  • Patent number: 11912449
    Abstract: To provide an article gripping system that reduces the installation area of the apparatus and further shortens the amount of time from when it grips to when it feeds articles. An article gripping system (110) switches between a first positional relationship in which a container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by a first gripping unit (15A) but does not obstruct discharge of articles by a second gripping unit (15B) and a second positional relationship in which the container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by the second gripping unit (15B) but does not obstruct discharge of articles gripped by the first gripping unit (15A), so the gripping units do not move while they are holding the articles, and the articles can be prevented from falling out of the gripping units (15).

  • Publication number: 20230302979
    Abstract: A headrest includes a first configuration section comprising a hard urethane and formed with an indentation in a front face, the indentation enabling entry of a supported portion, and the supported portion being a location corresponding to an occipital bone of the head of the seated occupant; and a second configuration section comprising a soft urethane having a lower rigidity than the hard urethane, the second configuration section being provided at the indentation so as to be deformed by the supported portion. Part of the first configuration section, which is a bottom face of the indentation, is configured by a left-right pair of head support faces that support the supported portion and that are connected together at a connection location having a straight line shape. An angle formed between cross-sections of the left and right head support faces when sectioned along a plane perpendicular to the connection location is a first angle that is from 37.2° to 143°.
