With a total of 4 patents to his name, Nishimura's work has garnered attention for its innovative designs and practical applications.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is for a stepless transmission. This invention features a lever crank mechanism that includes a rotational radius adjusting mechanism. This mechanism is capable of adjusting the radius of rotational motion of a cam shaft. It consists of a cam disc that rotates eccentrically with respect to a rotational center axis, a rotary disc that is also eccentric, and a pinion shaft. Notably, a pair of cam discs are provided in each rotational radius adjusting mechanism, and adjacent cam discs are formed integrally to extend across the mechanisms.
Another significant patent is for a vehicle power transmission device. In this invention, six transmission units are defined in a specific order. The phases of these units are displaced by 60 degrees in the same direction. This design minimizes the load acting on bearings supporting the input shaft, thereby reducing vibration even when unbalanced loads are generated.
