equal circumferential intervals and which functions as a retainer.
A plurality of pin holes 23 b are formed in the output shaft 23 at predetermined circumferential intervals, and pins 15 b of the inner ring 15 are inserted into the pin holes 23 b. The inner axial end of the output shaft 23 is coaxially coupled, through concavoconvex fit-engagement, with a pinion shaft 28 on which a pinion gear 28 a is integrally formed, with the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28 constituting an output side member.
The wedge gap 27 is formed between the inner peripheral surface 22 c of the outer ring 22 and the cam surfaces 23 a of the output shaft 23. Formed on the outer ring 22 are the lock portions 22 a, 22 b (see FIG. 3) to be engaged with the centering springs 18, 19 of the lever side clutch section 11.
As shown in FIGS. 1, 7, and 8, the rotation control clutch section 13 disposed adjacent to the brake side clutch section 12 is mainly formed of a plurality of cam surfaces 23 c provided at equal circumferential intervals on the inner peripheral surface of the output shaft 23, a tapered surface 28 b that is the outer peripheral surface of the pinion shaft 28, tapered rollers 29 provided between the cam surfaces 23 c of the output shaft 23 and the tapered surface 28 b of the pinion shaft 28, a retainer 30 serving as a control means for controlling the engagement/disengagement of the tapered rollers 29, and the inner ring 15.
As shown in FIGS. 9( a) through 9(c), the output shaft 23 includes a small diameter portion 23 d serving as the shaft portion and a large diameter portion 23 e formed by enlarging the diameter of one end portion of the small diameter portion 23 d. Provided in the large diameter portion 23 e is a recess 23 f where the tapered rollers 29, the pinion shaft 28, and a part of the retainer 30 are arranged, and, substantially at the center of the recess, there is provided a protrusion 23 g, which is fit-engaged with a recess 28 c of the pinion shaft 28. Further, at the end surface of the large diameter portion 23 e, there are provided, at equal circumferential intervals (at four circumferential positions in the example shown), recesses 23 h into which a part of the retainer 30 is fitted for phase matching with the retainer 30. Further, in the rear surface of the large diameter portion 23 e, there are formed, at equal circumferential intervals, a plurality of (e.g., six in the embodiment shown) pin holes 23 b into which the pins 15 b of the inner ring 15 are inserted as described above.
As shown in FIG. 10, the protrusion 23 g of the output shaft 23 is fit-engaged with the recess 28 c formed at the inner side shaft end surface to thereby effect center alignment on both and to couple them coaxially together. At the outer shaft end, the pinion gear 28 a is integrally formed. A tapered surface 28 b is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the pinion shaft 28, in particular, the output shaft side portion thereof. The tapered surface 28 b is inclined along the axial direction by gradually increasing the diameter of the pinion shaft 28 toward the output shaft. As a result, there is formed, between the tapered surface and the cam surfaces 23 c parallel to the axis of the output shaft 23, a wedge gap 34 reduced in diameter from the outer side toward the inner side with respect to the axial direction.
As shown in FIGS. 11( a) and 11(b), the retainer 30 includes a cylindrical portion 30 a inserted and arranged between the cam surfaces 23 c of the large diameter portion 23 e of the output shaft 23 and the tapered surface 28 b of the pinion shaft 28, and a flange portion 30 b extending radially and integrally from one end of the cylindrical portion 30 a. Provided in the cylindrical portion 30 a are a plurality of pockets 31 accommodating the plurality of (eight, in the embodiment shown) tapered rollers 29 and supporting them at equal circumferential intervals. The pockets 31 have substantially the same tapered configuration as the tapered rollers 29. The taper angle of the tapered rollers 29 preferably ranges 4 to 8 degrees, and is more preferably, approximately 6 degrees. The flange portion 30 b has, around and in the vicinity of the outer side of the cylindrical portion 30 a, a plurality of (four, in the embodiment shown) protrusions 30 c to be fit-engaged with the recesses 23 h of the output shaft 23 for phase matching with the output shaft 23. Further, at the outer peripheral edge portion of the flange portion 30 b, there are formed, at equal circumferential intervals, a plurality of (six, in the embodiment shown) torque cam portions 30 d continuously increased in height in the circumferential direction.
