  • Patent number: 11878514
    Abstract: Provided are a blowing unit, a drying device, a liquid applying system, and a printing system with which it is possible to realize uniformly blowing air via a plurality of jetting ports. In a blowing unit that has a hollow structure and blows air via a plurality of jetting ports disposed at a first surface, a gas inflow port through which a gas supplied from a gas supply source flows in is formed in a second surface which intersects the first surface and at which the jetting ports are not disposed and a ratio of a sum of opening areas of the plurality of jetting ports to an opening area of the gas inflow port is equal to or larger than 0.1 and equal to or smaller than 1.0.

  • Publication number: 20230041578
    Abstract: To provide a vehicular lamp that can improve the degree of freedom in the arrangement position of a road surface irradiation unit. The vehicular lamp comprises a road surface irradiation unit for forming an irradiation pattern around the vehicle with light from a light emitting portion for a road surface; and a shielding part for covering the light emitting portion for the road surface when the road surface irradiation unit is viewed from the front. The vehicular lamp may further comprise a lamp unit housed in a lamp chamber together with the road surface irradiation unit, and the road surface irradiation unit may be turned on and off interlocked with the lamp unit.

  • Patent number: 10982833
    Abstract: The vehicle lamp of the present invention includes: a first light source that emits light for low-beam light distribution; a lens arranged in a front side of the first light source; a shade that is arranged between the first light source and the lens and forms a cut-off line of a low-beam light distribution pattern; a reflector that reflects light from the first light source towards the lens; and a second light source that is arranged between the first light source and the lens and emits light for high-beam additional light distribution. A rear focal point of the lens is located more to a front side than a second focal point which is a focal point on a front side of the reflector, and a lens optical axis of the lens is inclined forward and obliquely downward with respect to a lamp optical axis of the lamp.

  • Patent number: 10953790
    Abstract: A vehicle front headlight device includes: a fixed illumination section configured to shine light toward a first illuminated region at a lower side ahead of a vehicle; a variable illumination section that selectively adopts either an illumination angle from which light is shone toward a second illuminated region further ahead of the vehicle than and at an upper side of the first illuminated region, or a depiction angle from which a depicted pattern is shone toward a depiction region nearer to the vehicle than the first illuminated region; a support member to which the fixed illumination section being attached; a retention section that retains the variable illumination section and is supported by the support member so that it can pivot about an axial direction running along a vehicle width direction; and a drive section that causes the retention section to selectively adopt either the illumination angle or the depiction angle.
