  • Patent number: 7243498
    Abstract: A fin structure for heat-exchanging, the fin structure being mounted on a heat-dissipating portion of a Stirling cycle cooler, wherein the fin structure is configured by coupling a plurality of unit structures, the plurality of unit structures being split by a plurality of surfaces extending from a inner circumference of the fin structure toward an outer circumference thereof. The fin structure is configured thus way, whereby it can be mounted on the heat-dissipating portion so as to sandwich the heat-dissipating portion from the outer circumference thereof by the plurality of unit structures coupled one another. Accordingly, when mounting the fin structure, large force is not required, no adhesive filler is applied to an unneeded portion of the Stirling cycle cooler, and generating a scratch or a distortion on the casing of the Stirling cycle cooler can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 7122919
    Abstract: A ring-shaped permanent magnet comprising a Nd—Fe—B magnetic material is integrally insert-molded within a distal part of an inner periphery of a cylindrical supporting member. By employing this structure, a coaxial alignment accuracy of the permanent magnet relative to the supporting member depends on only an accuracy of a die for insert-molding. Accordingly, the coaxial alignment accuracy improves, Moreover, the ring-shaped permanent magnet comprising the Nd—Fe—B magnetic material expands in its radial direction when cooled down, while the supporting member comprising a resin contracts, thus the permanent magnet is firmly held by the supporting member. Indeed, a pore space is not created between a bonded surface of the supporting member and that of the permanent magnet. Therefore, the coaxial alignment accuracy will not go wrong.

  • Patent number: 6668862
    Abstract: A fluid bearing mechanism using a one-way valve with such a simple structure that high processing accuracy is not required. A one-way valve 6 includes a valve base 7; an abutting portion 11 protruding inwardly, formed with a small communication hole 12 in a center thereof; a moveable element 8 which is moveable inside the valve base 7 in an axial direction; and a retaining body 9 for retaining the moveable element 8 between the abutting portion 11 and itself inside the valve base 7. The retaining body 9 includes ventilation grooves 8b, 9c for communicating an inside with an outside of the valve base 7. When the piston 2 is moved toward the compressing direction, the moveable element 8 is shifted toward the inside of the piston 2 due to the inner pressure of the cylinder 1 and its inertial force, thus opening the small communication hole 12.

  • Patent number: 4312596
    Abstract: A beating blade member for beating or whipping cooking material such as egg into froth. The blade member has blades each of which has a vertically stretched and radially extending beating surface in which formed are a multiplicity of meshes. Thanks to the provision of these meshes, it is possible to obtain fine contact of the material with the blade to promote the stirring and beating. Also, these meshes effectively catch the ambient air to permit a better mixing of the material with the air. At the same time, the material is guided to flow radially inwardly, as well as in the vertical direction, so as to ensure the interference of the material with the meshes of the blades. Consequently, the material is beaten and whipped into froth in quite a short period of time.
