  • Patent number: 11845275
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a liquid discharge head includes a flexible printed circuit (FPC) connected to piezoelectric elements. The FPC has a first end in the first direction. A wiring layer of the FPC has a first region at the first end and a cover layer covering on a second region. The piezoelectric elements are spaced from each other in a second direction and each has a first electrode on a side surface facing towards the FPC. The first side has a joint surface facing the first region of the wiring layer. The first electrode is electrically connected to the wiring layer at the joint surface. The side surface includes a step portion that is recessed from the joint surface. A portion of the cover layer protrudes into a space adjacent to the step portion.

  • Patent number: 5267683
    Abstract: An apparatus for assembling a motorcar vehicle body by welding right and left side panels to other vehicle body constituting members such as a floor panel, a roof panel and the like. A movable frame is provided respectively on right side and left side of an assembling station into which the other vehicle body constituting members are brought. The movable frame is movable back and forth between a laterally outward waiting position and a laterally inward welding position. A pair of presetting apparatuses respectively moves a presetting jig into and out of a space between the assembling station and the respective movable frame which is in the waiting position. The presetting jig holds a plurality of parts which constitute the side panel in a predetermined positional relationship. A setting jig is detachably mounted on the respective movable frame and receives the plurality of parts from the presetting jig.
