Patent number: 11383427Abstract: Both diameter expansion and contraction control and fitting stabilization are achieved at the same time in a pipe end release-type pipe-forming apparatus having a non-inner periphery restriction structure. A driving part (10) provided in an apparatus frame (30) of a pipe-forming apparatus (3N) presses an unformed following strip portion (92) of the strip member (90). A reverse side guide portion (83) is engaged with a pipe end portion (91e) of a preceding spiral pipe portion (91) from a reverse side. A face side guide portion (82) is engaged with the pipe end portion (91e) from a face side. The face side guide portion (82) is shifted to the propulsion rear side beyond the reverse side guide portion (83). The following strip portion (92) is extruded from the driving part (10) toward an inter-guide clearance (84) between the reverse side guide portion (83) and the face side guide portion (82).Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2021Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Sugahara, Tatsurou Baba, Naoya Tsuda, Masahiro Yamasaki

Patent number: 11148352Abstract: A pipe-forming apparatus with which a spiral pipe can be formed using a simple configuration without an inner periphery restriction body. A driving part (10) of a pipe-forming apparatus (3) presses a following strip portion (92) toward a pipe end portion (91e) of a preceding spiral pipe portion (91) obliquely with respect to a machine-height direction HD. A pipe end guide is constrained in a machine-width direction WD with respect to the pipe end portion, and slidably engaged in a propelling longitudinal direction LD. A pressing force for the following strip portion provides a fitting force between the following strip portion and the pipe end portion, and a propelling force for forward propulsion. A pipe is formed in a state where a part other than a partial part at which the pipe-forming apparatus is provided in a circumferential direction of the pipe end portion is released from the pipe-forming apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Sugahara, Tatsurou Baba, Naoya Tsuda, Masahiro Yamasaki

Patent number: 10920918Abstract: A spiral pipe (9) is formed by joining edges of adjacent turns of a strip member (90) while helically winding the strip member using a pipe-making apparatus. A propulsive reaction force for moving in a winding direction of the strip member is imparted to a following strip portion (92) or a preceding spiral pipe portion (91) of the strip member by a propulsive reaction force imparting portion of the pipe-making apparatus. The following strip portion follows a preceding spiral pipe portion that has already been made into a pipe. A resisting force in a direction opposite to the propulsive reaction force is imparted to the strip member along the winding direction by a friction between a resisting force imparting portion and the strip member generated while the strip member is moved forward. In this arrangement, a diameter limiting frame can be omitted, and thereby, the pipe-making apparatus can be downsized.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2016Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Sugahara, Tatsurou Baba, Yoshirou Sugiyama, Masahiro Yamasaki, Junichi Nagatsuka

Patent number: 8126064Abstract: The identification information processing unit receives identification information identifying the reception device from a reception device, and generates decoded identification information indicating the decoded value of the received identification information. The parameter value selection unit selects the first parameter value when the decoded identification information includes an information representing a television, selects a second parameter value that is less than the first parameter value when the decoded identification information includes an information representing an audio device, and generates a selected parameter value. The frequency divider frequency divides the audio clock using the selected parameter value, and generates a frequency division signal. The counter counts one period of the frequency division signal using the pixel clock and generates the cycle time stamp. The transmission device then sends the selected parameter value and cycle time stamp to the reception device.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2008Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masahiro Yamasaki, Shinetsu Katou, Sadayoshi Kanazawa
