  • Patent number: 11684961
    Abstract: A roller hemming device includes a backing metal, a guide roller, a bending roller, a pressing unit, and a swinging unit. The backing metal includes an abutment surface and a guide surface. The abutment surface is brought into abutment against a first panel member. The guide roller is moved in an extending direction of the guide surface with abutting against the guide surface. With being moved synchronously with the guide roller, the bending roller presses a bent peripheral edge portion of the first panel member via the backing metal such that the bent peripheral edge portion of the first panel member is pinched between the bending roller and the guide roller, and folds the bent peripheral edge portion of the first panel member back to a periphery edge portion of a second panel member. The pressing unit presses the bending roller toward the backing metal.

  • Patent number: 5847739
    Abstract: A method of carrying out ink Jet printing includes the steps of: introducing a cloth on which ink Jet printing is to be carried out onto a cloth feeding drum having a plurality of support pins for holding the cloth on the cloth feeding drum; and moving the support pins in the radial direction of the cloth feeding drum at least when the cloth is introduced onto the cloth feeding drum. Further, the method may also include the step of moving the support pins in the axial direction of the cloth feeding drum to apply a tension to the cloth held by the support pins on the cloth feeding drum after the cloth is introduced onto the cloth feeding drum.

  • Patent number: 5782965
    Abstract: Ink for ink-jet dyeing purposes contains a disperse dye which is insoluble, or slightly soluble, in water, and a dispersing agent which can be represented by the following general formula (I).M--(--OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --).sub.n --X--(--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O--).sub.n --MHere, X in this formula represents --A-- or --O--A--O-- (where A is represented by the formulae indicated below), and M is a hydrogen atom, --SO.sub.3 H, --SO.sub.3 NH.sub.4 or --SO.sub.3 Na, and n is an integer of value 5-20. ##STR1## According to the above ink, there is no blockage of the orifices by the ink and the ink can be discharged from the orifices in the form of very fine liquid droplets which are stable, and mixing of the inks which have be discharged on the surface of the said cloth proceeds smoothly, thereby enabling to obtain uniform and distinct images with no physical defects or color defects.Another aspect is directed to a method of forming mixing color on a material to be dyed.

  • Patent number: 5347104
    Abstract: A heater control circuit is provided to control the heating condition of a cooking oven by means of a triac. In the heater control circuit, an electrical heater is incorporated. The heater further has a switch which is electrically connected in series with the heater so as to actuate and deactuate the heater in combination with on-off operation of the switch. A control relay is electrically connected in series with the triac and the heater to be actuated and deactuated in association with on-off operation of the switch so as to break an electrically conductive path through the triac.

  • Patent number: 4323747
    Abstract: A safety arrangement for microwave ovens or similar cooking devices, in which a circuit breaking element and a main switch, which is arranged to be open in conjunction with an unlocking operation of a lock for a door, are interposed in a load circuit connecting between an electric source of power and a load. A first door switch is arranged to be closed when the door is opened and is connected to the load circuit in parallel with the load. An auxiliary switch becomes opened upon unlocking of the lock, and is connected in the load circuit on the load side of the first door switch. A second door switch becomes opened with a delayed time interval after closing of the first door switch, by opening of the door, and is connected to the load circuit on the electrical power source side of the first door switch. The door switches become operated by a door arm extending from the door.
