Yuki HATERUMA has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11285522
    Abstract: A heat transfer tube is made of aluminum and includes a streak-shaped Zn diffusion layer (6, 106) which is spirally formed on a circular outer peripheral surface in a length direction. According to this heat transfer tube, even in a case where rainwater or dew concentration water is intensively accumulated in a portion of the outer peripheral surface in a circumferential direction, it is possible to obtain a sufficient corrosion resistance.

  • Patent number: 11052443
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing an inner spiral grooved tube, the apparatus includes first and second bobbins, one of which is an unwinding bobbin and the other of which is a winding bobbin; a floating frame that supports a shaft of the first bobbin; a rotary shaft that supports the floating frame though bearings and rotates in a direction perpendicular to an axis of a bobbin in the floating frame; a revolving flyer configured to invert a tube route of a tubular material between the first bobbin and the second bobbin, to convey the tubular material, and to revolve the tubular material around the floating frame as being supported by the rotary shaft; and first and second drawing dies positioned on a front stage and a rear stage of the revolving flyer, respectively, in the tube route of the tubular material

  • Publication number: 20210138522
    Abstract: A method in accordance with the present application includes sending a raw tube from a drum to an unwinding side capstan while the raw tube is rotated around a central axis perpendicular to a winding shaft of the drum by rotating the drum and the unwinding side capstan about the central axis concurrently with unwinding of the raw tube from the drum holding the raw tube, on an inner surface of which multiple straight grooves along a longitudinal direction of the raw tube are formed with an interval in a circumferential direction, in a coil shape, to wind the raw tube around the unwinding side capstan, and drawing in which the unwound raw tube is drawn while the diameter of the raw tube is reduced, and then the raw tube is wound around the drawing side capstan to twist the raw tube and obtain an inner spiral grooved tube.

  • Publication number: 20190160504
    Abstract: A method produces an inner spiral grooved tube using a first drawing die, a second drawing die, and a revolving flyer. The method includes two twisting-drawing steps. The first twisting-drawing step forms an intermediate twisted tube by reducing the diameter of a linear grooved tube, which has plural straight grooves formed along the longitudinal direction on its inner surface, by passing the linear grooved tube through the first drawing die and then by revolving the liner grooved tube wrapped around the revolving flyer with the revolving flyer, in conjunction with imparting twist to the linear grooved tube. The second twisting-drawing step forms the inner spiral grooved tube by reducing the diameter of the intermediate twisted tube by passing the intermediate twisted tube, which revolves with the revolving flyer, through the second drawing die in conjunction with imparting twist to the intermediate twisted tube.
