Patent number: 11553652Abstract: A grafting device includes: a transfer unit configured to transfer, in a predetermined direction, a grafted seedling that is in a state where a cut surface of a graft and a cut surface of a rootstock are closely attached to each other; a tape supply unit configured to arrange a tape on a transfer path of the grafted seedling in such a manner that the tape is allowed to be pulled out; a pull-out member configured to transfer through the transfer path in advance of the grafted seedling to pull out the tape from the tape supply unit, and sandwich a closely attached part of the grafted seedling between a first part of the tape and a second part facing the first part; and a welding unit configured to cover a periphery of the closely attached part of the grafted seedling with the tape and weld the tape.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: NATIONAL AGRICULTURE AND FOOD RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONInventors: Natsuki Nakayama, Keita Yoshinaga, Loan Thi Thanh Nguyen, Takashi Furuyama, Hitoshi Takahashi

Patent number: 11370287Abstract: This vehicle body substructure includes side sill load transmitting members that are provided inside each of side sills, a floor cross-member that is provided on one of an upper surface and a lower surface of a floor panel laid between the side sills and has extending portions extending toward upper portions of the side sill load transmitting members, an underfloor mounting component that is provided below the floor panel and includes an underfloor cross-member, underfloor frames that are attached to lower portions of the underfloor mounting component and the side sills, and underfloor load transmitting members that are provided in the underfloor frames and face the underfloor cross-member. The underfloor load transmitting member has an upper half portion which faces a lower portion of the side sill load transmitting members, and a lower half portion which is fixed to a part of each of the underfloor frames attached to a lower portion of each of the side sills.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2018Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Takumi Tsuyuzaki, Shogo Imamura, Shigeki Morie, Keita Yoshinaga, Hiroyuki Ozawa, Takashi Nitta, Takashi Yamada, Yasuyuki Shibata

Patent number: 9022152Abstract: In an automobile body structure, since a floor panel disposed beneath left and right side sills and a battery support frame includes a center tunnel protruding upwardly and extending in the vehicle body fore-and-aft direction, and a main body portion of the battery support frame and the floor panel are connected via a linking bracket, it is possible to reinforce the battery support frame with the floor panel and prevent the battery support frame from warping into an arc shape and being bent by the collision load of a side collision and, moreover, since even if the battery support frame is formed into a straight line shape, interference with the center tunnel can be avoided, it is possible to reliably make the battery support frame buckle when the collision load of a side collision is inputted thereinto, thus enhancing the ability to absorb the energy of a collision.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2011Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shogo Imamura, Takafumi Hiragi, Keita Yoshinaga
