Patent number: 9044771Abstract: An improved pump is provided that is capable of achieving excellent back suction function by using a depression head, without compromising the ease of depression operations of the head due to the additional function. The pump includes a depression head and an annular piston. The depression head is urged upward and is relatively displaceable with respect to the stem. When depressed, a lever member of the depression head operates to open a discharge opening. An annular piston opens a discharge valve, in an uppermost displacement position and closes the discharge valve in a lowermost displacement position. Back suction is caused due to a negative pressure state occurring in the stem until the discharge valve seat is closed by the annular piston during upward displacement of the stem.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhito Kuwahara, Hiroyuki Nakamura, Toru Toma

Patent number: 8474656Abstract: A syringe has a dripless feature by using an O-ring located between a conical disc and a flat plunger disc in an annular groove on a moving plunger. The flat plunger disc has a series of projections that offset the o-ring off the flat plunger disc surface when the plunger is not actuated. When the plunger is actuated, the o-ring distorts to rest on the projections and also on the surface of the flat plunger disc. When the plunger is released, the o-ring's resiliency pulls the o-ring back to its original shape which sucks back the fluid being dispensed so that no or less drips occur.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2007Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignees: Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc., Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideto Kunishi, Yasujiro Ohara, Katsuhito Kuwahara, Toru Toma, Satoshi Sakamoto

Patent number: 7472809Abstract: A liquid jetting pump of the present invention is constructed such that an intra container liquid is sucked into a cylinder 3 through a suction valve 9 by moving a vertically movable member 4 up and down, and the intra cylinder liquid is jetted out of a nozzle 29 through a discharge valve 31 from a stem 28. A plurality of ribs 10 are protruded in a peripheral direction from a lower edge part within the cylinder. Engagement recessed portions 11 are formed in inner parts of the upper surfaces of the ribs. A lower edge of a coil spring 39 for biasing the vertically movable member 4 is secured to each of the engagement recessed portions 11, thereby permitting a flow of liquid on both sides of the lower edge of the spring internally externally.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinji Shimada, Katsuhito Kuwahara, Takao Kishi, Takayuki Abe, Shuzo Endo, Yuji Kohara, Takamitsu Nozawa

Patent number: 7410079Abstract: An accumulator-type liquid sprayer includes a piston arranged in a cylinder, a piston guide extending through a passage extending therethrough in an axial direction of the piston, so as to be engageable with, and disengageable from the piston, cooperating with the piston and the cylinder to form a space region for sucking and pressurizing a liquid, a check valve for opening a suction port of the cylinder during suction of the liquid, and a hollow stem slidably fitted with an outer side of the piston in a liquid-tight manner and engaging with an end portion of the piston guide. A first resilient member urges the piston guide against the piston for maintaining a closed state of the passage in the piston, and a second resilient member urges the piston against the piston guide for adjusting a spraying pressure of the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2002Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhito Kuwahara, Takayuki Goto
