  • Patent number: 9803829
    Abstract: A lens for light emitting lamps that use light emitting elements such as LEDs, etc., is provided. The lens has a specific surface shape for light-distribution control to achieve desired light distributions, as well as a light emitting device using said lens. On the lens surface of the light emitting side which has a double-peak shape to obtain a light distribution characteristic having long and short two axes, by possessing a straight-line part in the surface shape of the light emitting side viewed on the lens short-axis cross section, a desired smoothly-diffused light distribution having a longitudinal direction with a certain width is obtained. The lens may be designed to have a surface of the light emitting side comprising a collection of straight lines parallel to the lens short-axis cross section, or to have a continuous curved surface comprising a collection of straight lines parallel to the lens short axis.

  • Patent number: 8443840
    Abstract: Provided is a small, simple-structured, homogeneous and mass-producible excessive pressure release valve which works even at a relatively low excessive pressure to surely and safely release the pressure to the external world. The excessive pressure release valve has an elastic rubber plate and a reversibly openable slit that passes through the upper and the lower surfaces and release the pressure to the external world when the internal excessive pressure stressing on the lower side surface, pushes and opens the slit toward upper surface side. The elastic rubber plate is made of silicone rubber containing 1-20% by mass of silicone oil.
