Patent number: 9123494Abstract: An electromagnetic relay including an electromagnet block having a rod-shaped iron core, a coil wound around the rod-shaped iron core, and a spool interposed between the coil and iron core. A yoke having one end section extends to a section at a side of a magnet pole section of the iron core. An end section of the yoke is arranged so that the magnet pole section has a gap on a base side. A moving iron is pivotably supported by an elastic support of a hinge spring. The electromagnet block is magnetized wherein a section drawn in the moving iron is drawn to the magnet pole section and pivoted to drive a contact switching unit. The hinge spring includes an elastic contacting portion extending toward an opposite side to the elastic support. The moving iron is integrated with a card member that comes in contact with the elastic contacting portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2011Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Tetsuo Shinkai, Yasuyuki Masui, Tsukasa Yamashita

Patent number: 8558647Abstract: Provided is a technology which has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and does not increase cost. A terminal member to be press-fitted into a terminal hole formed in a base, includes a press-fitted portion which is to be press-fitted in the terminal hole, and a terminal portion extending from the press-fitted portion and protruding from the base. The terminal portion is formed by folding a plate-like body such that folded portions overlap a planar portion. At least one of the folded portions has a cut-away portion extending from the base, respectively at an edge near the press-fitted portion. A sealing agent can be injected into the terminal hole via the cut-away portions.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Tetsuo Shinkai, Toshiyuki Kakimoto, Yasuyuki Masui, Tsukasa Yamashita

Patent number: 5759668Abstract: The invention provides an improved heat seal structure for electronic devices. A heat seal structure comprises a base of synthetic resin formed integrally with an outwardly extending projection, with a gas vent running through the base and projection, the gas vent being sealed off by melting the projection, the improvement that the gas vent is configured generally in the shape of the letter V or Y bifurcating in the outward direction. In another embodiment, the projection has an annular extension disposed on the outward side of the base and adapted to be melted for a double seal effect. In another version of the structure, heat-sealing is performed with a sealing member or composition interposed in the gas vent. In still further embodiments, heat sealing is performed using a sealing member melting at a temperature below the melting point of the resin forming the base.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 1997Date of Patent: June 2, 1998Assignee: Omron CorporationInventors: Tatsuro Ishikawa, Hiroyuki Sagawa, Kiyoji Inoue, Tetsuo Shinkai, Atsushi Kamizasa
