Patent number: 11912449Abstract: To provide an article gripping system that reduces the installation area of the apparatus and further shortens the amount of time from when it grips to when it feeds articles. An article gripping system (110) switches between a first positional relationship in which a container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by a first gripping unit (15A) but does not obstruct discharge of articles by a second gripping unit (15B) and a second positional relationship in which the container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by the second gripping unit (15B) but does not obstruct discharge of articles gripped by the first gripping unit (15A), so the gripping units do not move while they are holding the articles, and the articles can be prevented from falling out of the gripping units (15).Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: ISHIDA CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Okano, Shuichi Maeda, Yuki Furukawa, Masaaki Hojo, Akihito Suzuki, Kousuke Watanabe

Patent number: 8776451Abstract: An extendible structure which includes an elongated extendible member having elasticity, and a storage part that serves to store the extendible member by winding it up, wherein a tip end of the extendible member can be extended from the storage part in a one-dimensional manner, so that an extendible part thus extended becomes a hollow tubular structure. The extendible member is composed of three divided extendible members so that the extendible part of the hollow tubular structure is divided into three parts, and the individual divided extendible members are constructed such that their tip end portions are joined with one another, and at the same time, their base end portions are wound around individual storage parts, respectively, independently from each other. Surface fasteners are each provided on a side of each of the divided extendible members.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2009Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Sakase Adtech Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akihito Watanabe, Hiroaki Ito, Toshiyuki Hori, Nobuyoshi Kawabata
