Patent number: 8979082Abstract: A vibration damping bushing including: an inner axial member; an outer cylindrical member through which the inner axial member is inserted; a main rubber elastic body elastically connecting the two members; and a stopper member that is fitted onto the inner axial member as a component of a first stopper mechanism that limits relative displacement of the inner axial member against the outer cylindrical member to one side in an axial direction. The inner axial member is formed with a latching depression that opens toward an outer periphery thereof, and the stopper member is provided with a latching piece that protrudes outward in the axial direction. The latching piece is engaged with the latching depression so as to provide a slipping out prevention mechanism for preventing the stopper member from slipping out from the inner axial member.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignees: Tokai Rubber Industries, Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Makino, Chiharu Tanaka, Akira Kobayashi

Publication number: 20020044295Abstract: A printer device includes a plurality of memory card slots, a printing/copying key, a printing key, a copying key, etc. When a user presses the printing/copying key, a selected picture frame (image information) is printed and copied substantially simultaneously. When the printing key is pressed, the selected picture frame is printed. When the copying key is pressed, the selected picture frame is copied. However, when the printing key and the copying key are continuously pressed without changing the picture frame, the picture frame selected in the preceding process is used in the subsequent process.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2001Publication date: April 18, 2002Applicant: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventor: Chiharu Tanaka

Patent number: 6132818Abstract: Prepared is a transcribing plate comprising a glass substrate and a chromium film formed on a surface of the glass substrate. The transcribing plate is disposed on a surface of an object (for example, a glass substrate of a plasma display panel) such that the chromium film faces the surface of the object. The transcribing plate is pressed toward the object, if necessary. A predetermined identification code pattern is drawn on the transcribing plate by a YAG laser beam. The laser beam reaches, through the glass plate, the chromium film to heat it. Chromium vapors generated by the heating are deposited on the surface of the object. This means that the identification code pattern is transcribed on the object surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1997Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignees: Omron Corporation, Miyachi Technos CorporationInventors: Chiharu Tanaka, Tatsuya Nakano, Mitsuo Yonemori, Takeshi Tomita, Masayuki Abe
