Patent number: 8430375Abstract: A foam filling member that can hold a foam sheet in a looped shape stably, without increasing the number of components, to provide improved vibration suppression and sound insulation. The strip-like foam sheet is formed in a looped shape by bending round it, so that both end portions of the foam sheet are overlapped with each other in a thickness direction thereof to form an overlapped portion therein. Then, insertion shafts of a clip are inserted through the overlapped portion, so that the overlapped portion is held in sandwich relation between a base portion and a head portion to form a foam filling member. Then, a supporting portion of the fixing portion of the clip is inserted in a fixing hole of an inner panel and fixed to the inner panel.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2010Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Kazuhiko Kinpara, Shinji Muto, Shinpei Nishikawa, Takehiro Ul

Patent number: 7985459Abstract: A foam filling member having a foaming base material in sheet form which is simplified in structure so that it can be formed into a predetermined shape corresponding to a shape of a space of a structure with an improved working efficiency and can also be placed in a space of the structure with an improved working efficiency, without any need of the sticking to a wall surface of a partition wall defining the space of the structure. Incisions 4, 5, 6, 7, cut in partway along a thickness direction of the foaming base material 2 along a bending portion and cuts 9, 10 passing through in the thickness direction are formed in the foaming base material 2. By simply bending or folding the foaming base material 2 along the incisions 4, 5, 6, 7 and the cuts 9, 10, the foam filling member 1 can be formed in a three-dimensional shape corresponding to an interior space of a pillar and thus can be set in place in the interior space.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Shinji Muto, Kazuhiko Kinpara, Takehiro Ui

Patent number: 7544393Abstract: The susceptor of a plasma treating device, or the electrostatic chuck of a substrate table, is formed by ceramic thermal spray method. A thermally sprayed ceramic layer is pore-sealed by methacrylic resin. Resin raw material mainly containing methyl methacrylate is applied to and impregnated into the thermally sprayed ceramic layer and then is cured to thereby fill pores between ceramic particles in the thermally sprayed ceramic layer with methacrylic resin. Methacrylic resin raw material solution, which does not produce pores at curing, can complete perfect pore sealing.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2006Date of Patent: June 9, 2009Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Shinji Muto, Chihiro Taguchi, Nobuyuki Okayama
