  • Publication number: 20170021262
    Abstract: In an inclined golf mat laid and used in a golf practice range or the like, to simplify structure and enable a reduction in weight, reduce a price, and improve versatility. In the inclined golf mat, a surface section including an inclined surface is detachably attached to an upper side of a base. A first fitting section is provided on an upper surface of the base, and a first section to be fit that fits with the first fitting section is provided on a lower surface of the surface section. A golf mat assembly is assembled by coupling a plurality of the inclined golf mats in the horizontal direction.

  • Patent number: 9431165
    Abstract: An inductor including: a core having a winding core portion for winding a winding wire and two flange portions disposed on both ends of the winding core portion; and a winding wire wound around the winding core portion for multiple layers, the winding wire including: a forward winding layer having multiple turns on the winding core portion along a forward direction from one of the two flange portions toward the other flange portion; a backward winding layer following the forward winding layer and having at least one turn on the forward winding layer along a backward direction opposite to the forward direction; and a return winding portion following the backward winding layer and passing over the backward winding layer in the forward direction to reach the winding core portion on the forward direction side of the forward winding layer within less than 1/2 turn.

  • Patent number: 8540855
    Abstract: The water battery device has a sterilizing unit composed of a non-noble metal body and a noble metal body that are overlapped coaxially via an interval keeping member. The sterilizing unit is disposed in a passing water or flowing water or immersed in a stored water. Then, a battery action is generated via the water at a uniform clearance space between the non-noble metal body and the noble metal body. Thereby, metal ions are dissolved in a complete ionization state from the non-noble metal body, thereby giving sterilization effect to the water. A container has a container structure that generates an electric current in the water between the non-noble metal body and the noble metal body and that maintains an oxygen concentration in the water required to continually produce the battery action water.

  • Patent number: 7355306
    Abstract: A drive motor is supported and fixed onto a motor support plate composing a support member through vibration proof rubber which damps vibration, the frequency of which is not less than 1 kHz. Due to the foregoing, it becomes difficult for the vibration generated from the drive motor itself, to be transmitted to the support member so that the generation of resonance noise can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20070170790
    Abstract: A drive motor 42 is supported and fixed onto a motor support plate 44 composing a support member through vibration proof rubber 45 which damps vibration, the frequency of which is not less than 1 kHz, to be not more than 50%. Due to the foregoing, it becomes difficult for the vibration generated from the drive motor 42 itself, the frequency of which is not less than 1 kHz, to be transmitted to the support member so that the generation of resonance noise can be prevented. Further, a protrusion 44a is provided on a surface of the motor support plate 44 and the resonance frequency of the support member is adjusted to be not less than 1 kHz. Due to the foregoing, even when the vibration of the drive motor 42, the frequency of which is lower than 1 kHz, is transmitted to the support member, resonance noise is not generated.

  • Patent number: 6397609
    Abstract: In a vehicle air-conditioning system, plural electrical members such as a blower controller, servomotors and a post-evaporator temperature sensor are collectively disposed on an electrical circuit board integrally formed with an evaporator case cover for closing a side surface of an evaporator case. Therefore, a wire structure of an electrical connection or a wire harness can be made simple. Further, because an elastically deformable sensor-pressing portion for pressing the post-evaporator sensor toward an evaporator side surface is integrally formed with the evaporator case cover integrated with the electrical circuit board, a contact pressure of a temperature sensitive portion of the post-evaporator sensor onto the evaporator side surface can be maintained.
