Hideya Egoshi 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: 11118572
    Abstract: A reinforcement object is reinforced without being carried out from a wind turbine power generation facility. A method of remodeling a wind turbine power generation facility includes: a carry-in step of carrying a reinforcement member into a hub through an opening portion which has a smaller dimension than a reinforcement object inside the wind turbine power generation facility and which brings into communication inside of the hub and outside of a front side of the wind turbine power generation facility, the reinforcement member having a smaller dimension than the opening portion; and a reinforcement step of processing the reinforcement object inside the hub, and reinforcing the reinforcement object by using the reinforcement member carried into the hub.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 14, 2021
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.

  • Patent number: 8210810
    Abstract: A rotor turning device for a wind turbine generator which can be used without having to modify the existing wind turbine generator. A rotor turning device includes, on the inner periphery, a first member acting as a fixing member for fixing to a coupling hub, and on the outer periphery, a second member acting as an operating member to which operational force for rotating a rotation axis of the wind turbine generator. A pair of the first members embracingly fixes to the coupling hub of a coupling, while the second member attaches to the pair of first members to form a handle-like shape.
