    Abstract: A cooling device includes: a cooling fan; a shroud provided at an outer circumferential side of the cooling fan; an inner circumferential wall provided on the shroud and adjacent to the outer circumference of the cooling fan; and an outer circumferential wall provided to surround the inner circumferential wall. An air-flow-direction downstream side end of the outer circumferential wall is positioned at a further downstream position in an air flow direction than an air-flow-direction downstream side end of the inner circumferential wall. An air-flow-direction downstream side end of the cooling fan is positioned at a further downstream position than the air-flow-direction downstream side end of the inner circumferential wall. A ratio between a length of the outer circumferential wall and a length of the inner circumferential wall in the air flow direction is 1.07 or more and 1.81 or less, and a width between the outer circumferential wall and the inner circumferential wall is 15 mm or more and 55 mm or less.

  • Patent number: 9228318
    Abstract: A cooling device includes: a cooling fan; a shroud provided at an outer circumferential side of the cooling fan; an inner circumferential wall provided on the shroud and adjacent to the outer circumference of the cooling fan so as to surround the cooling fan; an outer circumferential wall provided to surround the inner circumferential wall. An air-flow-direction downstream side end of the outer circumferential wall is positioned at a further downstream position in an air flow direction than an air-flow-direction downstream side end of the inner circumferential wall. The cooling fan is rotatable within a space provided on a radially inner side of the inner circumferential wall. The air-flow-direction downstream side end of the outer circumferential wall is provided at a further upstream position in the air flow direction than an air-flow-direction downstream side end of the cooling fan.

  • Patent number: 8329845
    Abstract: The present invention provides a divided redox-curing type composition including a first part in which at least an oxidizing agent (b) is dissolved in a first radical monomer including a radical monomer (a) having an acidic group and/or a hydrophilic group; and a second part in which at least an aromatic sulfinate (d) is dispersed in a second radical monomer including a radical monomer (c) having neither an acidic group nor a hydrophilic group. According to the present invention, a redox-curing type composition capable of securing a time necessary for an adhesion operation and exhibiting high bond strength not only at the initial stage of adhesion but also over a long period of time thereafter in application to a wetting material such as a tooth or a bone as well as a tooth crown repairing material such as a metal or porcelain.
