Patents by Inventor Hideki Simamoto

Hideki Simamoto has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7843680
    Abstract: A capacitor is provided to overcome the following problem: when plural capacitors are linked, a large coupling space is required because an anode and a cathode are brought out through the opposite ends, so that downsizing of the capacitor is difficult. The capacitor also allows easy electrical and mechanical coupling, reducing the required coupling space and unnecessary resistance. According to a structure of the capacitor, capacitor element (2) is enclosed in mechanical housing (3) having an opening sealed by terminal plate (4). Terminal slip (5), which includes rib (5b) to be coupled to one of the anode and the cathode of capacitor element (2) and terminal (5a), is insert-molded into terminal plate (4). The other of the anode and the cathode is coupled to an inner bottom face of metal housing (3). The one of the anode and the cathode is brought out through terminal (5a), and the other of the anode and the cathode is brought out through metal housing (3), thus a lower resistance is expected.

The capacitor also allows easy electrical and mechanical coupling, reducing the coupling space and unnecessary resistance. A structure of the capacitor is this: Capacitor element (2) is enclosed in mechanical housing (3) of which opening is sealed by terminal plate (4). Terminal slip (5), which includes rib (5b) to be coupled to a first electrode of capacitor element (2) and terminal (5a), is insert-molded into terminal plate (4). A second electrode is coupled to an inner bottom face of metal housing (3). One of the anode or the cathode is brought out through terminal (5a), and the remaining one is brought out through metal housing (3), thus a lower resistance is expected.
