  • Patent number: 7308804
    Abstract: A defrosting heater in a refrigerator with a flammable refrigerant sealed therein, including a first glass tube (53) having a heater wire (52) inside thereof, a plug (58) covering both end opening parts of the first glass tube (53) and a second glass tube (54), a lead wire (55) piercing the plug (58) and connected to an end of the heater wire (52), and a positioning plate (57) disposed on a connection part of the lead wire (55) with the heater wire (52). Flame propagation can be prevented by setting the size of a space (58b) formed by the plug (58) and the positioning plate (59) according to the sealing quantity of the flammable refrigerant and the surface temperature of the heater wire (52), and an unstable state in a defrosting mode is prevented even when the flammable refrigerant leaks.

  • Patent number: 7215879
    Abstract: A defrost heater, in which the strength of an insertion force needed for inserting a second glass tube in a plug is specified to be smaller than that needed for inserting a first glass tube in a plug. Thereby, dispersion in the insertion force needed for attaching the plug with a double glass tube can be reduced, and the assembling efficiency is improved.

  • Patent number: 7201007
    Abstract: The automatic ice making device includes ice sensor for detecting ice-making in ice chill tray, heater for heating ice to separate the ice from ice chill tray, motor rotating discharging member for discharging ice from ice chill tray, position detecting switch for detecting rotating position of discharging member, ice storage amount detecting switch for detecting overs and shorts of discharged and stored ice, water supply valve for supplying water to ice chill tray, and controller for controlling electric conduction to heater and motor. When power supply to controller is once interrupted and re-started, ice storage amount detecting switch detects shortage of ice so as to hold motor not to drive until ice sensor detects temperature below a predetermined temperature.

  • Patent number: 7152424
    Abstract: An ice tray includes a tray section and a heater. The tray section has a first face and a second face opposite to the first face. The first face temporarily retains water and the water is cooled to make ice. The heater is unitarily molded with the tray section at the second face, and warms the tray section for the ice to come off the tray section.

  • Patent number: 7093456
    Abstract: A drive device of an automatic ice machine turns over an ice tray in which ice has been made. This is done to separate the ice. The drive device includes a motor, a first output shaft and a second output shaft having positional relation of mutually crossing, and a reduction gear for reducing rotation of the motor and transmitting respectively different driving forces to the first output shaft and the second output shaft. The second output shaft crushes ice, and the first output shaft separates ice from the ice tray. In this manner the ice is made rocky without roundness.

  • Patent number: 6938428
    Abstract: An ice tray driving device has a mesh start section. The mesh start section includes a raised tooth formed by projecting at least one tooth of each of two output gears in the tooth width direction, a column section axially adjacent to the driving gear, a recessed tooth disposed in the column section and formed so as to mesh with the raised tooth, and a slide member for blocking the recessed tooth of the column section at a predetermined position. When the driving gear rotates one of the two output gears, the slide member keeps the blockage of the recessed tooth with respect to the raised tooth of the output gear that is not rotated to prevent the meshing. Thus, the meshing is started only by facing the raised tooth to the recessed tooth, the driving gear and the entire ice tray driving device can be downsized.

  • Patent number: 6899541
    Abstract: The life log or journal is directed to produce a record of the life of a child by parent and child, explicitly divided into a fetus era, newborn era, school era, grown-up era, and mature-age era, guiding a parent to write down a record when the child is too young to write for himself/herself, and guiding the child to write for himself/herself when the child grows up. In the region guiding the parent to write down a record, an instruction is printed to inspire the parent to facilitate writing down events of the child's development on occasion together with the parent's feelings at that time. As a result, a life log can be produced, leaving the affection devoted from the parent to child in a visual form so that the parent and child can share affection, joy and emotions throughout the childhood and adulthood of the child.

  • Patent number: 6896331
    Abstract: A seat structure includes a seat plate, a backrest plate adjustable in inclination angle, and a bridging member covering up a flexion portion between the seat plate and the backrest plate for bridging the seat plate and the backrest plate smoothly. The bridging member is a member shaped like a thin flat plate having a flexural elasticity and stably supports a baby's buttocks while dispersing a body pressure with its entire surface. This structure can provide such a seat structure that can prevent local loads from acting on the buttocks both in the form of a bed and in the form of a chair.

  • Patent number: 6819216
    Abstract: A thermostat includes a wall plate unitarily molded of thermoplastic resin, a first metal plate holding a temperature sensing section, and a second metal plate holding a cam shaft. A fulcrum of a lever and a fulcrum of adjusting plate are protected by the wall plate and they are not exposed to the outside. Since both the fulcrums are not exposed to the outside, the fulcrums are free from being touched with foreign matters. This thermostat thus prevents a temperature set therein from changing.

  • Publication number: 20040177638
    Abstract: An ice tray driving device has a mesh start section. The mesh start section includes a raised tooth formed by projecting at least one tooth of each of two output gears in the tooth width direction, a column section axially adjacent to the driving gear, a recessed tooth disposed in the column section and formed so as to mesh with the raised tooth, and a slide member for blocking the recessed tooth of the column section at a predetermined position. When the driving gear rotates one of the two output gears, the slide member keeps the blockage of the recessed tooth with respect to the raised tooth of the output gear that is not rotated to prevent the meshing. Thus, the meshing is started only by facing the raised tooth to the recessed tooth, the driving gear and the entire ice tray driving device can be downsized.
