  • Patent number: 9073113
    Abstract: This method for clinching a can cover has a small diameter center panel formed from a center panel, ring-shaped reinforcing groove, chuck wall, and curled part in which the ratio of the center panel diameter and can cover diameter is 0.65-0.75. The chuck wall is provided with a first inclined part and a second inclined part that are inclined toward the outside. When a flange tip part of a can body and the curled part of the can cover are superimposed in a virtual horizontal plane, a lower end part of the second inclined part or a second curved part that connects the first inclined part and second inclined part is positioned in a position in a range of an angle of 0°-35° to a virtual horizontal plane passing through the center of the curve of a rounded part of the flange.

  • Patent number: 6442123
    Abstract: An optical information storage device for directing an incident light beam onto a recording medium having a recording surface composed of lands and grooves as tracks and detecting a reproduced signal from a reflected light beam from the recording medium. The optical information storage device includes a phase plate provided in an optical path of the reflected light beam so as to be tiltable between a first position where the phase plate gives to the reflected light beam a first phase compensation amount required for detection of signals from the lands and a second position where the phase plate gives to the reflected light beam a second phase compensation amount required for detection of signals from the grooves; and a drive mechanism for tilting the phase plate. Examples of the drive mechanism include a solenoid, DC motor, and voice coil motor.
