  • Patent number: 10252547
    Abstract: A printing press includes a printing cylinder, inkjet heads, and an ink drying lamp. A non-metal sheet is attached to an outer surface of the printing cylinder. The non-metal sheet includes a main body made of a non-metal material in a sheet-like shape, and a plurality of ventilation portions through which air passes in a thickness direction of the main body. This makes it possible to efficiently dissipate heat of the printing cylinder while preventing the printing cylinder from being overheated when an amount of heat generated at the time of printing is transferred to the surface of the printing cylinder.

  • Patent number: 9812850
    Abstract: A wire harness includes an electrical connection box. The electrical connection box includes a body in which an electronic component is mounted and a lower cover. The lower cover covers a rectangular frame and a vertically lower end portion of the rectangular frame, and includes: a bottom disposed parallel to a panel of a vehicle body, the panel facing the lower cover; an inlet having the smallest distance from the panel; and a channel-forming depression. The channel-forming depression is provided on the vertically lower side than the inlet, formed by bending at least a part of the bottom toward the inside of the lower cover, and formed along a surface of the panel, so as to allow liquid that has entered between the bottom and the panel to flow to the outside.

  • Patent number: 8269103
    Abstract: An electrical junction box is fixed via at least one mounting foot to a component-fixation section in a crushable zone of a vehicle. The mounting foot includes a breakage-inducing portion. The breakage-inducing portion is provided between an insertion hole into which a fastening bolt is inserted for fixation of the electrical junction box, and an outer edge of the mounting foot. The breakage-inducing portion is provided such that a body of the box is displaced in a displacement direction in a vehicle collision, and the breakage-inducing portion resides on a displacement trajectory that the fastening bolt may describe. The breakage-inducing portion provided on the displacement trajectory of the fastening bolt includes a throughhole and a notch.
