Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A side cover of a continuously variable transmission includes a recess portion supporting a bearing and a recess portion supporting a bearing. The recess portions are connected to each other through a lubricant path. An oil path into which a small diameter portion of a pipe-shaped member is inserted and a connection oil path connecting between the oil path and the lubricant path are connected to each other via a boss portion. The side cover includes a circumference wall portion provided with a plurality of bolt holes. The boss portion is disposed at a position between two of the bolt holes adjacent to each other in a circumference direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A driving force transmission apparatus comprising: a lubrication pipe; and a case member to which the lubrication pipe is connected, wherein the case member includes: a first supporting portion that supports a first bearing member; a second supporting portion that supports a second bearing member; a first lubricant path connecting the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion to each other; a boss portion into which the lubrication pipe is inserted, the boss portion being connected to the first lubricant path; and a plurality of bolt holes, and the boss portion is disposed at a position between two adjacent ones of the plurality of bolt holes. 2. The driving force transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first lubricant path has a shape of a straight line connecting between the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion. 3. The driving force transmission apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the boss portion and the first lubricant path are connected to each other by a second lubricant path having a shape of a straight line. 4. The driving force transmission apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the first lubricant path and the second lubricant path are orthogonal to each other. 5. The driving force transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the lubrication pipe has a lubricant injection hole through which a lubricant is injected toward a pulley of the driving force transmission apparatus.
