Abstract: A first side cover of a dual bearing reel is fastened by threadedly coupling screws from the inner side of a first side plate to a plurality of cylindrical portions that are attached to the inner surface of the first side cover. Alumite is formed on the aluminum alloy-made first side cover. A fine triazine thiol powder is diffused on the inner surface of the first side cover by an electrodeposition plating process such that an electrodeposition layer is formed thereon. The cylindrical portions are attached to the inner surface of the first side cover by inserting at least a portion of the first side cover into a die and outsert or insert-molding the cylindrical portions to the electrodeposition layer. It is possible to control increases in the cost of a decorative member, control the exposure of attachment portions, and provide an expensive appearance to the decorative member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to circuits having differential structure which uses complementary devices for processing single-ended signal. The single-ended differential circuit in accordance with the present invention, comprises first and second complementary devices having first, second, and third terminals, respectively, wherein current flowing from the second terminal to the third terminal has its quantity and direction being varying in dependant on the voltage driven to the first terminal, wherein the currents flowing through the first and second complementary devices vary in opposite relationship.

Abstract: A conveyance apparatus of the present invention holds and conveys a group of items, and includes conveyors and driving devices. The conveyors include first and second conveyance belts, items-group holders, and detaching/attaching devices. The first and second conveyance belts operate around a circulating path. The detaching/attaching devices support the items-group holders, which include a plurality of partition members that partitions and holds the group of items. The plurality of partition members are connected to one another. The detaching/attaching devices render the items-group holders detachable from and attachable to the first and second conveyor belts. In this manner, replacement of the plurality of partition members can be performed easily and quickly.

Abstract: Fishing reel bearings curtail deterioration in rotational performance, and improve anti-corrosiveness, as well as make it easier to wash the bearings without incurring internal component corrosion. Dual-bearing reel bearing—a bearing provided between a boss, and a spool shaft disposed to the circumferentially inner side of, and rotational relative to, the boss—is furnished with an outer race, an inner race, and a plurality of rolling bodies. The outer race is fitted into the boss. The inner race is fitted in the spool, disposed parted at a clearance from the outer race. Between the two races, the rolling bodies of the plurality are disposed, circumferentially spaced and contacting both the races. The outer race, the inner race, and the rolling bodies are SUS 440C manufactures coated with a highly corrosion-resistant film.

Abstract: The weights of articles that are held in normal weighing hoppers are combined and a combination weighing takes places such that the total weight of the articles is within a predetermined weight range. When a combination weighing takes place and the articles that are held in the normal weighing hoppers are selected, special articles that are held in a special weighing hopper specified according to a specification routine are discharged. The present invention provides a general use combination weighing apparatus that is capable of changing the composition of combined articles discharged from the combination weighing apparatus according to predetermined conditions, without requiring a change in software and preferably without taking up a great deal of space.

Abstract: A double-drag type lever-drag mechanism for a double-bearing trolling reel. The drag mechanism is configured to improve overall reel braking and drag performance by securing the brake release state reliably and by a design that curbs increase in spool inertia and provides for ease of operation and precision in attaching the drag cover. The lever drag mechanism 7 brakes the spool 3 rotation in the line spool-out direction, and is equipped with a brake disk 25 non-rotatably fitted to one end of the spool such to be axially shiftable a predetermined distance. Sandwiching the brake disk 25 between friction disk 26, immobilized against axially outward movement, and axially shiftable friction disk 27 rotates the drag/brake disks 25-27 unitarily with the spool 3. Against the spool 3 a coil spring 28 urges the brake disk 25 away from the spool 3. A shifting mechanism 29 reciprocates the spool 3 and drag/brake disks 25-27 axially.

Abstract: A cable operated display device for a bicycle is provided in which the cable can be easily installed or replaced. The cable operated display device includes a mounting portion, a housing, an internal take-up element and a lid. The mounting portion is adapted to be coupled to a portion of a bicycle. The housing is coupled to the mounting portion. The housing has an interior cavity and an open front. The internal take-up element is pivotally coupled within the housing about a first pivot axis. The internal take-up element has a cable attachment portion that is accessible through the open front of the housing without detaching the internal take-up element from the housing. The lid is releasably coupled to the housing to overlie the open front of the housing. The lid has a window to view the movement of an indicator coupled to the internal take-up element.

Abstract: An impeller blade fixing method for a torque converter includes a fitting step and a caulking step. In the fitting step, projections (17), (18) and (19) of the impeller blades (3) are fitted into concavities (6), (7) and (8) formed on an inner surface of an impeller shell (2), respectively. In a caulking step, a portion (10) of the impeller shell (2) adjacent to one of the projections of each blade (3) is deformed thereby fixing each impeller blade (3) to the impeller shell (2). In the caulking step, only a portion of a surface (B) of the impeller shell (2) opposite the portion 10 is supported.
