  • Patent number: 9839932
    Abstract: A surface chemical treatment apparatus provided with: a first conduit having an opening at one end and communicating with a liquid supply means at the other end; a second conduit having at one end an opening that surrounds the opening of the first conduit and communicating with a liquid suction means at the other end; and a moving mechanism for moving the openings of the first and second conduits relative to the solid phase surface, so as to make a surface chemical treatment possible in a fine pattern by allowing the patterning solution to be dispensed through the opening of the first conduit while allowing the solution to be suctioned up together with the surrounding liquid phase or gas phase medium through the opening of the second conduit that surrounds the opening of the first conduit and, thus, preventing seepage of the solution in all directions.

  • Patent number: 7509739
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a full face vehicle wheel having a high durability performance, in which the back surface of a wheel disk is provided in advance with an annular joining groove. A peripheral joining end of a wheel rim is provided in advance with an inside slope end surface. The peripheral joining end is seated and positioned on the bottom surface of the annular joining groove. A welding heat confining annular region is produced between the inside groove wall of the annular joining groove and the inside slope end surface. The annular joining groove and the peripheral joining end are joined by welding.