As shown in FIG. 12, the retainer 30 is arranged so as to be axially movable through the intermediation of a wave washer 33 provided between itself and a side plate 32 fixed to the casing. Due to the wave washer 33, the retainer 30 is constantly pressed toward the output shaft side, and the tapered rollers 29 are forced toward the narrower side of the wedge gap 34, with the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28 being engaged with each other through the intermediation of the tapered rollers 29. It is desirable for the retainer 30 to receive an axial load from the inner ring 15, and, as countermeasures against wear, to be formed of heat-treated iron-type material, and to be manufactured for example, through press molding of case hardening steel (SCr415 or SCr420, SCM415 or SCM420) that has undergone carburizing and quenching/tempering.
As shown in FIGS. 13( a) through 13(c), the inner ring 15 includes a cylindrical portion 15 c fitted onto the output shaft 23, and a large diameter portion 15 d formed by increasing the diameter of one end portion of the cylindrical portion 15 c. Formed at the end surface of the large diameter portion 15 d are torque cam portions 15 e in phase with the torque cam portions 30 d provided on the flange portion 30 b of the retainer 30 described above. A plurality of pockets 24 accommodating cylindrical rollers 25 are formed in the large diameter portion 15 d at equal circumferential intervals. Formed on the rear surface of the large diameter portion 15 d, at equal circumferential intervals, are a plurality of (e.g., six, in the embodiment shown) pins 15 b to be inserted into the pin holes 23 b of the output shaft 23.
In the lever side clutch section 11, when input torque acts on the outer ring 14, the cylindrical rollers 16 are engaged with the wedge gap 21, and the torque is transmitted to the inner ring 15 via the cylindrical rollers 16 to thereby rotate the inner ring 15. At this time, as the outer ring 14 and the retainer 17 rotate, elastic force is accumulated in the centering springs 18 and 19. When the input torque ceases to exist, the outer ring 14 and the retainer 17 are restored to the neutral state by the elastic force of the centering springs 18 and 19, whereas the inner ring 15 maintains the given rotating position. Thus, through repeated rotation of the outer ring 14, that is, pumping operation, rotation amount is increasingly accumulated in the inner ring 15.
In the brake side clutch section 12, when reverse input torque is input to the output shaft 23, the cylindrical rollers 25 are engaged with the wedge gap 27, and the output shaft 23 is locked with respect to the outer ring 22. Thus, the reverse input torque from the output shaft 23 is locked by the brake side clutch section 12, and reflux of the reverse input torque to the lever side clutch section 11 is shut off.
On the other hand, input torque from the outer ring 14 is input to the inner ring 15 via the lever side clutch section 11, and the inner ring 15 is engaged with the cylindrical rollers 25 to press against the elastic force of the plate spring 26, whereby the cylindrical rollers 25 are detached from the wedge gap 27 and the locked state of the output shaft 23 is canceled, making the output shaft 23 rotatable. When the inner ring 15 further rotates, the pins 15 b of the inner ring 15 are engaged with the pin holes 23 b of the output shaft 23, whereby the input torque from the inner ring 15 is transmitted to the output shaft 23 via the pins 15 b and the pin holes 23 b, and hence the output shaft 23 rotates.
The clutch unit X having the construction as described in detail above is incorporated, for example, a seat adjustment device 40 to be used. FIG. 14 shows a seat 40 provided in the passenger compartment of an automobile. The seat 40 includes a seating seat 40 a and a backrest seat 40 b, and has a seat adjustment device 41 for adjusting the height H of the seating seat 40 a. The adjustment of the height H of the seating seat 40 a is effected by a lever 41 a of the seat adjustment device 41.
FIG. 15( a) is a conceptual drawing showing a construction example of the seat adjustment device 41. One end of each of link members 41 c and 41 d are pivoted to a slide movable member 41 b 1 of a seat slide adjuster 41 b, which is a movement mechanism. The other ends of the link members 41 c and 41 d are pivoted to the seating seat 40 a. The other end of the link member 41 c is pivoted to a sector gear 41 f via a link member 41 e. The sector gear 41 f is pivoted to the seating seat 40 a, and is swingable around a fulcrum 41 f 1. The other end of the link member 41 d is pivoted to the seating seat 40 a. The clutch unit X of the above-described embodiment is fixed to an appropriate portion of the seating seat 40 a; a lever 41 a formed, for example, of resin, is connected to the outer ring 14 of the lever side clutch section 11, and the pinion gear 28 a provided on the pinion shaft 28 of the brake side clutch portion 12 is in mesh with the sector gear 41 f, which is a rotary member.
