Publication number: 20060273274Abstract: An electromagnetic fuel injection valve is provided that includes a fuel inlet tube (26) extending from an outer end of a hollow fixed core (5), and a retainer pipe (23) that is inserted from the fuel inlet tube (26) into a hollow portion (21) of the fixed core (5) and supports a fixed end of a valve spring (22). The fuel inlet tube (26) is formed from a high hardness magnetic material, a retainer pipe 23-facing portion of the fuel inlet tube (26) is heated so as to form a softened region A, and this softened region A of the fuel inlet tube (26) is crimped toward the retainer pipe (23) so as to fix the retainer pipe (23) to the fuel inlet tube (26). In this way, even when the fuel inlet tube is formed from a high hardness magnetic material, the retainer pipe can be reliably fixed to the fuel inlet tube by crimping.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2004Publication date: December 7, 2006Inventor: Takahiro Nagaoka

Patent number: 7140400Abstract: A reverse rotational number of a binding wire feed mechanism is set such that a binding wire is completely pulled back regardless of a boldness or flexibility of the binding wire, a diameter of a reinforcing bar or the like. A driven gear 14 having a V groove of the binding wire feed mechanism is brought into elastic contact with a main drive gear 13 having a V groove by a spring and the binding wire is fed by pinching the binding wire by the main drive gear 13 having the V groove and the driven gear 14 having the V groove. After feeding out the binding wire to form a loop around the reinforcing bar and clamping a front end of the binding wire by a twist mechanism, the binding wire feed mechanism is rotated reversely and the binding wire is pulled back to be wound around the reinforcing bar.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2003Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Max Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasushi Yokochi, Ichiro Kusakari, Takahiro Nagaoka, Osamu Itagaki

Patent number: 7051650Abstract: A twisting shaft 33 and a remover 34 fitted around the twisting shaft 33 are provided with forks 37, 44 at their respective front portions, and hooks 38 bent from front ends of the forks of the twisting shaft in the forward rotational direction are provided. The remover is rotatable by a one-way stopper mechanism in the forward direction only. When the twisting shaft and remover are rotated forward, a binding wire loop is hung on the hooks 38 and twisted. When the twisting shaft is reversely rotated after the completion of the twisting operation, the remover stops being rotated by the one-way stopper mechanism, and the twisting shaft alone is reversely rotated. As a result, the hooks 38 hide themselves behind the forks 44 of the remover 34, and the binding wire engaged with the hooks 38 is pressed by the forks 44 and removed.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2002Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Max Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ichiro Kusakari, Takahiro Nagaoka

Publication number: 20050005991Abstract: A front end of a ball screw shaft driven by a motor is connected with a binding line clamp apparatus (513) including three clamp plates (514, 515, 516). The left and right clamp plates (515, 516) are constituted to be brought into elastic contact with the center clamp plate (515) and close the left and right clamp plates by operation of cams (527, 528) when a sleeve is moved rearward. In a state of opening the clamp plates, a binding line is fed out to an upper side by passing through an interval between the right clamp plate (515) and the center clamp plate (514), formed in a loop shape and moved into an interval between the left clamp plate (516) and the center clamp plate (517). When the sleeve is moved rearward by driving to rotate a ball screw shaft, the left and right clamp plates are closed to grasp a front end and a rear end of the binding line loop and thereafter, the binding line clamp apparatus is rotated to twist the binding line to bind a reinforcing bar.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2002Publication date: January 13, 2005Inventors: Noboru Ishikawa, Ichiro Kusakari, Takahiro Nagaoka, Osamu Itagaki, Yasushi Yokochi

Patent number: 6441335Abstract: In welding joint surfaces of a high-hardness member and a low-hardness member to each other by use of a laser beam or an electron beam, the point of irradiation of the laser beam or electron beam is offset from the joint surfaces of the high-hardness member and the low-hardness member toward the low-hardness member by a predetermined distance, such that the melting provided by the beam is caused to spread from the low-hardness member to the high-hardness member. Thus, even if the two members different in hardness from each other are welded together by use. of the laser beam or electron beam, it is possible to avoid a poor weld, which would otherwise cause a cracking in the high-hardness member.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2000Date of Patent: August 27, 2002Assignee: Keihin CorporationInventor: Takahiro Nagaoka
