  • Publication number: 20140283645
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a sufficiently strong, box-shaped protective cover for a vibrating compactor inexpensively using a small number of processes and only simple processes, and provides a protective cover for a vibrating compactor. A box-shaped protective cover that covers an upper structural portion of a body of a vibrating compactor is manufactured by executing a cutting process for fashioning a single metal plate into a shape including a first planar portion 1, a second planar portion 2, an intermediate portion 3, and a plurality of side flaps 5 (5a to 5d), a bending process for bending or curving the side flaps 5 and the intermediate portion 3, and a welding process for welding a side flap 5a (or 5b) of the first planar portion 1 to a side flap 5c (or 5d) of the second planar portion 2.

  • Publication number: 20140185148
    Abstract: In a zoom lens of a fixed total length, at the time of changing the magnification from the wide-angle end toward the telephoto end, the first lens group is anchored while the second lens group is moved, and the third and fourth lens groups are moved so as to be located at the object side of the telephoto end relative to the wide-angle end, such that: the interval between the second and third lens groups is decreased at the telephoto end relative to the wide-angle end; the interval between the third and fourth lens groups is increased at the telephoto end relative to the wide-angle end; and the interval between the fourth and fifth lens groups is increased at the telephoto end relative to the wide-angle end, and at the time of focusing a near object point from a remote object point, the second lens group is moved.

  • Patent number: 8740311
    Abstract: A cutting apparatus has a main body including a body frame, wheels, a motor and a blade; a blade cover; and a slide guide. A cutting depth of the blade is adjustable. A blade cover casing entirely covers the blade. A slider having left and right linear portions is attached to a rear surface of the casing. The slide guide has circular-arc portions and flaps for sandwiching the linear portions of the slider. A gap is formed between the flaps and a side surface of the body frame. By sandwiching the linear portions of the slider between a flap and the body frame, and sandwiching the circular-arc portions between the left and right linear portions, the blade cover can slide in the up-down direction with respect to the slide guide and the body frame and can rotate about the circular-arc portions.

  • Patent number: 7495808
    Abstract: PC link software stored in a personal computer searches for software installed in the personal computer and determines a file format that can be handled in the resulting software for sending to MFP. When MFP receives a destination for scanned image data, file formats displayable at that destination are displayed to allow the user to select in which format the data is sent. Therefore such a situation can be prevented in that the sent image data cannot be displayed at a personal computer.

  • Patent number: 7337765
    Abstract: An engine stop switch and a fuel open-close lock are accommodated in a throttle lever case so that they can be easily disassembled, and the engine stop switch is turned on and off and the fuel open-close cock is opened and closed adequately by the actuation of a rotary valve in response to the turning of a lever. An engine stop switch and a fuel open-close lock are integrally incorporated in a throttle lever case, a partially toothless driven gear is intermittently rotated via a partially toothless drive gear rotated by a lever, and the intermittent rotation of the partially toothless driven gear turns on/off the engine stop switch and opens/closes the fuel open/close cock.

  • Publication number: 20070277772
    Abstract: The present invention provides a protective cover structure for a rammer for which a guard cover plate of a power engine in a rammer is molded from a synthetic resin allowing any shape to be freely obtained and having small weight, high strength, and impact absorption ability. The cover plate is configured so that it can be assembled and disassembled by simple operations, has good endurance with respect to severe vibrations and can reduce the damage of the machine body due to the adequate impact absorption ability even when the rammer tumbles. Front end sections of guard covers disposed on both sides of a power engine are joined and fixed to the front surface section of the crank chamber, lower sections of the rear portions are supported by support frames of a protective stand provided at the lower surface of the power engine, and the rear sections of the rear portions are linked integrally by a linking transverse pole.
