Abstract
Abstract An oil type damper comprises a housing, a rotator formed of a hollow shaft and a braking disk, a flexible membrane, a toothed wheel secured to the leading end of the aforementioned hollow shaft, and oil introduced via the hollow shaft into the housing. Since the oil is introduced through the hollow shaft into the housing after the rotator and the flexible membrane have been set in place inside the housing, the work of filling the damper with oil is easy. The flexible membrane absorbs thermal expansion of the oil and precludes otherwise possible oil leakage.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
An oil type damper, comprising in combination a housing formed of a base and a cap; a rotator formed of a braking disk set in place inside said housing and a hollow shaft extending outwardly from said braking disk and provided with an axial hollow part, said disk being fixed to said hollow shaft, the hollow part of said hollow shaft communicating with the interior of said housing; a flexible membrane mounted around said hollow shaft of said rotator and secured by the circumferential boundary of said membrane to said housing and set in place inside said housing; a toothed wheel adapted to transmit rotational force and having means to secure said toothed wheel to the leading end of said hollow shaft of said rotator extending out of said housing so as to close the outward extremity of the hollow part of said hollow shaft; and oil to fill up the space surrounding said rotator said hollow shaft defining oil passage means permitting said oil to be supplied through said hollow part of said hollow shaft of said rotator after said rotator and said flexible membrane have been set in place inside said housing but before said toothed wheel is secured to said hollow shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
An oil type damper, comprising in combination a housing formed of a base and a cap; a rotator formed of a braking disk set in place inside said housing and a hollow shaft extending outwardly from said braking disk and provided with an axial hollow part, said disk being fixed to said hollow shaft, the hollow part of said hollow shaft communicating with the interior of said housing; a flexible membrane mounted around said hollow shaft of said rotator and secured by the circumferential boundary of said membrane to said housing and set in place inside said housing; a toothed wheel adapted to transmit rotational force and having means to secure said toothed wheel to the leading end of said hollow shaft of said rotator extending out of said housing so as to close the outward extremity of the hollow part of said hollow shaft; and oil to fill up the space surrounding said rotator said hollow shaft defining oil passage means permitting said oil to be supplied through said hollow part of said hollow shaft of said rotator after said rotator and said flexible membrane have been set in place inside said housing but before said toothed wheel is secured to said hollow shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
An oil type damper according to claim 1, wherein said braking disk is provided with window holes in the disk wall thereof.
