  • Publication number: 20150191335
    Abstract: Provided is a chain block with which a reduction in size can be achieved while inhibiting a reduction in strength. A chain block is provided with: a load-sheave hollow shaft which is provided with a load sheave that rotates to feed a load chain, said load-sheave hollow shaft having a hollow core along the axial direction thereof; a drive shaft which is inserted into the hollow core, and which is provided with a flange portion protruding radially outward from one end side to a base side of a separate gear part; and a reduction gear member provided with a first reduction gear part which meshes with the gear part. An accommodating recess is provided at the one end side of the hollow core, said accommodating recess having a bottom part which is where the flange part is positioned, and which is in contact with the flange part. An inclined portion, which gradually inclines further towards the gear part side as said inclined portion approaches a centre side in the radial direction, is provided to the flange portion.

  • Publication number: 20150166312
    Abstract: Provided is a chain block with which wheel cover strength can be improved while inhibiting an increase in cost, without the need for separate reinforcement members. A chain block is provided with a wheel cover which is attached to a frame member, and which covers a hand-chain wheel having a hand chain looped thereover. A plurality of fixation holes for having fixation members inserted therethrough during attachment to the frame member are provided in peripheral edge sections of end-surface sides of the wheel cover, said end-surface sides being disposed facing the frame member. Wrap-around portions are provided to wheel-cover side surfaces which intersect the end surfaces, said wrap-around portions being formed so as to surround, at an angle exceeding 90, the fixation holes in the peripheral direction of the fixation holes.

  • Publication number: 20150064409
    Abstract: There is provided a method for manufacturing a joint member obtained by joining a carbon fiber composite material containing a thermoplastic resin as a matrix and a metal. The method includes a step (i) of forming an uneven shape having a depth of 0.02 to 0.6 mm on a surface of the metal at a joining portion; a step (ii) of providing a thermoplastic resin layer having a thickness in the range of 5?m or more and 5 mm or less at a joining portion between the surface of the metal and a surface of the composite material; and a step (iii) of melting the thermoplastic resin layer by heating the joining portion to thereby combine the metal and the composite material into one.

  • Publication number: 20130236767
    Abstract: An example of the present invention is provided with porous sheets 11, 21 each formed by layering a porous base material including a polyolefin and a heat-resistant porous layer including a heat-resistant resin. The porous sheets 11, 21, respectively, are connected at connecting regions 15a and 15b, 25a and 25b, respectively, which have been formed by thermal fusion of the heat-resistant porous layers facing each other by folding the sheets. Furthermore, the porous sheets 11, 21 are additionally connected at a connecting region 27 that has been formed by thermal fusion.
