Patent number: 6801440Abstract: A plurality of module substrates have circuit boards, respectively. The circuit boards are stacked with a space therebetween, and are connected to first end portions of connecting members. The second end portions of the connecting members are connected to connecting pads disposed on a motherboard. The module substrates are thus stacked and mounted on the motherboard so as to increase the mounting density. By causing the connecting members for the upper circuit board to project further than the connecting members for the lower circuit board, the connecting members for the upper and lower circuit boards are prevented from touching each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2001Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiji Inoue, Yasuo Ohashi, Toru Yoshikawa

Patent number: 6633220Abstract: To prevent a substrate for mounting electronic components from being damaged when cores are rubbed together during assembly, a pair of core members sandwich a part of a coil pattern formed on the substrate from the top and bottom sides of the substrate, and the core members are held together by a core-combining member. A cover member is fixed to the substrate to cover the upper side of the core-combining member. Inclined ribs on the cover member raise the core-combining member by abutting against external inclined fates of leg portions of the core-combining member. A clearance thereby is formed between internal faces of a top bar portion of each core member and a surface of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2001Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiji Inoue, Tsutomu Ishige

Patent number: 6513230Abstract: A core-coupling unit includes a top cover and a bottom cover each having a U-shape. The core-coupling unit clamps a pair of core members in a coupled state with the top cover and the bottom cover being coupled with each other. The top cover is provided with apertures formed in respective legs of the top cover, and the bottom cover is provided with projections formed on respective legs of the bottom cover, the projections mating with the apertures so as to prevent removal. Play-gaps are provided between each projection and respective front and rear edges of the aperture. Lips are provided on the covers for maintaining the positions of the core members in the backward and forward directions. The top and bottom covers are moved backward and forward relative to each other while the core members are clamped, whereby the core members are moved together with the respective top and bottom covers, thereby performing core-rubbing.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiji Inoue, Jun Nagai, Tadahiro Matsumoto

Patent number: 6478377Abstract: A juvenile safety car seat has a seat portion and a backrest portion forming a support and defining a support space for supporting a child. A pair of side guards are outwardly movably provided on left and right sides of the backrest portion for protecting the head and the shoulder regions of the child. The lower portions of the side guards, which protect the child's shoulders, have a greater range of outward lateral movement than the upper portions of the side guards, which protect the child's head. A vertical position adjusting mechanism for adjusting the vertical position of the backrest portion is provided between the seat portion and the backrest portion. The car seat can be selectively adjusted to suit the growth state of the child.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2000Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Aprica Kassai KabushikikaishaInventors: Kenzou Kassai, Keiji Inoue
