Patent number: 8791380Abstract: An acceleration switch includes a mass body having a space therein, a single arc-shaped beam supporting the mass body, a support portion supporting the arc-shaped beam, and a counter electrode disposed in the space of the mass body. The arc-shaped beam is arranged so as to surround the mass body, and the support portion is disposed at a periphery of the mass body. An electrode interval corresponding to a distance between an inner side surface of the mass body and an outer side surface of the counter electrode is 1 ?m or more and 20 ?m or less.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2011Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignees: Seiko Instruments Inc.Inventors: Sadashi Shimoda, Kazuo Toda

Patent number: 8772657Abstract: An acceleration switch has a frame fixed to a first substrate, a beam positioned inside the frame and supported by the frame, and a mass body supported by the beam and having a hole portion at substantially a center thereof. A central body is positioned inside the hole portion and fixed to the first substrate. The hole portion or the central body are suitably configured, or the position of the hole portion or the position of the center body is suitably selected, so that the acceleration switch is capable of detecting a predetermined acceleration irrespective of the influence of gravity acceleration.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2013Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignees: Seiko Instruments Inc.Inventors: Sadashi Shimoda, Kazuo Toda

Patent number: 6040049Abstract: A composite film for forming a resinous coating film on a surface of a to-be-coated material. The composite film has at least one water-soluble resinous coating film, at least one of which is formed on a surface of the composite film which is brought into contact with the surface of the to-be-coated material closely, and a base sheet to which the water-soluble resinous coating film adheres and transmits light therethrough. The water-soluble resinous coating film formed on the surface of the composite film which is brought into contact with the surface of the to-be-coated material closely is hardened in close contact with the to-be-coated material, with water interposed between the water-soluble resinous coating film and the to-be-coated material and adheres to the to-be-coated material to form a water-insoluble coating film. It is preferable that the application amount of the water is in a range of 1.5 g/m.sup.2 -10 g/m.sup.2.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1997Date of Patent: March 21, 2000Assignee: GEN Maintenance Technology Inc.Inventors: Youji Tominaga, Kazuo Toda, Nobuo Yamamura

Patent number: 4812387Abstract: The present invention is for a method of forming a coating film used for filling the space between the color stripes for a color filter which is used for colorization of a liquid crystal display. In particular, the light-shielding electrodeposition coating is first formed in a transparent electric conductive circuit pattern so as to suppress the reaction of a photo-setting material against light which is to be applied to the electrodeposition coating.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1987Date of Patent: March 14, 1989Assignee: Shinto Paint Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tameyuki Suzuki, Junichi Yasukawa, Toyokazu Nomura, Kazuo Toda, Takuro Kamakura, Toshiaki Ota

Patent number: 4429626Abstract: A juice extractor device comprises a juice extractor body having a horizontally disposed slightly conical internal bore and a rotary body mounted in said bore. The juice extractor body includes a material inlet port on the upper side of the base end of the extractor body, a juice discharge port along the lower side of the extractor body, and a residuum discharge port on the upper side of the outer end of the body, and each port communicates with the bore. The juice discharge port includes a filter whose inner surface has a curvature equal to that of the bore surface. The rotary body is disposed adjacent all the ports and comprises an outer circumferential surface which has a spiral compressing portion confronting the two discharge ports and a spiral blade confronting the inlet port. The spiral compressing portion comprises a spiral wing and a valley therealong. The spiral blade, which is continuous with the spiral wing, also comprises a valley therealong.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1981Date of Patent: February 7, 1984Assignee: Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keisuke Ihara, Kazuo Toda, Shozi Hoshino
