  • Publication number: 20230207978
    Abstract: Provided is an electrical storage device that is compact and can be manufactured easily, while allowing for use of higher voltages. In an electrical storage device, a winding structure comprises: a central electrode body in which a first extending part and a second extending part extending from either side of a central portion are wound around the central portion in the same direction; a first electrode body electrically connected to a first external terminal and extending toward an outer peripheral side from a vicinity of the central portion; a second electrode body electrically connected to a second external terminal and extending toward the outer peripheral side from a vicinity of the central portion; a first separator disposed between the central electrode body and the first electrode body; and a second separator disposed between the central electrode body and the second electrode body.

  • Publication number: 20200276523
    Abstract: A pressure control device includes: a body having groove-like channel containing a groove part and a widened part; a filter unit having a cylindrical frame formed of an elastic material and including a through hole part penetrating in a direction orthogonal to a central axis and a plate-shaped filter member disposed to cover the through hole part and supported on an inner side of the frame. The filter unit is accommodated in the widened part with a direction of the central axis of the frame being arranged along a depth direction of the widened part; and a separate plate installed to the body to cover the groove-like channel in a state in which the filter unit is accommodated in the widened part. The frame has a length along the central axis greater than a depth of the widened part.

  • Patent number: 9657851
    Abstract: A spool switching valve device may include a columnar spool housing and spherical valve bodies. The spool housing includes first input port cavity portions, valve body movable portions and valve seat members. Each valve seat member has a through hole and includes a second input port portion. A second valve seat portion is provided to open and close the gap between valve body movable portion and the second input port portion. Each valve body movable portion includes an output port penetrating the side surface of the spool housing to communicate with the outside of the spool. Each valve seat mounting portion includes an engagement receiving portion suppressing the detachment of the valve seat members when the valve seat member is actually mounted. Each valve seat member includes an engagement portion fitted into the engagement receiving portion when the valve seat member is mounted to the valve seat mounting portion.
