  • Patent number: 10496009
    Abstract: A toner container includes a container body, an opening, a cover, a toner discharge port, a shutter, a cylindrical structure, protrusions, and an identifier. The shutter is attached to the cover and includes a main shutter covering the toner discharge port. The main shutter moves between a closed position to close the toner discharge port and an open position to open the toner discharge port. The protrusions are on both sides of the cover and protrude in a direction orthogonal to a toner container mounting direction. The identifier is on the cover to indicate a toner color. The cylindrical structure's leading end is downstream of leading ends of the protrusions in the mounting direction. The main shutter's leading end is downstream of the protrusions' leading ends in the mounting direction when the main shutter is in the closed position. The protrusions are downstream of the identifier in the mounting direction.

  • Patent number: 10480714
    Abstract: A low temperature liquid tank includes: a storage tank having a bottom portion obtained by joining a plurality of bottom plates; and a support portion supporting the bottom portion. The support portion includes: an outer support portion supporting a margin of the storage tank; and an inner support portion disposed inside the outer support portion and having a heat insulation in which creep occurs when a load is applied. An initial height of an upper surface of the inner support portion is set so that, during a service life of the low temperature liquid tank, maximum bending stress applied to the bottom plates due to a difference between a height of the upper surface of the inner support portion and a height of an upper surface of the outer support portion remains equal to or smaller than an allowable bending stress of the bottom plates.

  • Patent number: 10369616
    Abstract: In a case of a “mark left” type, a slit is formed on a line side (slit side) of a joint portion. The slit is formed, for example, with a scroll saw. By the formation of the slit, a length of the joint portion in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of a single ring is set to approximately 0.7 mm. In a case of a “mark removed” type, a slit and a slit are formed respectively on the line side (slit side) and a side opposite thereto of the joint portion. Those slits are formed, for example, with the scroll saw. By the formation of those slits, the length of the joint portion in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the single ring is set to approximately 0.8 mm.

  • Publication number: 20190096561
    Abstract: In a stepwise structure formed in a multilayer coil component, a difference occurs in a shrinkage amount between a maximum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is large and a minimum film thickness portion in which the number of layers is small due to portions different in the number of layers of coil parts (that is, upper coil part, lower coil part, and connecting part) adjacent to each other like the maximum film thickness portion and the minimum film thickness portion, readily causing a crack by an inner stress due to the difference in the shrinkage amount. In a multilayer coil component according to the present disclosure, a stress relaxation part overlapping with a maximum film thickness portion whose shrinkage amount is large is provided to relax inner stress in a stepwise structure, resulting in prevention of a crack.
