  • Patent number: 11725574
    Abstract: An operation mechanism of a turbocharger includes: a driving member undergoes a reciprocating movement; a link plate rotationally coupled to the driving member through a first hinge-portion, wherein a first rotation-center of the first hinge-portion is moves linearly along a virtual line in a reciprocating manner in response to the reciprocating movement; and an operation lever. The operation lever includes: a first end operates a flow regulator of the turbocharger, wherein a swing center of the operation lever is located at the first end; and a second end rotationally coupled to the link plate through a second hinge-portion including a second rotation-center, wherein the second end is swings relative to the swing center when the first rotation-center moves linearly along the virtual line, and wherein a distance from the swing center to the second rotation-center is shorter than a distance from the swing center to the virtual line.

  • Patent number: 9913498
    Abstract: The present invention provides a garment with cup sections, which can lift up entire breasts to a higher position and thus can attain improved breast-shaping properties. The garment with cup sections according to the present invention includes: a pair of cup sections 101; and a back section 103. The back section 103 is arranged on lateral sides of the pair of cup sections 101. Each of the cup sections 101 includes an upper breast retaining section 105 arranged between a front-center-side upper edge portion and a lateral-side upper edge portion on an inner side of the cup section 101. The upper breast retaining section 105 is formed so as to cover at least part of an upper breast region positioned obliquely upward to a lateral side relative to a nipple and apply a pressing force to the part.

  • Patent number: 9739311
    Abstract: A shaft includes: two large-diameter portions; and a small-diameter portion formed between the two large-diameter portions. A bearing includes: an annular body in which to insert the shaft; two bearing surfaces being opposite the large-diameter portions; and an intervening surface located between the two bearing surfaces on an inner circumferential surface of the body, and being opposite the small-diameter portion with a clearance formed between the intervening surface and the small-diameter portion. No anti-corrosion treatment is applied to the large-diameter portions. An anti-corrosion treatment is applied to at least any one of: an exposed portion of an outer peripheral surface of the body of the bearing, which is exposed to the outside of the housing; the intervening surface of the bearing; an opposite end surface of the bearing; and the small-diameter portion of the shaft.
