Patent number: 8419448Abstract: The present invention provides technology with high production efficiency for an elastic connector that electrically connects two connection target members. The technology enables an initial product to be quickly completed with a low initial cost, in correspondence to any distance between the connection target members and any angle formed between them. An elastic connector was obtained by forming a major-axis columnar body, in which a conductive part was formed by cross linking and hardening (solidifying) conductive members inside a tube-like part formed of an insulative rubber tube, and then cutting the major-axis columnar body with a cutting blade along a cutting line, which is in a direction crossing the axis of the major-axis columnar body, to shorten the major-axis columnar body. This elastic connector eliminates the need to create a new metal mold in its manufacturing.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2010Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Polymatech Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hideaki Konno

Patent number: 7724539Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a holder having a pressure flange not to be easily disengaged from a small-sized electronic part in pressing and accommodating the holder having the small-sized electronic part in a mounting recess. A holder includes a projecting portion protruding from a pressing flange toward a cylinder axis of a holding portion, formed in a portion having a predetermined length of an inner edge of the pressing flange. With this construction, when the holder accommodating a small-sized electronic part is mounted to a casing of an apparatus, even if the pressing flange is rolled up and about to be disengaged from the small-sized electronic part, the projecting portion engages with the small-sized electronic part, thereby preventing the pressing flange from being rolled up.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2006Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Polymatech Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hideaki Konno

Patent number: 7563121Abstract: The present invention Provides a discharge tube connector which suppresses the occurrence of a damage of a discharge tube at the time of installation and can be easily installed. An end electrode of the discharge tube and a board electrode on a circuit board can be electrically connected with each other through a conductive connection portion without using lead wires, so a damage such as a crack and the like, of a light-emitting portion of the discharge tube can be avoided. When a holding portion is made of a rubber-like elastic material, the conductive connection portion has rubber-like elasticity, so the conductive connection portion can be pressed between the end electrode and the board electrode on the circuit board to conductively connect the end electrode with the board electrode. Therefore, the soldering operation can be omitted. Thus, installation does not take time, so a manufacturing cost can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Polymatech Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Ikeda, Hideaki Konno
