  • Patent number: 10717143
    Abstract: A vapor-phase type heating method includes: collecting, in the vapor tank, the heat transfer liquid which has come into contact with a heating target object, has cooled to liquefy, and has fallen down as droplets from a front surface of the heating target object to a lower portion of a heating furnace; resupplying, to the heating furnace, heated gas to which the vapor has been supplied and which has been formed by supplying the vapor from the vapor tank to heated gas obtained from heating the heating target object discharged from the heating furnace to a circulation pathway; and heating the heating target object, at a predetermined rate of temperature rise in a state of an even distribution of the vapor of the heat transfer liquid by maintaining the vapor of the heat transfer liquid in a predetermined amount in the heating furnace by the collection and the supply.

  • Patent number: 7614915
    Abstract: A main body portion of a grommet is mounted to a through hole of a dash panel partitioning an engine room and a vehicle compartment, a long tube is continuously provided to the main body portion, and the tube is arranged at inside of the engine room. A wire harness is inserted to the main body portion and an inner portion of the tube in an unbundled state, under the state, at least two stages of narrowed portions (first, second fixing portions) constituted by narrowing an inner diameter of the tube at a position proximate to a front end of the tube and a position proximate to the main body portion remote from the position. At the narrowed portion, by fastening a strap for fixing to an outer periphery of the tube, the inner diameter of the tube is narrowed. Wires are scattered by providing a bent portion at the wire harness coming out from the grommet.
