Akihiro SAKAKI 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: 10714233
    Abstract: An aluminum electrical wire includes a conductor including aluminum-based core wires, and an insulating resin covering covering the conductor and having a thickness deviation of not less than 70%. The aluminum-based core wires contain 99 mass % of aluminum, and the conductor is constructed by concentrically twisting 19 or 37 of the aluminum-based core wires at the same pitch in a non-compressed state such that the aluminum electrical wire has a current capacity that is substantially the same as a current capacity of a copper electrical wire having a diameter that is substantially the same as a diameter of the aluminum electrical wire.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2020

  • Patent number: 10468154
    Abstract: A conductor including multiple aluminum-based core wires, and an insulating resin covering directly covering the conductor such that the insulating resin covering is in contact with the aluminum-based core wires. The aluminum-based core wires includes one aluminum-based core wire containing not less than 99 mass % of aluminum in a center of the conductor and aluminum-based core wires positioned concentrically from the center of the conductor, and the conductor is constructed by concentrically twisting 19 or 37 of the aluminum-based core wires in a non-compressed state and at a same pitch such that a thickness deviation of the insulating resin covering is not less than 70%.

  • Publication number: 20180350487
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an aluminum wire in which the electroconductivity is similar to that of an insulated wire having a copper conductor, and in which the wire outside diameter is not increased. An aluminum electrical wire (1, 1A) in which an aluminum conductor (10, 10A) comprising 37 or 19 aluminum-based core wires (20, 20A) containing at least 99 mass % of aluminum is coated by an insulating resin covering (30), wherein the aluminum conductor (10, 10A) is obtained by concentrically twisting the aluminum-based core wires (20, 20A) in a non-compressed state, the cross-sectional area of the aluminum conductor (10, 10A) is 2.5 mm2 to less than 17 mm2, and the insulating resin coating has a thickness equal to from 10 to 20% of the conductor outside diameter of the aluminum conductors (10, 10A).
