  • Patent number: 7426882
    Abstract: A gear-shifting device 50 for a manual transmission comprises a shift arm 53, which is rotatable in correspondence to the shift operation of a change-lever L, and shift pieces 41, 43 and 45, each of which shifts in correspondence to the rotation of the shift arm 53, with this shifting of the shift piece 41 achieving a gear shift. The gear-shifting device 50 further comprises a load-attenuating mechanism 90, which includes a spline groove 51b, a fitting room 91, a steel ball 92 and a coned spring 93. In the attenuating mechanism, the steel ball 92 is pushed to the spline groove 51b by the coned spring 93, allowing the shift arm 53 to rotate with respect to the shift selector shaft 51 to reduce the load acting on the change-lever L from synchro-sleeves 71, 73 and 75.

  • Patent number: 7258291
    Abstract: A destructive device, wherein treated material (1) including a foam body is pre-compressed in thickness direction and fed to the opposed part of a pair of compression rolls (21, 22), partition walls forming independent air bubbles in the foam body is destructed by the compression rolls (21, 22) and foam gas is arrested into a cover (3) installed on the outlet side of the compression rolls (21, 22), the foam gas is liquefied and separated by a cooling and liquefying device (6) through a cooling device (15) after pressurized, together with medium gas (41) for collection, by a pressurizing device (5), and the medium gas for collection from which the foam gas is separated is returned into the cover (3), whereby, since the foam gas is liquefied and separated in pressurized state by the cooling and liquefying device (6) by arresting the foam gas in high density inside the cover (3), the device can be remarkably downsized and simplified, and a device cost and an operation cost can also be remarkably reduced.

  • Patent number: 6532144
    Abstract: In an electric double layer capacitor, at least three frame-shaped gaskets are stacked. A cell member of a pair of polarized electrodes sandwiching a porous separator is accommodated within a central gasket so as to be sandwiched between a pair of current collectors. Upper and lower frame shaped gaskets are adhered on both side edges of the central gasket such that the current collectors are sandwiched and held with two gaskets confronting to seal the inside of the central gasket. A step portion is formed in an inner peripheral end surface of at least one of the gaskets confronting such that each of the side edges of the collectors is received in this step portion, whereby making it easy to position the current collector in the gasket. This step portion also makes it possible to bond the current collector to the gasket at a low stress.

    Abstract: In an electric double layer capacitor of the present invention, at least three frame-shaped gaskets are stacked. A cell member of a couple of polarized electrodes sandwiching a porous separator is accommodated within a central gasket so as to be sandwiched between a pair of current collectors. Upper and lower frame shaped gaskets are adhered on both ends side of the central gasket such that the current collectors are sandwiched and held with two gaskets confronting to seal the inside of the central gasket.

  • Patent number: 6065196
    Abstract: The piezoelectric layers of a laminated piezoelectric transformer include outermost ceramic layers having first openings defined therein for connection to inner electrodes. The inner electrodes comprise full-face electrodes, each of the inner electrodes having a second opening defined in a corner thereof and filled with an electrically conductive electrode and a third opening defined in another corner thereof and filled with an electrically conductive electrode surrounded by an electrode-free gap. The piezoelectric layers are stacked such that the inner electrodes are alternately electrically interconnected through the-second and third openings which are alternately superposed one on another. The electric generator comprises piezoelectric layers and web-shaped inner electrodes. Each of the web-shaped inner electrodes has a fourth opening defined in at least one end thereof and filled with an electrically conductive electrode.
