Keiichiro Irie has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9601252
    Abstract: Deformation is depressed where cover and connectors are integrally formed from a resin. A core body includes first and second body portions coupled to each other in the axial direction. The first body portion has a tubular shape extending in the axial direction, and a space surrounded by the inner peripheral surface thereof forms a housing space for a member that slides in the axial direction along the inner peripheral surface. The second body portion's outer peripheral surface and a bobbin body portion inner peripheral surface contact each other, and the first body portion outer peripheral surface and a target end portion inner peripheral surface, which is the bobbin body portion's end portion on the side in a direction from the second body portion toward the first body portion in the axial direction, are spaced from each other in at least a part of the region in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 9318246
    Abstract: An inexpensive solenoid drive device with high magnetic performance is implemented in which a portion accommodating a plunger and a portion attracting the plunger are integrated with a core as a ferromagnetic body. A core includes a magnetic flux limiting portion that is located in a region on the biasing direction side of a first imaginary boundary plane and that is formed so as to have a small thickness in a radial direction, and an increased diameter portion that is formed so that its thickness the radial direction is increased in a continuous or stepwise manner from the first imaginary boundary plane toward the opposite biasing direction side. The increased diameter portion has a recessed portion whose outer surface is recessed toward a radial inner surface with respect to a predetermined increased diameter reference line in axial section of the core.

  • Patent number: 8272984
    Abstract: An endless metal belt including a ring formed by laminating endless metal plates; and multiple elements continuously attached to the ring. Each of the elements has a body, a head connected to the body by a pillar, and slots formed between the body and the head on left and right sides of the pillar, respectively, for receiving the ring. The elements satisfy the equations (h/t)<1 and (S/h)>40, where h is a width of the slots, t is a plate thickness of the elements, and S is an area of the head.