For example, when, in FIG. 15( b), pumping operation is performed on the lever 41 a counterclockwise (upwardly), the input torque in that direction is transmitted to the pinion gear 28 a via the clutch unit X, and the pinion gear 28 a rotates counterclockwise by inching. And, the sector gear 41 f in mesh with the pinion gear 28 a swings clockwise, and pulls the other end of the link member 41 c via the link member 41 e. As a result, both the link member 41 c and the link member 41 d are erected, and the seat surface of the seating seat 40 a is heightened.
When, after the height H of the seating seat 40 a has been adjusted, the lever 41 a is released, the lever 41 a is rotated clockwise by the elastic force of the centering springs 18 and 19, and is restored to the former position (neutral state). When a single operation is performed on the lever 41 a clockwise (downwardly), the height of the seating seat 40 a is reduced through the operation reverse to that described above. When the lever 41 a is released after the height adjustment, the lever 41 a rotates counterclockwise, and is restored to the former position (neutral state).
As shown in FIG. 16, in the rotation control clutch section 13 of the clutch unit X, when the tapered rollers 29 are pushed toward the narrower side of the wedge gap 34 (in the direction of the open arrow in the drawing) by the retainer 30, the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28 are engaged with each other by the tapered rollers 29 and are integrated to be placed in a locked state. That is, as shown in FIG. 17, each tapered roller 29 is engaged at three points: two points X1 and X2 on the cam surface 23 c of the output shaft 23 and one point Y on the tapered surface 28 b of the pinion shaft 28, and the pinion shaft 28 can rotate integrally with the output shaft 23 both clockwise and counterclockwise. When the tapered rollers 29 are thus in the engaged state, it is possible to rotate the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28 by inching through pumping operation using the lever 41 a. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18, when the retainer 30 is moved in the direction of the open arrow, the tapered rollers 29 accommodated in the pockets 31 thereof also move in the same direction, that is, toward the wider side of the wedge gap 34, so that a gap is generated between each tapered roller 29 and the pinion shaft 28. As a result, the pinion shaft 28 is disengaged from the output shaft 23 and becomes rotatable, that is, it can rotate singly. When, in this state, a load is being applied to the pinion shaft 28, the pinion shaft 28 makes a one-stroke rotation.
By controlling the engagement of the tapered rollers 29 (by locking or releasing them), it is possible to cause the pinion shaft 28 to rotate by inching or to make a one-stroke rotation. The control of the engagement of the tapered rollers 29 is effected by the retainer 30 and the inner ring 15. The control by the retainer 30 and the inner ring 15 is described in detail below.
First, as shown in FIG. 19, in the state in which the lever 41 a is not operated, a torque cam portion 30 d formed on the flange portion 30 b of the retainer 30 and a torque cam portion 15 e formed on the large diameter portion 15 d of the inner ring 15 are in the positional relationship as shown in the drawing. That is, a cam surface 30 d 1 of the torque cam portion 30 d of the retainer 30 and a cam surface 15 e 1 of the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15 are in the positional relationship axially opposed to each other. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, at this time, with the retainer 30 being pressed in the direction of the arrow in the drawing by the wave washer 33, the tapered rollers 29 are engaged with the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28.
