  • Publication number: 20190160215
    Abstract: To provide a blood treatment filter device capable of efficiently utilizing a blood treatment filter. A blood treatment filter device 20 has a filter sheet 26 through which a specific component among components forming blood is harder to pass than other components and a spacer sheet 27 through which the specific component is easier to pass than through the filter sheet 26. The filter sheet 26 has filter through-holes 39 disposed at intervals. The filter sheet 26 and the spacer sheet 27 are spirally wound in an overlapped state. The filter device 20 has seals 31 sealing both end portions in the longitudinal direction of a wound body 25 formed by the filter sheet 26 and the spacer sheet 27 which are spirally wound in a fluid-tight manner. The outer peripheral surface of the wound body 25 is formed by the filter sheet 26.

  • Patent number: 9079008
    Abstract: A medical tube clamp wherein first and second plate parts including, on opposing surfaces, compressive protrusions for closing a medical tube are provided with a pair of side walls on both sides projecting from one toward an other of the plate parts, and are also provided with a central guide protrusion projecting from the other toward the one of the plate parts. Both sides of a tip portion of the central guide protrusion make sloping guide surfaces projecting toward a center. When the plate parts are displaced relative to each other so as to become closer, lateral displacement of them is corrected by a slide of the pair of side walls and the sloping guide surfaces, and the central guide protrusion is inserted between the pair of side walls.

  • Patent number: 6927944
    Abstract: A tilt stand having a mounting surface and holes for mounting a drum are formed by one normal-feed press working. The holes for mounting the drum are formed by vertical punching. The respective holes are rectangular holes, each of which has one side equal to the diameter of a shaft or the diameter of a screw in the direction of Y. The hole into which the shaft is inserted has the other side in the direction of X which is determined such that the side is in contact with the shaft inserted into the hole in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface at the obverse surface and the reverse surface of the mounting surface. The drum has a structure in which the shaft projects from the bottom and is positioned with respect to the mounting surface by inserting the shaft into the mounting hole. Three screw holes are formed near the shaft of the drum. The mounting angle of the drum with respect to the mounting surface is determined by the use of the mounting holes corresponding to these screw holes.

  • Patent number: 5819122
    Abstract: When CPU 2 is in the standby state, switch S4 is turned OFF such that switch S1 is not connected to condenser C1 and the signals from switch S1 are pulled up by means of resistor R2. When CPU 2 becomes activated through the detection of a change in the state of switch S1, switches S3, S4 and S5 are turned ON to connect condenser C1 and resistor R1 to switch S1 and to connect resistor R3 to switch S2. Through this construction, the chattering in switches S1 and S2 may be eliminated, and CPU 2, which is in a standby state, may be activated based on signals from switch S1.

  • Patent number: 5570596
    Abstract: A washing machine includes a dehydrating tub whose interior is divided by rotational angle detecting elements into a plurality of circumferential areas. A period of time required for each area to pass a water pouring location is cumulated by a timer function of a microcomputer in a rinse-with-dehydration operation in which the dehydrating tub is rotated with water being supplied to the tub, A quantity of water poured into or contained in laundry in each area is determined on the basis of a cumulated value so that insufficiency in the quantity of poured water due to rotational unevenness of the dehydrating tub is solved.
