Patent number: 8420200Abstract: A preform for an optical element is provided which involves less amount of deformation of glass in molding, and readily improves lifetime of the mold. The present preform for molding an optical glass element 10 exhibits an almost circular shape having a predetermined diameter in top view, exhibits a flattened semicircular shape having a predetermined overall height in side view, has a concave face on the top surface such that the predetermined overall height is attained at approximately the central position of the aforementioned circular shape, and has a concave face so as to fit along the convex face of the top surface such that a space is provided on the bottom face. The under surface may be either a concave face or a convex face. Also, the top surface may be either a concave face or a convex face.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Ohara Inc.Inventors: Futoshi Ishizaki, Shigeki Fukuda, Kenji Sugizaki

Patent number: 7587913Abstract: A globular glass manufacturing apparatus includes: a flow nozzle to flow a molten glass in a form of continuous flow, a collection tank to collect droplet-like glass gobs deformed from the molten glass flowing in a form of continuous flow during fall. Further, the globular glass manufacturing apparatus comprises a gas nozzle to shift one or both of falling trajectories of the glass gobs neighboring above and below by blowing gas to the glass gobs or sucking the glass gobs, wherein the gas nozzle rotates in which the center is on falling trajectory of the glass gobs.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2004Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha OharaInventors: Akimasa Yamagata, Futoshi Ishizaki, Kenji Sugizaki

Patent number: 5222761Abstract: An airbag restraint system for protecting a vehicle passenger in the event of a vehicle serious collision from the lateral side direction of the vehicle. The system comprises an airbag which is disposed at each of doors and a center console located at a center portion between right and left seats. An acceleration sensor is disposed at each of lateral sides of the vehicle to detect side directional impact to the vehicle. When the vehicle is crashed at the one lateral side of the vehicle, the airbags at an impacted side and the center airbag are inflated. Similarly, when the vehicle is crashed at the the other lateral side of the vehicle, the impacted side airbags and the center airbag are inflated.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Ikeda Bussan Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masao Kaji, Futoshi Ishizaki, Masayoshi Chihaya