Next, when the inner ring 15 is rotated via the lever side clutch section 11 through operation of the lever 41 a, the protrusion 30 c of the retainer 30 is fit-engaged with the recess 23 h of the output shaft 23 for phase matching with the output shaft 23, so that the retainer 30 does not rotate. As a result, as shown in FIG. 20, the retainer 30 moves in the direction of the open arrow in the drawing against the elastic force of the wave washer 33, and the torque cam portion 30 d of the retainer 30 and the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15 are placed in the positional relationship as shown in the drawing. That is, the cam surface 30 d 1 of the torque cam portion 30 d of the retainer 30 moves in the direction of the solid-line arrow relative to the cam surface 15 e 1 of the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15. Due to the axial movement of the retainer 30 caused by the rotation of the inner ring 15, the tapered rollers 29 accommodated in the pockets 31 of the retainer 30 also move simultaneously to thereby cancel the engagement of the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28. Through the canceling of this engagement, the pinion shaft 28 becomes rotatable, and, when, for example, torque in the rotating direction is applied to the pinion shaft 28, the pinion shaft 28 can be caused to make a one-stroke rotation in that direction.
By controlling (locking or releasing) the engagement of the tapered rollers 29 by the retainer 30 and the inner ring 15 as described above, it is possible to cause the pinion shaft 28 to rotate by inching or to make a one-stroke rotation through operation with the lever 41 a. For example, in the case shown in FIGS. 21 through 23, by performing pumping operation on the lever 41 a counterclockwise (upwardly), the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28 are caused to rotate by inching, and, in the case shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, by performing a single operation on the lever 41 a clockwise (downwardly), the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28 are caused to make a one-stroke rotation. These operations are described in detail below.
FIG. 21 shows a neutral state in which no pumping operation is performed on the lever 41 a, FIG. 22 shows the state in which pumping operation on the lever 41 a is started, and FIG. 23 shows the state in which pumping operation is further performed on the lever 41 a. In each drawing, portion (a) is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line C-C of FIG. 1, portion (b) is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line D-D of FIG. 1, and portion (c) is a diagram schematically illustrating the operation of the torque cam portion 30 d of the retainer 30 and the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15.
First, when pumping operation is performed on the lever 41 a counterclockwise (upwardly), in the lever side clutch section 11, the rotational torque from the outer ring 14 due to the pumping operation of the lever 41 a is transmitted to the inner ring 15, and, in the brake side clutch section 12, the inner ring 15 is engaged with the cylindrical rollers 25 to press against the elastic force of the plate spring 26 due to the rotation of the inner ring 15, whereby the cylindrical rollers 25 are detached from the wedge gap 27, and the locked state of the output shaft 23 is canceled, making the output shaft 23 rotatable. When the inner ring 15 further rotates, the pins 15 b of the inner ring 15 are engaged with the pin holes 23 b of the output shaft 23, whereby the input torque from the inner ring 15 is transmitted to the output shaft 23 via the pins 15 b and the pin holes 23 b, thereby rotating the output shaft 23.
At this time, the protrusion 30 c of the retainer 30 is fit-engaged with the recess 23 h of the output shaft 23 for phase matching with the output shaft 23, so that the retainer 30 does not rotate. As a result, the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15, which has been opposed to the torque cam portion 30 d of the retainer 30, moves away therefrom in the circumferential direction. Thus, the tapered rollers 29 remain engaged with the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28, with the retainer 30 being pressed in the axial direction by the wave washer 33. Since the pinion shaft 28 thus remains engaged with the output shaft 23, the pinion shaft 28 also rotates with the rotation of the output shaft 23, so that the pinion shaft 28 rotates by inching through pumping operation of the lever 41 a. In the neutral state as shown in FIG. 21( b), the clearance angle α11 made by the two contact points (counterclockwise side) of the pin 15 b of the inner ring 15 and the pin hole 23 b of the output shaft 23 and the clearance angle β11 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 15 and the cylindrical roller 25 with respect to the rotation center O are respectively set to be equal to the clearance angle α21 made by the two contact points (counterclockwise side) of the pin 2 of the inner ring 1 and the pin hole 4 of the output shaft 3 and the clearance angle β21 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 1 and the cylindrical roller 5 with respect to the rotation center O in the conventional clutch unit shown in FIG. 24 (see Patent Document 1) (α11=α21, β11=β21).
Next, FIG. 25 shows the neutral state in which the lever 41 a is not operated, and FIG. 26 shows the state in which a single operation of lever 41 a is started. In each drawing, portion (a) is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line C-C of FIG. 1, portion (b) is an enlarged sectional view taken along the line D-D of FIG. 1, and portion (c) is a diagram schematically illustrating the operating state of the torque cam portion 30 d of the retainer 30 and the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15.
