Patent number: 10393140Abstract: The fluid pump according to the present invention has water storage means that is formed so as to communicate with a shaft hole in a pump case and stores fluid leaking from a mechanical seal. An electromagnetic clutch establishes or blocks the transmission of power to a drive shaft by switching between supply and non-supply of electricity to an excitation coil. The water storage means has a weep chamber that communicates with the shaft hole between the mechanical seal and a bearing and is opened to an end portion in the axial direction. An attachment member for attaching a core of the electromagnetic clutch to the pump case seals the opening of the weep chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: TBK CO., LTD.Inventor: Makoto Osawa

Patent number: 8830025Abstract: A circuit breaker can minimize a change in a structure of a case when a material forming a stud is changed. A stud includes a base portion provided in the case and a protruding portion protruding from the case. A cross-sectional area of the protruding portion is more than that of the base portion; thereby a thermal conductivity of the protruding portion increases and the thermal conductivity from the protruding portion to an external conductor connected to the stud increases. In addition, since a surface area of the protruding portion increases, an amount of heat dissipated from the protruding portion increases. In the invention, since dimensions of the base portion inserted into a stud insertion hole of the case are not changed, it is not necessary to change the dimensions of the insertion hole of the case.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2010Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Fuji Electronic Fa Components & Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaaki Nakano, Kentaro Toyama, Makoto Osawa
