Publication number: 20130145873Abstract: In a curved spring configured to generate, based on a relative approaching displacement of the one-side bearing section and the other-side bearing section in an approach/separation direction, an urging force in a separation direction in which a one-side bearing section and an other-side bearing section are separated from each other, a linear elastic body is provided to extend on a closed curve, which includes a one-side portion arranged along a circumferential direction of the one-side bearing section and an other-side portion arranged along a circumferential direction of the other-side bearing section, and to constitute elastic sections of two lines between the one-side portion and the other-side portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2011Publication date: June 13, 2013Applicant: MITSUBISHI STEEL MFG. CO., LTD.Inventor: Tetsuya Katsuta

Publication number: 20130125683Abstract: A curved spring includes one and another end parts configured to approach and separate relative to each other in an approaching/separating direction and plural beam parts that bend between the one end part and the other end part and extend in an extending direction. The plural beam parts are arranged in a width direction orthogonal to the approaching/separating direction. At least one combination of adjacent beam parts among combinations of the plural beam parts includes an outer side beam part having a width greater than a width of an inner side beam part in the width direction. The outer side beam part has a length less than a length of the inner side beam part in the approaching/separating direction. The one and the other end parts and at least one beam part of the plural beam parts are integrally molded on a shared plane by a synthetic resin.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2011Publication date: May 23, 2013Inventors: Yuji Hazama, Kentaro Nagasawa, Toru Hirokane

Publication number: 20090320628Abstract: A sliding mechanism for a portable electronic device includes a body section, a cover section, a coil spring mounted to the body section, and an elastic sheet fixed to the cover section. The body section or the cover section defines a sliding slot on a side thereof, with the other section comprising a rail corresponding to the sliding slot. The rail is slidably received in the sliding slot. The coil spring deforms the elastic sheet to generate tensile force when the coil spring is not aligned with the elastic sheet, driving the cover section to the open or closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: CHI MEI COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, INC.Inventor: CHIH-CHIEN HUANG

Publication number: 20080187394Abstract: An external control assembly for a quick-release device of a linear actuator comprises a collar and a handle and the purpose of the quick-release device for promptly returning a workpiece driven by the linear actuator can be achieved by implementing the handle to rotate the collar. According to the present invention, the collar has a polygon-shaped out periphery and the handle comprises a assembling hole shaped in a polygon shape corresponding to the out periphery of the collar so that when the handle is mounted onto the out periphery of the collar, a combined motion of simultaneous rotation about the axis of the collar of the handle can be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2007Publication date: August 7, 2008Inventor: Wen-Chia Tsou