In the neutral state as shown in FIG. 25( b), the clearance angle α12 made by the two contact points (clockwise side) of the pin 15 b of the inner ring 15 and the pin hole 23 b of the output shaft 23 and the clearance angle β12 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 15 and the cylindrical roller 25 with respect to the rotation center O are respectively set to be larger than the clearance angle α22 made by the two contact points (clockwise side) of the pin 2 of the inner ring 1 and the pin hole 4 of the output shaft 3 and the clearance angle β22 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 1 and the cylindrical roller 5 with respect to the rotation center O in the conventional clutch unit shown in FIG. 27 (see Patent Document 1) (α12>α22, β12>β22).
For example, in the conventional clutch unit (see Patent Document 1), the clearance angle α22 made by the two contact points (clockwise side) of the pin 2 of the inner ring 1 and the pin hole 4 of the output shaft 3 is from 1.8 to 2.5 degrees, whereas, in the clutch unit of the embodiment, the clearance angle α12 made by the two contact points (clockwise side) of the pin 15 b of the inner ring 15 and the pin hole 23 b of the output shaft 23 is set to 10 degrees. Further, in the conventional clutch unit (see Patent Document 1), the clearance angle β22 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 1 and the cylindrical roller 5 (the clockwise side) is from 0.5 to 1.5 degrees, whereas, in the clutch unit of the embodiment, the clearance angle β12 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 15 and the cylindrical roller 25 is set to 12 degrees.
In the conventional clutch unit, the clearance angle α21 made by the two contact points (counterclockwise side) of the pin 2 of the inner ring 1 and the pin hole 4 of the output shaft 3 and the clearance angle β21 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 1 and the cylindrical roller 5, are respectively equivalent to the clearance angle β22 made by the two contact points (clockwise side) of the pin 2 of the inner ring 1 and the pin hole 4 of the output shaft 3 and the clearance angle β22 made by the two contact points of the inner ring 1 and the cylindrical roller 5 (α21=α22, β21=β22).
When, in the above-described structure, a single operation is performed on the lever 41 a clockwise, in the lever side clutch section 11, the rotational torque from the outer ring 14 due to the single operation of the lever 41 a is transmitted to the inner ring 15 to rotate the inner ring 15. On the other hand, in the brake side clutch section 12, until the pins 15 b of the inner ring 15 come into contact with the pin holes 23 b of the output shaft 23, that is, while the pins 15 b of the inner ring 15 rotates, for example, by 10 degrees, the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15, which has been opposed to the torque cam portion 30 d of the retainer 30, moves to close proximity thereto along the circumferential direction, and the cam surface 15 e 1 of the torque cam portion 15 e of the inner ring 15 moves relative to the cam surface 30 d 1 of the torque cam portion 30 of the retainer 30. As a result, the retainer 30 moves in the axial direction and, at the same time, the tapered rollers 29 accommodated in the pockets 31 of the retainer 30 move to cancel the engagement of the output shaft 23 and the pinion shaft 28. Through the canceling of this engagement, the pinion shaft 28 is made rotatable. For example, when torque is being applied to the pinion shaft 28 in the rotating direction thereof, the pinion shaft 28 makes a one-stroke rotation in that direction.
By thus disposing the rotation control clutch section 13 adjacent to the brake side clutch section 12, it is not only possible to rotate the pinion shaft 28 by inching through counterclockwise (upward) pumping operation of the lever 41 a but also to make the pinion shaft 28 rotatable through a single clockwise (downward) operation of the lever 41 a. When this clutch unit is used in a seat lifter portion of an automobile, the height of the surface of the seating seat 40 a is increased through rotation by inching of the pinion gear 28 a through counterclockwise (upward) pumping operation of the lever 41 a, and the surface of the seating seat 40 a to which a load is being applied in the rotating direction thereof is reduced in height by a one-stroke rotation of the pinion gear 28 a through clockwise (downward) single operation of the lever 41 a. In this way, at the time of a clockwise (downward) single operation of the lever 41 a, it is possible to cause the pinion shaft 28 to make a one-stroke rotation through a single lever operation, so that the complication in lever operation is eliminated, thereby achieving an improvement in terms of seat lever operability.
