  • Patent number: 10035247
    Abstract: A retrieval apparatus for retrieving a bolt includes a guide including an opening that passes through the guide vertically, a first plate that includes a first end, a second plate that includes a second end, the first end and the second end being arranged facing each other so as to define an adjacent region, on an upper side of the opening. When the bolt is inserted from inside the opening toward the adjacent region, the first plate and the second plate abut against the bolt and pivot upwards, and the first end and the second end abut against a side surface of the bolt and grip the bolt.

  • Patent number: 8033605
    Abstract: A vehicle seat may include a seat main body having a seat cushion, a rotation mechanism that is arranged and constructed to horizontally rotate the seat main body with respect to a vehicle floor, a vertically moving mechanism that is arranged and constructed to vertically move the seat main body while moving the seat main body between vehicle interior and vehicle exterior, and a seat support that is capable of attaching the seat main body to the vertically moving mechanism. A cushion frame of the seat cushion is composed of a pair of longitudinal side frame elements, an anchor frame positioned between the side frame elements and anchor members attached to the anchor frame. The anchor frame is connected to the seat support via reinforcement members.

  • Patent number: 4938808
    Abstract: Martensitic stainless steel sheet containing (in % by weight) 0.40% or less of C, 1.0% or less of Si, 1.0% or less of Mn, 0.6% or less of Ni, 10-14% of Cr. 0.025-0.30% of Al, and 0.025-0.060% of N, with the balance being iron and incidental impurities, has improved oxidation resistance, workability, and corrosion resistance. This type of stainless steel sheet is produced by a series of steps of hot rolling steel material of the above composition into a hot-rolled steel sheet, then softening by heating at a temperature in the range of 650.degree.-900.degree. C. for a short time within 300 seconds, and thereafter conducting pickling, cold rolling, and finish annealing. Moreover, in the above martensitic stainless steel sheet and the method of producing the same, it is desirable to set the Al content at 0.05-0.20% and/or the N content at 0.03-0.05%.
