  • Patent number: 10634348
    Abstract: Spread of leaking combustion exhaust or the like is suppressed and a thermal fuse is made to operate in definitive fashion. A back flange is made to protrude so as to be directed toward a rear wall of an outer casing from a joint between a combustor casing and a heat exchanger casing to a location in the vicinity of the rear wall. A thermal fuse is arranged about the periphery of the heat exchanger casing so as to extend along a region near a protruding end edge of the back flange. The back flange is provided with a through hole, and combustion exhaust which leaks from the combustor casing is guided to the thermal fuse. A back flange which is similar thereto is installed at an upper location so as to straddle a tubing elbow. The two flanges are made to protrude beyond the tubing elbow.

  • Patent number: 6068224
    Abstract: A camera supporting structure comprises a plurality of flexible legs (2) each of which has a leg supporting member (3) at an end thereof, a first member (4) and a second member (5) arranged parallel to each other at a spaced interval for supporting said flexible legs, and a camera attaching screw (1) for attaching the camera to the first member and the second member, said first member being placed adjacent to the camera attached and having an inner screw (42) engaging with said camera attaching screw. By screwing the camera attaching screw into the inner screw, the leg supporting members are supported between the first member and the second member. The camera is screwed onto the camera supporting structure by the camera attaching screw and abutted onto a setting place by bending the flexible legs. The flexible legs are adjustably bent to support the camera that is oriented toward a subject of the photograph.

  • Patent number: 5918886
    Abstract: A keyless drill chuck includes a raising-and-lowering member which moves back and forth with reference to a shaft in order to secure a rear portion of the cutting tool, and jaws which grip the cutting tool in association with the movement of the raising-and-lowering member toward the jaws while the internal diameter of a circle defined by the jaws. The rear portion of the cutting tool is automatically gripped without the use of a chuck handle by means of a machining resistance transmitted to the jaws from the cutting tool and of the movement of the raising-and-lowering member caused by torsional torque transmitted to a shaft. A V-shaped recess is formed in the end of the raising-and-lowering member facing the jaws, so that the rear portion of the cutting tool can be removable, yet attached to the V-shaped recess.
