  • Patent number: 10767359
    Abstract: A flush toilet enabling easy cleaning besides capable of preventing dirty water from flowing out is provided. In the flush toilet, a toilet seat is placed on a rim of a toilet body with the toilet seat free to open and close on a pivot axis on a side of a rear end thereof. A projection rib for preventing dirty water from flowing out is formed on a front upper face of the rim so that it protrudes from an outer periphery of the rim. The projection rib is provided so that it is outside a front periphery of the toilet seat when the toilet seat is in closing state.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6988563
    Abstract: A hammer drill is equipped with a connector shaft, which is rotationally driven by a motor, a spindle that transmits the rotation through a connector shaft, and a percussive impact impact mechanism that applies a percussive force in the axial direction to a drill bit held by the spindle through performing a reciprocating motion, in the axial direction, relative to a spindle that receives the rotation of the connector shaft through a motion converter mechanism. The hammer drill is provided with a percussive force converter from the percussive impact impact mechanism by changing the speed reduction ratio between the motor and the connector shaft. This makes it possible to adjust the percussive force according to the drill bit used.
