  • Patent number: 10533624
    Abstract: A stopper mechanism includes a second cylinder provided at an end portion in an inner cylinder, and a second piston configured to move along with movement of a piston rod to be capable of being fit-inserted through the second cylinder. The second piston includes a stopper coupled to the piston rod, a castle integrated with the stopper by plastic flow to form a ring groove on an outer periphery of the second piston between the castle and the stopper, and a piston ring fixed into a ring groove formed by the stopper and the castle so that the piston ring is displaceable in the ring groove in an axial direction and is retained in the ring groove, and has an annular shape with both ends in a circumferential direction which are formed by partially cutting the piston ring.

  • Patent number: 5656245
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a catalytic converter for cleaning exhaust gas generated from automobiles or the like and more particularly to a structure for securing a catalyst carrier to a casing.In the converter, a casing for embracing, supporting and securing the catalyst carrier is provided with at least one end cover at the one end of the casing in the longitudinal direction thereof, the catalyst carrier is secured to the one end cover, but not secured to the remainder of the casing. The catalyst carrier may be secured to the end cover by sandwiching the flange portion of the catalyst carrier between the vertical step portion of the end cover and a pushing ring via buffering members. Alternatively, the catalyst carrier may be secured to the end cover by pushing a taper bushing having a wedge-shaped cross section into the space between the concave recessed portion provided on the surface of the catalyst carrier and the short pipe portion of the end cover.
