  • Publication number: 20140365526
    Abstract: A content management apparatus as an embodiment of the present invention associates content information on content with group information on a user participation group in a posting management service that approves control for the content, and stores the associated information. The apparatus then acquires group information on the user participation group from the posting management service, upon receipt of a content control request. The apparatus determines whether or not the requested control is to be approved, based on the acquired group information and the group information stored in association with the content information on the content. This configuration allows the content management apparatus for managing the content to control access authorization according to setting of the group in the posting management service.

  • Patent number: 8806725
    Abstract: A slide fastener according to the invention includes a left-and-right pair of first and second fastener stringers, a box pin provided on the first fastener stringer, an insert pin provided on the second fastener stringer, and a pair of first and second sliders. The box pin has a box pin body, a stopper portion, and a ridge portion formed on the box pin body. Further, a chamfered portion is formed on an inner surface of at least one of the upper and lower wing plates of the first slider. The ridge portion is arranged at a position in close contact with the chamfered portion of the first slider when the first slider is stopped at the stopper portion. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to cause the user to be accustomed to securely slide the first slider to the normal insert-pin inserting position.

  • Patent number: 8782858
    Abstract: A slider has an upper blade of a slider body having an insert groove of a locking pawl, a temporary engagement portion for which temporary engages and fixes the locking pawl, and a claw hole. The temporary engagement portion is adapted so that, with the locking pawl fixed in position, the position in height of the upper end of the temporary engagement portion is the same as or lower than that of the upper surface of the upper blade. This prevents the temporary engagement portion from being pressed and crushed when the temporary engagement portion is in contact with the tab and so on. As a result, an automatic stop mechanism of the slider can stably function.

  • Patent number: 8661628
    Abstract: A slide fastener includes a pair of first and second fastener stringers, a box pin, an insert pin, and a pair of first and second sliders. The box pin has a box pin body, a stopper portion arranged at a front end side of the box pin body, and suppressing portions projected on at least one of upper and lower surfaces of the box pin body to suppress sliding of the second slider. Further, the box pin body has a body region, and a notched region arranged at an element-row-side base end portion and having excluded a side surface portion at a side facing the insert pin. The suppressing portions are projected in only the notched region. With this arrangement, the second slider can be stably held at an insert-pin inserting position, and a subsequent insert operation or extract operation of the insert pin can be smoothly performed.

  • Publication number: 20120167354
    Abstract: In the reverse opening slide fastener, an insert pin includes a side edge arranged at a box pin side and a side edge arranged at a tape inner side. A first sloped section sloped in a direction to be apart from the box pin side toward the insert pin top end is formed at the side edge arranged at a box pin side. The first sloped section is formed as being intersected with an extension line obtained by extending a planar section of the side edge arranged at a tape inner side to the insert pin top end side and has a shape sloped at an angle to be contacted to a guide column of the lower slider or to be apart from the guide column when the insert pin is inserted to upper and lower sliders. Accordingly, in the reverse opening slide fastener, insertion operation of the insert pin can be smoothly performed.
