Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A transaxle comprises a hydrostatic transmission (hereinafter, “HST”), an axle, a gear train transmitting power from the HST to the axle, a casing carrying the HST, the gear train and the axle and providing a fluid sump. The casing has an air space over the fluid sump of a gear chamber, a breather cap for ventilation of the air space and for an oil cap is installed on a top part of the casing, and a partition plate is installed right under the breather cap and prevents the fluid sup facing directly to the breather cap.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A transaxle comprising: a hydrostatic transmission (hereinafter, “HST”); an axle; a gear train transmitting power from the HST to the axle; a casing carrying the HST, the gear train and the axle and providing a fluid sump, wherein the casing has an air space over the fluid sump of a gear chamber, a breather cap for ventilation of the air space and for an oil filler cap is installed on a top part of the casing, and a partition plate is installed right under the breather cap and prevents the fluid sump facing directly to the breather cap. 2. The transaxle according to claim 1 , wherein the partition plate is switchable to an open-state opening right under the breather cap or to a close-state closing right under the breather cap. 3. The transaxle according to claim 1 , wherein the partition plate has a through hole opened on a baffle plate and a blocking part closing the through hole, and wherein the blocking part opening the through hole makes the partition plate an open-state.
