  • Patent number: 9174856
    Abstract: By storing a liquid to be treated in a treatment tank main body 10 having a bottom portion 10g that narrows downward, with particles of materials to be treated dispersed therein, taking out the liquid to be treated from a position lower than the liquid level of the treatment tank main body 10, and returning the liquid to the bottom portion 10g of the treatment tank main body 10, thereby circulating the liquid to be treated while forming a vortex flow within the treatment tank main body 10, and at the same time supplying air bubbles from the lower part of the treatment main unit 10, a first component contained in froths is separated from a second component, which is less susceptible to floatation, contained in the liquid to be treated.

  • Patent number: 8888650
    Abstract: A vehicle drive apparatus includes a motor generator, a speed reduction mechanism connected to a rotor shaft of the motor generator, an output shaft connected to the speed reduction mechanism, an intermediate wall separating the motor generator from the speed reduction mechanism, and a bearing that is fixed to the intermediate wall and supports the rotor shaft. The motor generator, intermediate wall, speed reduction mechanism, and output shaft are disposed in this order, and a ring gear of the speed reduction mechanism is fixed. The ring gear is fixed to the intermediate wall via a ring gear flange that is positioned relative and fixed to the intermediate wall by a centering mechanism and a locking mechanism. The centering mechanism is formed by fitting a boss of the ring gear flange and the intermediate wall. The locking mechanism is disposed on an outer peripheral side relative to the centering mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20090229574
    Abstract: A fuel injection device includes an air-fuel mixture injector, a fuel supplier, a fuel injection device holder, an insert piece, a fuel introducer and an air introducer. The fuel injection device holder has an air-fuel mixture chamber that is provided in the inside of the fuel injection device holder and produces an air-fuel mixture by mixing supplied fuel and air, and includes a mixer provided at its one end and a connector provided at its other end. The fuel injection device holder includes an air supply passage that introduces air introduced from the air introducer into the air-fuel mixture chamber while extending between the air-fuel mixture chamber and the connector. The fuel supplier and the air-fuel mixture injector are coaxially integrated through the fuel injection device holder.

  • Patent number: 5939811
    Abstract: An electromagnetic device includes a solenoid stator comprised of a plurality of magnetic plates stacked spirally and regulated to prevent displacement. The stator is constructed by spirally disposing around its central axis a plurality of magnetic plates each having a uniform thickness and being bent in a curved shape. A support body of the device is so assembled to the stator as to abut its bottom face and a through hole. The support body has a disk part having an outer diameter generally corresponding to that of the stator and a cylindrical part extending upwardly from the central part of the disk part. The top end part of the cylindrical part is fixedly joined to the stator by laser welding. A push rod coupled with an armature is disposed slidably in a hole of the support body. The bottom face of a cap housing abuts the peripheral part of the top face of the stator to press the peripheral part from the upperside.
