  • Patent number: 11972910
    Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor includes an electrode foil and a lead member connected to the electrode foil. The electrode foil has a first principal surface and a second principal surface opposite to the first principal surface. The electrode foil and the lead member are connected by a caulking part in an overlapping part in which the first principal surface of the electrode foil and the lead member overlap each other. The caulking part has a through-hole penetrating the electrode foil and the lead member. The electrode foil in the caulking part includes a first folded part that is folded back at a peripheral edge portion of the through-hole to be disposed on the second principal surface. The lead member in the caulking part includes (i) a penetrating part that penetrates the electrode foil and (ii) a second folded part that is folded back at an end portion of the penetrating part to be disposed on the second principal surface. The penetrating part includes an inner wall of the through-hole.

  • Patent number: 9227356
    Abstract: In a pressure vessel which is formed by blow molding a plastic liner with a mouth member fitted on a blow pin, a rotational torque is prevented from being applied between the mouth member and the blow pin when removing the blow pin. A parison is placed around the mouth member which is fitted on the blow pin, and is blow molded with a die assembly placed around the parison so that a vessel shaped plastic liner is formed. An engagement structure which is provided between the mouth member of the pressure vessel and the blow pin includes a ball moveably received in a radial through hole of the peripheral wall of the blow pin, and a release groove formed on an inner circumferential surface of the mouth member and having a prescribed depth. When the blow pin is introduced into the mouth member until the ball and the release groove oppose each other, the ball moves radially outward and becomes partly received by the release groove to engage the mouth member with the blow pin.

  • Publication number: 20140090610
    Abstract: Provided is a grill shutter configured to selectively open and close an external air intake opening formed in a front part of a vehicle body. The grill shutter includes: a frame surrounding the external air intake opening; a plurality of blades rotatably supported by the frame and driven to rotate between a closed position for closing the external air intake opening and an open position for revealing the external air intake opening; a drive unit for rotationally driving the blades; and a power transmission mechanism transmitting a drive force of the drive unit to the blades, the power transmission mechanism configured to cause the blades to start an opening movement one after another with a predetermined time lag between successive opening movements.
