  • Publication number: 20240140286
    Abstract: An air supply apparatus supplies air to an airbag of a seat includes a support panel and a functional component. A first direction is a thickness of the base, a second direction is orthogonal to the first direction, and a direction orthogonal to both the first direction and the second direction is a third direction. A first restriction wall and a second restriction wall extend from the base in the first direction, spaced at an interval in the second direction, and sandwich the functional component in the second direction. A coupling wall extends from the base in the first direction and couples the first restriction wall to the second restriction wall in the second direction. Two guide walls are spaced in the third direction and sandwich the functional component in the third direction. Pressing portions sandwich the functional component together with the coupling wall in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10113446
    Abstract: A rotary machine system (1) includes a first rotary machine (4) having a driving shaft (5) capable of being driven about an axis, a second rotary machine (2) having a driven shaft (3) rotatable about the axis and a bearing device (11) slidably supporting the driven shaft (3) on an axial end portion side with a pad surface (37) such that lubricating oil is supplied to the pad surface (37), a coupling unit (6) connecting the driving shaft (5) and the driven shaft (3) to each other such that rotation of the driving shaft (5) is transmitted to the driven shaft (3), and a baffle plate (7) disposed between the bearing device (11) and the coupling unit (6) and separating a space on the bearing device (11) side and a space on the coupling unit (6) side from each other.

  • Patent number: 10077783
    Abstract: A rotation mechanism includes a casing with an upper half portion and a lower half portion; and an internal unit disposed in the casing with a rotor rotating around an axis thereof. Additionally, a bearing portion rotatably supports the rotor, and an annular seal portion seals a gap surrounding a circumferential surface of the rotor. An axial movement restricting portion includes a fitting concave portion on one of the casing and the internal unit, and a fitting convex portion to be fitted into the fitting concave portion as a pair, which restricts relative movement between the casing and the internal unit in a direction of axis. A tapered surface is formed on the fitting concave portion and the fitting convex portion and a width thereof in the direction of axis increases toward an inner circumferential side in a radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20070176329
    Abstract: The objects of the present invention are to provide a durable magnetic field molding device for producing molded bodies for ferrite magnets, which needs a controlled amount of releasing agent, reduces production cost and improves productivity, and die and magnetic field molding method. The lower die 12B of the die 12 is coated, on the surface which defines the cavity 11, with the coating film 30 with a high hardness and a low friction coefficient, which improves resistance of the lower die 12B surface to wear by the solid component (fine powder) in the slurry, thereby greatly improving durability of the coating film 30 itself and reducing lubricant usage.
