Patent number: 10603773Abstract: A driving tool is configured to drive fasteners shot from an ejection port into a driving target. The driving tool includes a trigger configured to carry out a driving action, a nose part formed with the ejection port, a contact member provided to be slidable relative to the nose part and is capable of being pressed against the driving target, and a contact detecting part configured to detect that the contact member is pressed against the driving target. The driving action is carried out when the contact detecting part detects that the contact member is pressed against the driving target and when the trigger is operated. The contact member is slidable to a side opposite to and beyond a tip of the nose part.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: MAX CO., LTD.Inventor: Yoshihiko Kondou

Patent number: 6168648Abstract: A spiral wound type membrane element is formed by superposing gas-liquid contact membranes on both surfaces of a first fluid passage forming member, superposing a second fluid passage forming member on the surface of one of the gas-liquid contact membranes and spirally winding the gas-liquid contact membranes around a second fluid supply pipe along with the first fluid passage forming member and the second fluid passage forming member. A side portion on the inner peripheral side and a side portion on the outer peripheral side of a first fluid passage formed by the first fluid passage forming member between the gas-liquid contact membranes are sealed. Both end portions of a second fluid passage formed by the second fluid passage forming member between the gas-liquid contact membranes are sealed. The spiral wound type membrane element is stored inside a cylindrical container. The gas-liquid contact membranes are formed by PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) porous membranes having hydrophobicity.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1999Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Akira Ootani, Hideki Hayama, Yoshihiko Kondou
