  • Patent number: 8689703
    Abstract: A weld-joining structure between an outer panel and an attachment is achieved, which is advantageous in terms of appearance, workability, and cost. To weld-join the outer panel and the attachments including, such as frame members and opening frames and opening frame members, which is a reinforcement or an interior or exterior member for use in the outer panel, the outer panel and the attachment placed on the outer panel are weld-joined by laser welding at overlapping portions of the outer panel and the attachment. The laser welding is performed along a polishing mark formed in one direction on an externally exposed-side surface of the outer panel and the attachment.

  • Patent number: 8240255
    Abstract: A body frame structure having practically sufficient strength is provided. The body frame structure has a simple structure that can be obtained by simple joining operation. Vertically and horizontally arranged first and second frame members are weld-joined to an outer panel with an end portion of the second frame member facing a side surface of the first frame member. The first frame member is placed in a straddling manner on the outer panel and the end portion of the second frame member weld-joined to the outer panel and is weld-joined to both the second frame member and the outer panel. In this manner, even when the vertically and horizontally arranged first and second frame members are laser-welded to the outer panel, the joint strength can be improved without using a joint plate.

  • Patent number: 4731050
    Abstract: An improved moxibustion case also performs acupressure. The moxibustion case is constructed with a cylindrical body having a moxa holder attached to its end portion to hold a cylindrical moxa slidably in its longitudinal direction and a cap member having a rear end portion fitted rotatably to the front end portion of the cylindrical body and a front wall having a discharge opening for a moxa combustion gas to treat a desired part of the body. Air supply openings at the circumference and along the length of the cylindrical body near its middle to control the moxa fire-force.
