  • Patent number: 11143312
    Abstract: An eccentric rotary valve includes valve elements arranged symmetrically around the valve shaft axis, and valve element valve seats and valve body valve seats which are elliptic conical surfaces made of metal. Each valve element has an elliptic spherical surface, an elliptic conical surface, or a completely spherical surface to which one of the valve element valve seats is continuously and steplessly connected. The axes of the valve seats are offset from the valve shaft axis in the valve closing direction such that, when the valve shaft is rotated in the valve opening direction, the valve element valve seats instantly separate from the valve body valve seats. Flow regulating plates are disposed in the valve body between the valve elements to ensure smooth flow of fluid. Ribs are disposed on opposite sides of the valve shaft and forwardly, in the valve opening direction, of the respective valve elements.

  • Publication number: 20210178819
    Abstract: A tire includes a spiral belt layer and ring-shaped bands. The spiral belt layer is provided at the outer periphery side of a tire carcass member and is formed by a resin-coated cord wound in a helical shape. The bands are disposed at the tire diameter direction outer side of each of an end portion of the spiral belt layer at one side in the tire width direction and an end portion at the other side. Each band includes a belt-shaped member that is wound at least one full circumference in the tire circumference direction. The band is provided with an overlap portion that is specified with a larger number of layers of the belt-shaped member than other regions of the band in the circumference direction. The overlap portion is disposed at a circumference direction position that does not correspond with length direction end portions of the resin-coated cord.
