  • Patent number: 6582207
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a motor compressor that reduces noise by lessening a contact area between a stator and a shell, wherein a motor element is constituted of a stator having a stator core that contacts and is fixed to an internal wall of the closed vessel, and a rotator having a magnetic substance, which is attached to the rotating shaft and is rotatably supported in the inside of the stator construct. It is essential that H<Ho is satisfied wherein H is a dimension in a rotating shaft direction of an area in which the stator core contacts the closed vessel and Ho is a dimension in a rotating shaft direction of the stator core.

  • Patent number: 6561370
    Abstract: A cap with a double function ring is provided, which furnishes the features of showing it has been opened and of being child proof. The ring comprises two pieces of the same size joined to the cap. One of the pieces will be released from the cam when opening the container is attempted, the other piece will remain joined to the cap, when the container is being opened, it will be necessary to press two opposite ends of the double function ring, for the purpose of releasing the movement preventing elements.

  • Patent number: 6450384
    Abstract: A continuous paper treating apparatus is provided which includes a tractor for feeding continuous paper and a paper treating unit for treating the paper. The tractor includes a driving belt provided with tractor pins, a tractor lid for covering the driving belt, a support base having a paper support surface for supporting the continuous paper. The tractor also includes a presser member supported by the tractor lid. The presser member is variable in position and posture relative to the tractor lid, and has a pressing surface for pressing the paper. In the tractor, use is made of springs for urging the presser member toward the paper supporting surface, so that the pressing surface presses the continuous paper onto the paper supporting surface.
