  • Publication number: 20100239198
    Abstract: The invention provides a bearing device of a compressor for a refrigerator which can widen a clearance between a sliding surface of a bearing and a surface of a crank shaft at a time of starting, while narrowing the clearance between the sliding surface of the bearing and the surface of the crank shaft at a time of a regular operation of the compressor for the refrigerator. A thickness of a resin sliding layer is set in such a manner that a bearing clearance at a starting time becomes relatively larger than a bearing clearance at a regular operating time within a range which is equal to or more than 2.5% and is equal to or less than 20%. Accordingly, since the bearing clearance becomes larger within the range which is equal to or more than 2.

  • Patent number: 7619497
    Abstract: An electrostatic micro relay, in which the contact gap between moving and fixed contacts may be increased and the reliability and high-performance regarding contacting and separating the moving contact with and from the fixed contact may be improved. In the micro relay according to the invention, as a comb-shaped moving electrode is supported at an obliquely upper position relative to a fixed comb-shaped electrode, the contact gap may be lengthened. When a predetermined voltage is applied between the contacts, the moving electrode is moved obliquely downward toward the fixed electrode such that the contact surface of the moving electrode slidably contacts the contact surface of the fixed electrode. This slidably contact may cause a wiping effect, whereby each contact surface may be kept clean.
