Patent number: 5237776Abstract: A sealing device for movable panels such as doors, windows or the like, the panels being supported by rails and comprising a pivoting member extending from the support rail, the pivoting member has first and second ends and is rotatable between a normal horizontal position and an engagible vertical position. A weighted member is attached to the first end for maintaining the pivoting member in the normal horizontal position. A sealing member extends from the second end, the sealing member is engagible against a side of the panel to seal the same only when the pivoting member is in the vertical position. The pivoting member is only movable and maintainable in the engaged vertical position by a retractable actuator means capable of applying a sufficient force to move the weighted member and maintain the pivoting member in the engaged vertical position.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1992Date of Patent: August 24, 1993Assignees: Tokyo Shutter Co., Ltd., Nichimen CorporationInventor: Kenichi Kubota

Patent number: 5199478Abstract: Air-tightening devices for folding doors and windows which are consisted of a plurality of panels connected by joint members to swivel about shafts received by bearing flanges of the joint members so that they are stretched or folded. The shafts and their bearing flanges are located outside of the plane of panels. Filler wedges air-tightly embracing said shafts and bearing flanges have smoothly resilient extensions which are coplanar with said plane and are able to make air-tight abutment with sealing liners fitted to lintel rails, independently from another sealing liners provided to lateral sides of the joint members and/or of the panels and being able to make air-tight abutment with the other sides when the panels are stretched.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1992Date of Patent: April 6, 1993Assignee: Nichimen CorporationInventor: Kenichi Kubota

Patent number: 5078145Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic device is disclosed in which ultrasonic pulses are transmitted for a subject body in changing the position and direction of a probe, and a plurality of two-dimensional tomographic image signals obtained by detecting the reflected pulses are synthesized to form a three-dimensional image. A signal for identifying the position in three-dimensional coordinates based on the position and direction of the probe at the time of detection is given to individual picture element signals composing in the detected two-dimensional tomographic image. A plurality of two-dimensional tomographic image signals having identified positions in three-dimensional coordinates are obtained by the similar processes to described in the above in changing the position and direction of the probe, and a plurality of the picture element signals having the same coordinates are addition-averaged and are stored in the memory area corresponding to the coordinates in the three-dimensional memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1990Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Nichimen CorporationInventor: Hiroshi Furuhata
