Abstract
A structure of a clutch ring and a support ring includes at least one inclined contact surface provided at a tip of a tooth of the clutch ring, at least one counterpart inclined contact surface provided at a tip of a tooth of the support ring, wherein the inclined contact surface is configured to slide in a state in which the inclined contact surface is in contact with the counterpart inclined contact surface when the clutch ring and the support ring mesh with each other, such that the clutch ring and the support ring mesh with each other.
Claims6
A structure of a clutch ring and a support ring, the structure comprising:
- at least one inclined contact surface defined at a tip portion of a tooth of the clutch ring;
- at least one counterpart inclined contact surface defined at a tip portion of a tooth of the support ring;
- a sleeve connected to the clutch ring,
- wherein the at least one inclined contact surface is configured to slide in a state in which the at least one inclined contact surface is in contact with the at least one counterpart inclined contact surface, such that the clutch ring and the support ring mesh with each other,
- wherein the at least one inclined contact surface is defined at one side of the tip portion of the tooth of the clutch ring, and
- wherein the at least one inclined contact surface defines an acute angle with respect to a side surface of the tooth of the clutch ring, a distal end of the at least one inclined contact surface and a distal end of the side surface of the tooth of the clutch ring meeting to define a distal end of the tip portion of the tooth of the clutch ring,
- wherein teeth of the clutch ring including the tooth of the clutch ring are disposed along an inner-diameter portion of the clutch ring directed toward the support ring, and
- wherein teeth of the support ring including the tooth of the support ring are disposed along an outer-diameter portion of the support ring directed toward the clutch ring,
- wherein the clutch ring includes an extension portion disposed on a surface of the clutch ring, the surface of the clutch ring facing the sleeve, the extension portion extending in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the clutch ring toward the sleeve,
- wherein the sleeve includes a connection portion disposed on a surface of the sleeve, the surface of the sleeve facing the clutch ring, the connection portion extending in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the sleeve toward the clutch ring,
- wherein the extension portion is connected to the connection portion.
8 more elements
A structure of a clutch ring and a support ring, the structure comprising:
- two inclined contact surfaces defined at a tip portion of a tooth of the clutch ring;
- and
- two counterpart inclined contact surfaces defined at a tip portion of a tooth of the support ring,
- wherein the two inclined contact surfaces are configured to slide in a state in which one of the two inclined contact surfaces is in contact with one of the two counterpart inclined contact surfaces, such that the clutch ring and the support ring mesh with each other,
- wherein the two inclined contact surfaces are defined at two opposite sides of the tip portion of the tooth of the clutch ring, respectively,
- wherein a distal end of the tip portion of the tooth of the clutch ring, which is positioned between the two inclined contact surfaces defined at the two opposite sides of the tip portion of the tooth of the clutch ring, is a flat surface, and
- wherein each of the two inclined contact surfaces defines an obtuse angle with respect to the distal end of the tip portion of the tooth of the clutch ring,
- wherein the clutch ring includes an extension portion disposed on a surface of the clutch ring, the surface of the clutch ring facing a sleeve, the extension portion extending in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the clutch ring toward the sleeve,
- wherein the sleeve includes a connection portion disposed on a surface of the sleeve, the surface of the sleeve facing the clutch ring, the connection portion extending in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the sleeve toward the clutch ring,
- wherein the extension portion is connected to the connection portion.
