  • Valve timing controller
    Patent number: 9103241
    Abstract: A valve timing controller includes a housing, a vane rotor, and a stopper pin. The stopper pin regulates a relative rotation position of the vane rotor relative to the housing. A boss part of the vane rotor has a plurality of metal plates layered with each other in an axial direction. At least one metal plate of the plurality of metal plates has a hole in which the stopper pin is inserted, and a nail projected from an inner wall of the hole toward the stopper pin so as to hold the stopper pin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 11, 2015

  • Position adjustment device for reflector, detection method and detection device
    Patent number: 8288705
    Abstract: laser light is beamed substantially perpendicular to a screen member, while temporarily fixing the laser transmitter at three of more points at regular intervals in a rotary direction about the rotary axis TA. The rotary axis TA is defined by a straight line that passes through the light emitting opening of the laser transmitter and is substantially perpendicular to the screen member. The beamed direction of the laser light beamed from a laser transmitter is adjusted by a transmitter position adjustment portion so as to make the laser light hit the center of the three or more points on the screen member.
