Abstract: A remote controller includes a first balloon operation section, a second balloon operation section, a first balloon state display section, and a second balloon state display section. Each of the first and second balloon operation sections performs a pressing operation to swell or contract a balloon. Each of the first and second balloon state display sections has a swollen-state display portion and a contracted-state display portion. The swollen-state display portion is disposed along an outer circumference of each of the first and second balloon operation sections, such that the swollen-state display portion and each of the first and second balloon operation sections are coaxial with each other. The contracted-state display portion is disposed inside each of the first and second balloon operation sections, such that the contracted-state display portion and each of the first and second balloon operation sections are coaxial with each other.

The pump unit includes an upper base on which the pump is placed, and a lower base which contacts to the fuel tank. The upper base and the lower base are coupled through attachments whereby an engagement portion of the upper base is fitted into a recessed portion formed on the side of the lower base. The recessed portion has a pair of planes opposing to each other and oriented toward a bottom surface of the lower base from a predetermined position.

Abstract: A fuel supply device has a cover member which is attached to an opening portion of a fuel tank and a pump unit comprising a pump. The cover member and pump unit are connected via a connecting portion where the pump unit is rotatably connected to the connecting portion. Further, the fuel supply device includes a fuel residual amount detection device which is attached to the pump unit and configured to detect the residual amount of fuel. The fuel residual amount detection device includes a gauge main body to which electric wirings are connected, an arm portion which is movably mounted relative to the gauge main body and a float which is attached to a leading end of the arm portion. The float is positioned above a lower terminal end of the base portion when the cover portion is held and lifted while the pump unit rotates with respect to the connecting portion.

Abstract: A fuel supply device includes a cover member which is attached to an opening of a fuel tank, a pump unit comprising a pump, and a connecting portion for connecting the cover member and the pump unit. The pump unit is connected to the connecting portion so as to be relatively movable to the cover member. When the fuel supply device is attached to the fuel tank, an engagement portion provided at a lower portion of the pump unit abuts the connecting portion such that via the engagement portion the connecting portion presses the pump unit against the fuel tank.

Abstract: A fuel supply device includes a fuel pump for delivering fuel within the fuel tank to the outside and a sub-tank having a temporary storage region capable of temporarily storing the fuel. The sub-tank includes an inflow opening to allow the fuel to flow into the sub-tank under its own weight. The temporary storage region includes a top part positioned above the inflow opening.

Abstract: A driving apparatus is disclosed which has a movable part, a measuring device measuring a position of the movable part, two actuators respectively generating two thrusts which have a common axis of action thereof with respect to the movable part, and a controller that controls the position by the two actuators based on output of the measuring device. The controller obtains information of at least one of a thrust constant of one of the two actuators, a thrust constant of the other of the actuators, and rigidity of a member which supports the movable part with respect to the axis of action, based on a relationship between disturbance force estimated from thrust commands for the two actuators and an output of the measuring device in a case where the one actuator generates a thrust and the other actuator controls the position, and a thrust command for the one actuator.

Abstract: In an image capturing apparatus, in a case where a change is made from a first magnification ratio into a second magnification ratio which is greater than the first magnification ratio in a state in which a live view is displayed at the first magnification ratio and a first AF mode is set, the live view image is enlarged and displayed at the second magnification ratio, and the AF mode is set to a second AF mode. In a case where a change to the first magnification ratio is made after the second magnification ratio is set, the first AF mode is set, and a focus adjustment position is set based on a focus adjustment position which is set in the second AF mode.

Abstract: A fuel filter device includes a bag-shaped filter member filtering fuel that is drawn into a fuel pump, an inner frame member retaining the filter member in an expanded state, and a mounting member connected to the inner frame member and serving to communicate an internal space of the filter member with an outside. A valve chamber is defined by the inner frame member and the mounting member, and a check valve serving to prevent backflow of fuel is disposed in the valve chamber. The check valve includes a flat-plate shaped valve body having elasticity. The check valve opens against its weight when the fuel pump is operated, and the check valve closes due to its weight when the operation of the fuel pump is stopped.

Abstract: A fuel supply device includes a cover member attached to an opening of a fuel tank, a pump unit including a pump, and a connecting portion which connects the cover member and the pump unit. The pump unit is connected so as to be relatively movable with respect to the connecting portion when a connecting shaft which is formed as part of one of the connecting portion or the pump unit, is inserted into the connecting hole formed as part of the other of the two. The connecting hole has an elongated hole portion that allows the connecting shaft to move in the upward and downward directions, and allows the pump unit to be relatively movable with respect to the connecting portion. The pump unit includes an engagement portion abutting a lower terminal end of the connecting portion when the fuel supply device is attached to the fuel tank.

Abstract: A fuel supply device has a cover member which is attached to an opening of a fuel tank, a pump unit provided with a pump, and a connecting portion for connecting the cover member and the pump unit. The fuel supply device has a connecting shaft which is formed on either one of the connecting portion or the pump unit, and a connecting hole which is formed on the other. The fuel supply device has a guide mechanism which can guide the pump unit. The guide mechanism includes a first guide portion formed at the connecting portion and a second guide portion formed at the pump unit. One of the first guide portion or the second guide portion includes a protruding portion which protrudes in a position spaced apart from the connecting shaft. The other guide portion is formed to restrict a movable range of the protruding portion.

Abstract: A fuel supply device includes a cover, a base including a base main body, and a connecting portion configured to connect the cover and the base. The base main body and the connecting portion are connected by a connecting shaft comprising a shaft portion and a bulge portion, a connecting hole formed so as to continuously extend an engagement region and an insertion region, and a stopper piece capable of limiting a movable range of the shaft portion located within the engagement region towards the insertion region. A guide mechanism is provided for guiding the connecting shaft to move so that at least one part of the stopper piece is positioned between the bulge portion and the base portion when a predetermined amount of force is applied to the connecting shaft.

Abstract: A fuel supply device includes a pump unit with a fuel pump that has a rotary body rotating about a rotary shaft and a load receiving portion, configured to receive the load of the pump unit. A connecting portion is provided for connecting the pump unit to the load receiving portion such that the pump unit is suspended by the load receiving portion. The connecting portion is disposed so as to extend across a virtual plane which is perpendicular to the rotary shaft for the rotary body of the fuel pump and passes through the center of gravity of the pump unit.
