  • Patent number: 11821552
    Abstract: There is provided a hose clamp, including a plate spring body and a pair of tab portions. The plate spring body has a base portion, and arm portions. A first overlap portion and a second overlap portion are formed at the arm portions, and in a state where a diameter of the plate spring body is reduced, the first overlap portion and the second overlap portion overlap with each other in the circumferential direction of the plate spring body. Engagement portions are provided on facing surfaces of the pair of tab portions respectively, the engagement portions holding the plate spring body in a state where the diameter of the plate spring body is expanded. The engagement portions are provided at positions closer to side edge portions being opposite to facing side edge portions of the overlap portions than to the facing side edge portions.

  • Patent number: 11441712
    Abstract: A hose clamp includes a clamp main body including a ring portion and a pair of knob portions; and a holder. The holder includes a main body portion, a pair of holding walls, and an operation portion. An inner surface on a distal end side of one holding wall includes a protrusion that protrudes more largely inward than an inner surface on a distal end side of other holding wall. And in a state where the pair of knob portions are close to each other, a distal end of one knob portion in a peripheral direction is engaged with the inner surface of the one holding wall, and the other knob portion is engaged with the inner surface of the other holding wall, so that the ring portion is kept in a diameter-increased state.

  • Patent number: 10036500
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a hose clamp has a leaf spring body, a slit and a first knob piece at one end, and an insertion piece and a second knob piece at the other end. An interlocking piece is formed in the first knob piece, and an engaging holding part is formed in the second knob piece. When the hose clamp is viewed from the outside in the radial direction while the leaf spring body is in a free state of being compressed, the first knob piece and the second knob piece are extended outward in the width direction so as to be separated.

  • Patent number: 6850694
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a video signal processing apparatus for outputting an inputted video signal after subjecting the video signal to time axis correction, particularly to a video signal processing apparatus preferable in the case of subjecting the video signal to image compression. In the case in which a nonstandard signal is inputted to an image compression circuit of an MPEG2 encoder or the like, a drawback of freezing image or generating block noise or the like is resolved. A time axis correcting circuit stores an input signal to a memory and reads the input signal at a timing delayed from V synchronization of the input signal by a predetermined time period. For that purpose, a read synchronizing signal generator is reset at respective input field. A reset position is set to a position preceding the read V synchronization position by 3H through 10H.

  • Patent number: 6819363
    Abstract: For horizontal sync information HD suitable for use in image processing module, e.g., module for TBC features, image compression recording/playback features, and LCD displaying features, it would be desirable that the time base fluctuations of the video input signal is faithfully reflected and that an interpolated HD generating feature is provided. A module for generating pulses generates the trailing edges of Csync as the trailing edge HD, and switches to an interpolated HD when a dropped pulse is detected after a few microseconds delay in the leading edge relative to the standard pulse. Thus, the trailing edge HD is selected within a time base fluctuation on the order of a few microseconds and the time base fluctuation is faithfully reflected and interpolation features can also be provided.

  • Publication number: 20020191951
    Abstract: A conventional image recording apparatus like a video camera recorder may often bring about coding noises if an image to be inputted or a target object reaches a certain degree of complexity. The remaining time when data is to be recorded on a recording medium may be so varied according to the magnitude of the coding rate that the time cannot be easily grasped. To overcome these problems, the present image recording apparatus is arranged to vary the display based on the coding rate according to the magnitude of the coding rate so that the user can grasp how much the coding noises appear with sense. Further, by displaying the remaining volume and the coding rate of the recording medium associated therewith, the decreasing pace of the remaining time may be notified to the user.
