Patent number: 7780200Abstract: A connecting structure for a joint member is constituted by a joint member formed from a metal material and having a hexagonal shape in cross section, which is inserted into a first port of a valve body made from a resin material. A U-shaped clip is inserted into a clip hole that confronts the first port and engages with a pin groove, which is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the joint member. In accordance therewith, axial displacement of the joint member accommodated within the first port is regulated. Further, rotational displacement of the joint member with respect to the first port, which also is formed with a hexagonal shape in cross section, is regulated while the joint member is connected with respect to the first port.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2008Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: SMC Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kaichiro Mitsui, Kazuo Ogawa

Patent number: 6807895Abstract: A pusher which has a stroke shorter than that of a piston at either position on a head side or a rod side in a cylinder main body and which serves as both means for pushing the piston from a stroke end back to an intermediate stopping position and means for stopping the piston at the intermediate stopping position is disposed so as to be movable independently from the piston, and pressing means for causing the pusher to displace to the intermediate stopping position is provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2002Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Akihiro Hirano, Kaichiro Mitsui, Mitsunori Magaribuchi, Takayuki Matsuda, Futoshi Furumaki

Patent number: 6640689Abstract: In air flow paths of a swinging apparatus in which racks are respectively provided to pistons of a pair for swinging in cylinder bores of a pair disposed in parallel in a casing, a pinion is engaged with the racks, and the pistons of the pair are synchronously driven in opposite directions to each other by synchronously supplying and discharging pressure air to and from opposite ends to each other of the pistons of the pair, the air flow paths for supplying and discharging the pressure air to and from opposite ends to each other of the pistons of the pair are formed between a bottom of the casing and a flow path forming member mounted to the bottom.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Kaichiro Mitsui, Mitsunori Magaribuchi, Naoki Hama

Patent number: 6431048Abstract: An output shaft is connected to a piston rod of a fluid pressure-driven linear cylinder through a converting mechanism for converting linear thrust of the piston rod into rotational torque and converting operation of the converting mechanism is controlled by operation setting means having a cam groove and a cam follower to thereby causing the output shaft to carry out linear motion and swinging rotation. A driving speed of the piston can be changed by adjusting fluid pressure acting on the piston in a linear motion area and a swinging area of the output shaft respectively.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2001Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: SMC CorporationInventors: Kenji Koiwa, Kaichiro Mitsui
