Publication number: 20090039132Abstract: A driving tool is provided with a contact arm 11 which can be moved in a vertical direction along an eject path 6 of a nose part 4 disposed in a lower portion of a tool body 2. When driving a nail, the contact arm 11 is moved upward with respect to the nose part 4 to thereby activate an operation of a trigger 10 which is used to operate a starting trigger valve 12. The contact arm 11 is held between two upper and lower springs 20 and 21 which are respectively disposed in a vicinity of the nose part 4. The contact arm 11 is urged by the upper spring 23 so that a lower end of the contact arm projects downwardly beyond a lower end of the nose part 4.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2006Publication date: February 12, 2009Inventor: Kouji Kubo

Patent number: 6655450Abstract: A forced oscillatory flow type heat pipe of which a ratio (motion coefficient) of the heat transport capacity to the oscillating energy is maintained within an appropriate range is provided. A heat pipe body (1) has a closed loop flow path (2). Operation of the vibrator (3), which is provided at a connecting portion (2a) between the ends of the flow path (2), causes an oscillatory flow of the charged liquid sealed in the flow path (2). The phases of the oscillatory flows of the charged liquid in the adjacent tube portions of the flow path are inverted. From a viewpoint that the dimensionless effective thermal diffusivity kef* of the COSMOS type heat pipe has a larger range in the modified Womersley number &agr; than that of the dream type heat pipe, the modified Womersley number &agr; is 0.4 to 7.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: TS Heatronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigefumi Nishio, Hisashi Tanaka, Kouji Kubo
