Publication number: 20190120456Abstract: The present invention is to provide a vehicle-mounted lamp fitting which can efficiently suppress fogging due to condensation of a light transmissive cover. Provided are: a lamp chamber composed of a light transmissive cover exposed to the outside and a case; a dehumidification element mounted on the case; and a humidity detection element mounted on the inside of the light transmissive cover of the lamp chamber. The dehumidification element mounted on the case is controlled by detection of the humidity detection element mounted on the inside of the light transmissive cover of the lamp chamber to efficiently suppress fogging due to condensation of the light transmissive cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2017Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Hideo NODA, Akio MASUDA, Ryota KAWASHITA

Patent number: 9329333Abstract: An irradiation device increasing the lighting depth and facilitating the assembling is provided. A transparent bar-shaped light guide having LEDs disposed near ends thereof includes a first prism group and a first reflector, and, a second prism group and a reflector which are provided so as to extend in a lengthwise direction and which diffuse and reflect light. The light guide includes a first light outgoing area emitting reflected light as primary light Lm, and a second light outgoing area emitting reflected light as secondary light Ls. The first light outgoing area includes a plane portion forming a flat surface. A plane mirror reflects the secondary light Ls in a direction overlapping the primary light Lm in a read area.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2012Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Akiko Fujiuchi, Toshiaki Shoji, Nobutaka Kobayashi, Akio Masuda

Patent number: 7785406Abstract: It is intended to provide a volatile organic compound treatment apparatus having: an absorption treatment chamber in which absorption frames having absorbents for absorbing volatile organic compounds are aligned in a direction of a gas flow; an absorbent recovery treatment chamber that is provided with a discharge unit having a high voltage electrode, a ground electrode, and a dielectric; and a transfer mechanism for transferring the absorption frames present in an upstream of the gas flow to the absorbent recovery treatment chamber and transferring the absorption frames in the absorbent recovery treatment chamber to a downstream of the gas flow. The volatile organic compound treatment apparatus is capable of decomposing VOC without generating a large amount of harmful NOx and reduced in apparatus cost.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kouji Ota, Yasutaka Inanaga, Yasuhiro Tanimura, Masaki Kuzumoto, Hajime Nakatani, Hideo Ichimura, Akio Masuda, Shigeki Maekawa, Masaharu Moriyasu

Patent number: 4116084Abstract: A gear disengaging mechanism for use in a movable toy which mechanism disengages automatically the engagement between a first gear receiving the rotation from a driving section and a second gear being pushed by a spring. The bearing hole for the shaft of the second gear is a slot in which one end portion of the shaft is moved. The shaft that is moved in the bearing hole is urged toward one side by the spring member one end of which is fixed to a frame body, thus gears are releasably engaged together. When a gear on the driven side is forcibly stopped, the gear shaft is shifted along the bearing hole against the force of the spring member and the engagement of gears is released. Further, between the driving section and the driven section is disposed a gear changing mechanism with which the gear change is carried out by moving a gear shaft in its axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1977Date of Patent: September 26, 1978Assignee: Alps Shoji Co., Ltd.Inventor: Akio Masuda
