Patent number: 11961687Abstract: A push switch includes a case having a housing space with an upper opening, fixed contacts provided at a bottom of the housing space in the case, a movable contact member having a dome-shaped member, the movable contact member being disposed in the housing space, and having a central portion that is brought into contact with the fixed contacts by inverting the movable contact member in response to the movable contact member being pushed by an operator, and a pushing member is disposed above the movable contact member, and the pushing member is configured to push the movable contact portion directly or through other portions upon being pushed by the operator. The pushing member pushes a portion being situated outside of a central portion of the movable contact member directly or through other portions.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ALPS ALPINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Akira Kaneko, Katsutoshi Usui, Hiroshi Ohara

Publication number: 20240087825Abstract: A pressing operation body includes an inversion spring having a dome shape; and a rubber stem configured to bend in response to pressing and press the inversion spring. The inversion spring includes a dome portion, and a plurality of leg portions that are extended outward from an outer peripheral edge of the dome portion. The rubber stem includes a base portion configured to support a lower edge of the rubber stem. The base portion includes a plurality of retaining portions configured to retain the plurality of leg portions of the inversion spring.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Hidetaka SATO, Katsutoshi USUI, Daichi TOMITA, Hideyuki ISHIDA

Publication number: 20220230821Abstract: A push switch contains a case including a housing space having an upper-opening and including fixed-contacts disposed on a bottom of the housing space, a movable contact member disposed in the housing space configured to deform in response to receiving pressure applied from above, and contacting the fixed-contacts upon defoming in response to the received pressure, and a pushing member disposed on the movable contact member and configured to transmit the received pressure to the movable contact member. The movable contact member includes a pair of first-linear edges, wherein the pushing member includes a plurality of projecting-pressing portions disposed on a bottom surface of the pushing member facing the movable contact member, and wherein the plurality of pressing portions is disposed on the bottom surface at positions not overlapping a straight-line that passes through a center of the movable contact member and intersecting each of the pair of first-linear edges.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2022Publication date: July 21, 2022Inventors: Takuya SUZUKI, Izuru SADAMATSU, Katsutoshi USUI, Shinya MAKINO

Patent number: 4557887Abstract: Silicone elastomeric films of 1 to 500 microns can be made by coating an addition-curable or dehydrocondensation-curable silicone elastomer composition on a coated paper which has a peeling resistance of no more than 50 g/cm, curing the composition, and then peeling the film from the coated paper. These thin silicone elastomeric films can be used for gas separation.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1983Date of Patent: December 10, 1985Assignee: Toray Silicone Company, Ltd.Inventors: Isao Ona, Masaru Ozaki, Katsutoshi Usui

Patent number: 4399247Abstract: Aqueous organopolysiloxane compositions are disclosed which are useful for durably treating substrates such as fibers, textiles and sheet-form materials. The aqueous organopolysiloxane compositions further contain an acid to adjust the pH of the composition to a non-basic value, an organic ester of titanic, zirconic or germanic acid and a surfactant to render the composition homogeneous. The organopolysiloxane contains monovalent hydrocarbon groups, aminohydrocarbon groups, hydroxy- or ether hydrocarbon groups and, optionally silicon-bonded hydroxyl and/or alkoxy groups.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1982Date of Patent: August 16, 1983Assignee: Toray Silicone Company, Ltd.Inventors: Isao Ona, Masaru Ozaki, Katsutoshi Usui, Yoichiro Taki

Patent number: 4311626Abstract: There is disclosed a composition of matter comprising an aminofunctional-radical-containing polydiorganosiloxane and carboxylfunctional-radical-containing polydiorganosiloxane. These compositions are useful for treating fibers to impart improved properties, such as pliability, smoothness, crease resistance, compression recovery and elongation recovery to fiber materials. The improved properties remain through washing and/or dry cleaning of the treated fiber materials.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1980Date of Patent: January 19, 1982Assignee: Toray Silicone Company, Ltd.Inventors: Isao Ona, Masaru Ozaki, Katsutoshi Usui
