Patent number: 9705150Abstract: According to the method for manufacturing electrode sheets, in a first cutting step, an original sheet, including a belt-shaped metal foil and an electrode material coated thereon in a lengthwise direction to form a plurality of coated portions spaced at a predetermined gap, is cut at a location between the coated portions. In a pressing step, the original sheet strips having been cut in the first cutting step are pressed. In this case, the original sheet strips that are pressed by the rolling device are independent from each other. Therefore, the effect produced in rolling of the coated portions remains within each of the original sheet strips. In addition, distortions occurring in the original sheet strips can be prevented from affecting each other and the occurrence of wrinkles can be inhibited.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2014Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tsuyoshi Ito, Akiji Hayashi, Hiroki Ishida, Ichiro Shibata, Keisuke Omori

Patent number: 7775925Abstract: An oil-free chain has bushings which protrude from the outer surfaces of the inner link plates into which they are press-fit, and extend into bushing supporting bores formed in the inner surfaces of the outer link plates of the chain. These bushing supporting bores are formed by a pressing operation which produces offsets in portions of the outer plate, so that, as the bushing supporting bores are formed in the inner surfaces of the outer plates, bosses are simultaneously formed on the outer surfaces. The connecting pins of the chain are press-fit into pin holes in these bosses. The bushing supporting bores are formed without removal of material by machining, and therefore the strength of the outer plates is not compromised.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Tsubakimoto Chain Co.Inventors: Takashi Nakagawa, Hiroki Ishida, Toshihiko Aoki, Hirofumi Miki

Patent number: 7748515Abstract: A storage conveyor that secures a number of stored workpieces while saving space is provided. When a sprocket on a driving side is driven to rotate in a forward/reverse direction by a chain drive motor, opposing bend suppression members between a pair of chains are successively engaged/disengaged, and an opposing portion between the pair of chains is extended/retracted with respect to a workpiece conveyance surface. Thus, workpieces are passed between the workpiece conveyance surface and workpiece receivers. Consequently, the workpieces can be stored in a vertical direction (up-down direction), making it possible to secure the number of stored workpieces while saving space.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2007Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignees: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, Tsubakimoto Chain Co.Inventors: Shinji Hishioka, Yasuhide Nakamura, Masashi Nakamura, Toshimitsu Sakai, Syunji Sakura, Hiroki Ishida

Patent number: 7635314Abstract: In a chain transmission in which a roller chain transmits power from a driving sprocket to one or more driven sprockets, the sprocket teeth are shaped so that at a location radially outward from the sprocket pitch circle, the distance between the front surface of each sprocket tooth to a radial reference line from the sprocket center through the center of the tooth root, is at least as great as the distance from the centerline to the front tooth surface at the pitch circle. The tooth faces merge smoothly with the tooth gap bottom, the sprocket root diameter is smaller than the root diameter according to ISO standards, and the radius of the arcuate tooth gap bottom is greater than the radius of the chain roller.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2005Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Tsubakimoto Chain Co.Inventors: Aizoh Kubo, Hiroki Ishida, Masatoshi Sonoda
