Patent number: 11959147Abstract: A top-blowing lance nozzle is configured to freely switch an adequate expansion condition so as to control an oxygen-blowing amount and a jetting velocity independently of each other without requiring a plurality of lance nozzles or a mechanically movable part. A lance nozzle is configured to blow refining oxygen to molten iron charged in a reaction vessel while a gas is blown from a top-blowing lance to the molten iron. One or more blowing holes for blowing a working gas are on an inner wall side surface of the nozzle, at a site where the lance nozzle has a minimum cross-sectional area in a nozzle axis direction or at a neighboring site of the site.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: JFE STEEL CORPORATIONInventors: Yumi Murakami, Nobuhiko Oda, Yusuke Fujii, Goro Okuyama, Shota Amano, Shinji Koseki, Shingo Sato, Yukio Takahashi, Ryo Kawabata, Naoki Kikuchi, Atsuo Yuasa

Patent number: 6501035Abstract: The switching unit has the switching member on the front side and the switching member on the back side which are mutually mechanically and electrically connected when mounted on the spoke portion of the steering wheel, and is designed such that when the switching members are assembled in one unit, the elastic electrode portion on one side comes into elastic contact with the electrode pattern portion on the other side. The switching members, therefore, are not required to be assembled into one unit prior to installation on the steering wheel. In addition it is possible to dispense with such a complicated operation as electrically connecting the switching members by a wiring harness after installation to the steering wheel, therefore improving the ease of installation. Furthermore, since there is no necessity to form a through hole in the spoke portion of the steering wheel, the steering wheel will not be deteriorated in mechanical strength.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2001Date of Patent: December 31, 2002Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventor: Atsuo Takahashi
