Patent number: 10413952Abstract: This gate device is provided with a guide unit having a guide section that is disposed at the downstream side of pinch rollers at a path line along which a metal sheet is conveyed, opens/closes a coil-up line that is curved from the path line, and guides the upwards-facing surface side of the metal sheet led in to the coil-up line. A configuration is adopted such that the guide unit has a main body frame and a liner that is attached to the main body frame, forms at least a portion of the second guide surface that guides the metal sheet, has a lower coefficient of friction than the main body frame, and has a lower hardness than that of the metal sheet.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignees: PRIMETALS TECHNOLOGIES JAPAN, LTD., JFE STEEL CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Matsumoto, Yusuke Ogaki, Takayuki Endo, Takao Uchiyama, Tsutomu Sugiyama, Takeshi Chiba

Patent number: 10271119Abstract: The present invention prevents a three-dimensional fabric arranged in front surfaces of speakers from flapping due to sound. In the respective front surface sides of, sound-emitting direction regulating members that include annular portions that project forward by a predetermined distance are arranged. A three-dimensional fabric is tensioned and arranged so as to cover the front surface sides of the sound-emitting direction regulating members. When the three-dimensional fabric is pressed against the annular portions configuring the sound-emitting direction regulating members, the annular portions bite into the three-dimensional fabric since the three-dimensional fabric has a predetermined thickness. The annular portions are provided so as to surround diaphragms of the speakers. Sound output from the speakers passes inside the annular portions.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Delta Tooling Co., Ltd.Inventors: Etsunori Fujita, Yumi Ogura, Takao Uchiyama, Kazuhiro Takenaka, Kazunari Yasui
