Patent number: 9142371Abstract: An actuator for a contactor comprises an electromagnet having a closing coil, a holding coil, fixed cores wound with the closing coil and the holding coil respectively, a movable core provided on one side of the fixed cores, and a yoke. A main contact movable member operates to perform closing or interrupting by attraction or release of the movable core with respect to the fixed core. The actuator has a trip spring, energy-stored during the closing, that performs the interrupting upon stopping energization to the holding coil and thereby releasing the stored-energy. The actuator has an auxiliary contact operating with the operation of the movable core and performing energization switching with respect to the closing coil and the holding coil. The trip spring is provided on one side of the electromagnet in a horizontal direction while the auxiliary contact is provided on the other side.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takamitsu Hae, Ayumu Morita, Masato Yabu, Akio Nakazawa, Kenji Tsuchiya

Patent number: 5108394Abstract: A bone fixing device is disclosed in which a single rod member is arranged in a longitudinal direction of a bone, and at least two block members are mounted on the rod member so that the block members may be fixed to any desired positions in the axial direction and around the axis of the rod member. Pin holding mechanisms for holding a plurality of pins to be inserted into the bone are mounted on the block members, respectively. By the pin holding mechanisms, the pins are positionally adjustable around axes in the first and second directions which are preferably perpendicular to the axial direction. Also, an actuator is fixed to the rod member. One of the block members slidable relative to the rod member is moved in the axial direction relative to the rod member to thereby impart elongation/contraction force to the bone. A detector is fixed to the other member and is brought into contact with a contact located at an end of the rod member to thereby detect the repulsive force from the bone.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1990Date of Patent: April 28, 1992Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Nagano Keiki SeisakushoInventors: Takahide Kurokawa, Takashi Matsushita, Isao Ohnishi, Shigemitsu Ogawa, Tsuneo Yokotsuka, Akio Nakazawa
