Publication number: 20120141083Abstract: An optical patch panel section is made turnable in a double-door manner, whereby workability in coupling an optical fiber to an optical connector is improved. Eventually, a compact design is provided. Owing to the compact design, a communication chassis can be loaded in the same area in a rack as an area in which an optical transmission device is stored. Not only when a network is constructed but also when a channel is switched to another because a transmission line has to be relocated due to a change in the route of the transmission line occurring after the network is constructed, or when the quality of the transmission line is varied, light level adjustment work or light dispersion adjustment work can be easily achieved from one place on the front side of the chassis.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2011Publication date: June 7, 2012Inventors: Seigo OBAYASHI, Kenichi Ogawa, Atsushi Shibata

Patent number: 6680816Abstract: An audio/control head for used in a Video Cassette Recorder or the like has a core holder 11 arranged to include positioning portions 24 and 25 for determining the pitch length P1 and pressing tabs 23 having an elasticity for pressing inwardly cores members 15 and 17 against the positioning portions 24 and 25 from the outer side. As the cores members 15 and 17 are held directly on the positioning portions 24 and 25, they are inwardly pressed by the pressing tabs 23. Then, the core pitch p1 is precisely determined between the audio core and the control core without using a particular jig during the assembly. The overall number of jigs required for mounting the cores to the core holder can be reduced. Also, the core pitch P1 can be improved in the accuracy and the characteristics of the head will be consistent.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2001Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Funai Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Matsui, Atsushi Shibata
