Abstract: A technique for displaying a “sense of length” in each case where users having different heights and/or body shapes wear clothing of various designs and/or sizes is presented. An image creation apparatus includes a setting unit configured to set a clothing image data having size information of clothing that is superimposed on a human body image data having height information and body shape information of a human body; a modifying unit configured to modify the human body image data or the clothing image data based on a result of comparing height information or body shape information of a user with the height information or body shape information of the human body image data; and a creating unit configured to superimpose the clothing image data on the human body image data, on an object-by-object basis, based on a reference position dependent on type information of the clothing image data, and create a virtual fitting image data.

Abstract: The wrist assembly of an industrial robot comprises a first wrist portion (21) provided on the free end of the robot arm (20) and having a pair of projections (22, 23) in parallel with each other on the fore-end thereof. A second wrist portion (24) is provided between the projections of the first wrist portion and supported on both of the projections so as to be rotatable about a first axis (.beta.) intersecting a longitudinal axis of the robot arm at a right angle. A third wrist portion (25) is supported on the second wrist portion so as to be rotatable about a second axis (.alpha.) intersecting the first axis at a right angle, and constructed to allow work attachments to be attached to the front end thereof. A first motor (45) and a second motor (55) are used for driving the second wrist portion and the third wrist portion.

Abstract: An apparatus for guiding a cable of an industrial robot having a support casing and a swivel casing axially supported by a swivel shaft bearing includes a cable guide. The guide has an end of an upper arm axially supported on a swivel axis inside the swivel casing, and an end of a lower arm axially supported on the swivel axis inside the support casing. A back column formed between the upper and lower arms guide passes through first and second arcuate cut-out portions provided in the swivel casing and support casing. A cable is passed from the support casing into the swivel casing along the cable guide back column, and moves proportionately to angular movement of the swivel casing.

Abstract: A vertical milti-articulated robot comprises a base (11) secured to a plane (10) of installation. The base (11) is provided with a turning body (12) which is rotatable relative to a reference position of the base about a first axis (.theta.) perpendicular to the plane of installation within an angular range of nearly 90 degrees to the right and to the left, respectively. The turning body (12) is rotated by a body drive motor (14) about the first axis. An upper arm (16) having a base end and a tip is coupled at the base end thereof to the turning body (12) so as to be rotatable relative to the turning body about a second horizontal axis (W) from a nearly vertical attitude toward the front of the turning body. A forearm (19) having at the front end thereof a wrist assembly (20) is coupled to the tip of the upper arm so as to be rotatable relative to the upper arm about a third axis (U) which is parallel to the second axis.

Abstract: An industrial robot having a dust-proof structure is equipped with at least one dust cover having an opening at one end thereof and a linearly movable unit extending through the opening of the dust cover and movable back and forth in the longitudinal direction thereof. Suction is exerted by a suction unit inside the dust cover so that air is flows from outside the dust cover into the same through the opening. A ring member is disposed at the opening of the dust cover in such a manner as to encompass the outer periphery of the linearly moving unit through a gap. At least one annular groove for reserving air is disposed on the inner peripheral surface of the ring member so as to encompass the outer periphery of the linearly moving unit.
