  • Publication number: 20230025882
    Abstract: A fluid limit vent valve assembly includes a lower case having a base portion and an outer wall extending from the base portion to define a lower case interior cavity and an opening at an end of the lower case opposite the base portion. A first slot extends through the outer wall. A fuel flow diverter is positioned in the interior cavity directly opposite first slot and extends along a path between the first slot and a vapor exit passage of the valve assembly. The flow diverter prevents splashing of liquid fuel into a vapor exit passage of the valve assembly. A second slot also extends through the lower case outer wall and is angularly spaced apart from the first slot.

  • Patent number: 10710766
    Abstract: A first score line (430) is curled inward at one end section (431) and the other end section (432) of the first score line (430) so as to go into a region enclosed by the first score line (430), and the first score line (430) approaches a center line (CL) of a tab as going to the trailing ends thereof. In addition, a curvature at which the first scored line (430) is brought closer to the other end section (432) side is applied to the one end section (431) of the first score line (430), and a curvature at which the first score line (430) is brought closer to the one end section (431) side is also applied to the other end section (432) of the first score line (430).

  • Patent number: 9815300
    Abstract: A printing device (1) is provided with: a can body conveying mechanism (100) for sequentially conveying can bodies (10); and a can body moving mechanism (200) for moving the can body (10) while forming an image onto the outer circumferential surface of the can body (10) conveyed by the can body conveying mechanism (100). The can body moving mechanism (200) is provided with a rotating member (210) formed in a disc shape and rotating in a clockwise direction in the drawing. The can body moving mechanism (200) is also provided with plural image forming units (220) provided on the rotating member (210) and forming an image onto the outer circumferential surface of the can body (10) while moving the can body (10). The image forming units (220) are each provided with plural ink ejection devices for ejecting ink onto the outer circumferential surface of the can body (10). This provides an image forming device capable of increasing the number of can bodies on each of which an image can be formed per unit time.

  • Patent number: 9377162
    Abstract: The present invention provides a technique for suppressing an occurrence of weld in a pressure vessel liner. A film gate for molding a pressure vessel liner is located on a radially outer side of an outer peripheral end portion of an meshing portion in the pressure vessel liner. By disposing the film gate on the radially outer side of the meshing portion with a sufficient space between, it is possible to control the flow rate of the molten resin during molding, thereby suppressing an occurrence of weld.

  • Patent number: 5666849
    Abstract: Sliced workpieces severed from a metal extrusion transversely of it and into a desired thickness, or bent ones made from the extruded metal pipes, are restrained at their regulated correct positions each in its entirety or in part. Subsequently, the workpieces are compressed in a direction to the thickness or in the direction perpendicular to the primary bending direction. Plastic deformation of or exceeding 0.5%, or more preferably 2-5%, will be produced in each workpiece. Alternatively, those sliced or bent workpieces may be pressed in a direction to that of thickness or in the direction perpendicular to a previous bending, after each workpiece is restrained in its entirety or in part at the regulated correct dimension.

  • Patent number: 5571349
    Abstract: In a method of producing twisted aluminum products, an elongate heat-treatable aluminum article is twisted at first to have a value "tan .phi." of 0.5 or more, with the term .phi. denoting a helical angle of the thus twisted article. The twisted aluminum article is then subjected to a solid solution treatment and the step of aging, in this order.

  • Patent number: 4469512
    Abstract: To obtain a high-purity aluminum fraction from aluminum containing both eutectic impurities and peritectic impurities, the contents of these impurities in the original aluminum are reduced by melting the original aluminum to obtain molten aluminum, adding boron to the molten aluminum, and rotating a cooling body as immersed in the boron-containing molten aluminum while introducing a cooling fluid to the interior of the body to crystallize high-purity aluminum on the surface of the body. The peritectic impurities react with the boron to form metallic borides, which are centrifugally forced away from the cooling body by the rotation of the body without being incorporated into the aluminum crystallized on the surface of the body. The eutectic impurities are removed from the crystallized aluminum on the surface based on the principle of segregation.
