  • Patent number: 11953733
    Abstract: A light source unit includes a plurality of light sources emitting light for irradiating an object, and a holding portion holding the plurality of light sources having an insertion hole for an optical fiber inserted therethrough to propagate the light from the object formed therein. The holding portion holds each of the plurality of light sources such that an irradiation region of the light of each of the plurality of light sources is formed on one side of the holding portion. The insertion hole has a first opening that is an opening facing the irradiation region and a second opening that is an opening different from the first opening, and is formed in the holding portion such that one end surface of the optical fiber is exposed from the first opening and faces the irradiation region when the optical fiber is inserted therethrough.

  • Patent number: 11938752
    Abstract: An omnidirectional wheel whose outer circumference surface is formed by pluralities of rollers, and includes a rotating part that rotates around a rotation axis. A plurality of supports are arranged in a circumferential direction of the rotating part and each mounted on the rotating part. The rollers include a plurality of first rollers and a plurality of second rollers. Each support has a first arm supporting one end side of a corresponding first roller of the plurality of first rollers, and a second arm supporting the other end side of the corresponding first roller. A corresponding second roller of the plurality of second rollers is supported by the first arm of one of two supports that are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction and the second arm of the other one of the two supports.
