Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein is a lubrication mechanism in a parallel dual-shaft type gear transmission which includes intermediate plate arranged between a transmission case and an extension housing and an output shaft and a counter shaft arranged in parallel relation in the transmission case. The lubrication mechanism comprises an oil guiding rib formed along an outer circumference of a small diametrical counter gear arranged in the vicinity of the intermediate plate. With this arrangement, a lubricating oil may be sufficiently supplied to desired areas in the gear transmission by means of a small diametrical counter gear.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A dual-shaft type gear transmission comprising: an intermediate plate arranged between a transmission case and an extension housing; an output shaft; a counter shaft arranged in said transmission case in parallel relation to and below said output shaft, said counter shaft including at least two counter gears of varying diameters, the smallest diameter counter gear being arranged in the vicinity of said intermediate plate; and an oil guiding rib formed on said intermediate plate along an outer circumference of and spaced a predetermined distance from said smallest diameter counter gear.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A dual-shaft type gear transmission comprising: an intermediate plate arranged between a transmission case and an extension housing; an output shaft; a counter shaft arranged in said transmission case in parallel relation to and below said output shaft, said counter shaft including at least two counter gears of varying diameters, the smallest diameter counter gear being arranged in the vicinity of said intermediate plate; and an oil guiding rib formed on said intermediate plate along an outer circumference of and spaced a predetermined distance from said smallest diameter counter gear.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A lubrication mechanism as defined in claim 1, wherein said oil guiding rib is formed integrally with said intermediate plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
