Patent number: 10605453Abstract: A conduit made of a synthetic resin, having an inner surface and an outer surface, having concave portions and convex portions alternately and continuously provided in the length direction. The conduit is bendable. The conduit includes outer wall parts extending with a first width in the length direction; inner wall parts positioned radially inside relative to the outer wall parts and extending with a second width in the length direction; and side wall parts joining the outer wall parts and the inner wall parts so that the outer wall parts and the inner wall parts are alternately and continuously provided in the length direction. The outer surfaces of the outer wall parts each have, at both ends in the length direction, protruding parts, which protrude in the radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignees: NORTIZ CORPORATION, TOKYO GAS LIVING ENGINEERING CO., LTD., MIRAI INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Masaki Sugatani, Takanori Nagano, Hironao Matsunaga, Takahide Hasegawa, Yasuhide Sato, Kiyomi Kanamoto, Hirokazu Kawamura, Shohei Matsuda

Patent number: 10415827Abstract: An exhaust adapter secures an exhaust tube relative to an exhaust pipe. The exhaust adapter is formed to have an annular shape enclosing a through hole, and is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube and on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe by inserting the exhaust tube into the through hole. When the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust tube, and when the exhaust adapter is being fitted on the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe, the outer peripheral surface of the exhaust adapter presses the inner peripheral surface of the exhaust pipe.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2017Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: NORITZ CORPORATIONInventors: Takanori Nagano, Koji Shimomura

Patent number: 10295181Abstract: An exhaust connection structure is constructed to connect a combustion apparatus and an exhaust tube having projections and recesses in an outer surface. The exhaust connection structure has a sealing member arranged on an outer circumferential surface of the exhaust tube and an exhaust joint arranged to sandwich the sealing member between the exhaust joint and the outer circumferential surface of the exhaust tube. The exhaust joint includes an engagement member and the engagement member has an annular portion and an engaging portion bent toward an inner circumference of the annular portion. The engaging portion is engaged with the projections and recesses in the exhaust tube.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignees: NORITZ CORPORATION, TOKYO GAS LIVING ENGINEERING CO., LTD., Mirai Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaki Sugatani, Takanori Nagano, Hironao Matsunaga, Takahide Hasegawa, Kiyomi Kanamoto, Yasuhide Satoh, Shohei Matsuda

Patent number: 10071474Abstract: A cutting guide serves to adjust a length of an exhaust tube introduced in an exhaust pipe so as to adapt to combination of the exhaust pipe communicating from the inside to the outside of a building with an exhaust terminal attached to an end portion of the exhaust pipe on an outdoor side. The cutting guide has a reference site for alignment with an exhaust pipe unit including the exhaust pipe, and has an indication of a cutting position of the exhaust tube for adjusting a length of the exhaust tube protruding from the end portion of the exhaust pipe portion on the outdoor side to a length adapted to a type of the exhaust terminal.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: NORITZ CORPORATIONInventors: Takanori Nagano, Masaki Sugatani

Patent number: 9890952Abstract: An exhaust tube includes one end portion and the other end portion and is connected at one end portion to a combustion apparatus, of which inside is defined as an exhaust passage for combustion gas. An exhaust pipe has an outer diameter greater than that of exhaust tube, into which a part of exhaust tube on a side of the other end portion is introduced. An exhaust adapter is attached between an outer circumferential surface of exhaust tube and an inner circumferential surface of exhaust pipe. On the side close to the other end portion in exhaust tube relative to exhaust adapter, an exhaust passage hole 1a is provided separately from an opening in the other end portion of exhaust tube. Exhaust passage hole has an opening area greater than a cross-sectional area of the exhaust passage and is in communication with the exhaust passage.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: NORITZ CORPORATIONInventors: Takanori Nagano, Armando Morales
