Patent number: 4976661Abstract: An advancement and the advancing state of a tension rod which maintains a belt or a chain in a tension state is maintained by a coil spring. The coil spring deflects against an excess of opposite force from the belt or the chain to go back the tension rod and prevents the excess tension of the belt or the chain.The coil spring having a non-linear characteristic attached within the casing so as to be a range of the use including a changing point of a load deflection characteristic changes the number of active turns of the coil spring at the time of the resonance of the belt or the chain with changing point as the boarder.The above resonance decreases according to the change of the natural frequency of the vibration of the coil spring.The advancement of the tension rod can also be performed by the coil spring formed by the stranded wires.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1989Date of Patent: December 11, 1990Assignee: NHK Spring Co., Ltd.Inventor: Juji Ojima

Patent number: 4914788Abstract: A clamp includes a metal band body. The band body has separated both ends. The ring-shaped band body includes an outer lap portion, an inner lap portion, and an intermediate portion located between the inner and outer lap portions. A retaining hole is formed in the outer lap portion, and a hook is formed on the inner lap portion. The hook includes a sliding surface for allowing sliding of the outer lap portion when the outer and inner lap portions are relatively moved in a direction for reducing the diameter of the band body, and a hook edge hooked by an edge of the retaining hole against a force for increasing the diameter of the band body. A first projection is formed at the end of the outer lap portion to hook the distal end of a first arm of a crimping tool. A second projection is formed on the intermediate portion of the band body to hook the distal end of the second arm of the crimping tool.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1988Date of Patent: April 10, 1990Assignee: NHK Spring Co., Ltd.Inventor: Juji Ojima
