  • Patent number: 10245892
    Abstract: An object is to improve noise performance of a tire while enhancing movement performance thereof. At least one of the land portions (20) includes an outer wall surface (30) positioned on a vehicle outer side, an inner wall surface (31) positioned on a vehicle inner side, a tread surface (32) on an outer side in a tire radial direction, an outer edge (33) of the tread surface (32) in contact with the outer wall surface (30), and an inner edge (34) of the tread surface (32) in contact with the inner wall surface (31). The tread surface (32) is formed in a convex shape which is smoothly curved between the outer edge (33) and the inner edge (34) and which has a top portion (43) most protruded outward in the tire radial direction, in a cross section of the land portion (20) in a tire width direction.

  • Patent number: 9891378
    Abstract: A multicore fiber includes a plurality of unit multicore fibers each including: a plurality of core portions; and a clad portion which is formed in an outer circumference of the core portions and has a refractive index lower than a maximum refractive index of the core portions. The plurality of the core portions have substantially same refractive index profile and different group delays at same wavelength in same propagation mode. The core portions of the multicore fiber are configured so that the core portions of the plurality of the unit multicore fibers are connected in cascade, a maximum value of differential group delays between the core portions of the multicore fiber is smaller than a reduced value of a maximum value of differential group delays between the core portions of each unit multicore fiber as a value in terms of a length of the multicore fiber.

  • Publication number: 20020052565
    Abstract: A multi-function portable health and beauty device which can be easily carried and which includes treatment members used to enlarge the area of the device which makes contact with the areas of the body to be treated to promote circulation of the blood and burning of fat. The device includes a base which has a central recessed part into which the areas to be treated can be placed; a drive mechanism mounted on the base; and rotating treatment members which are installed on the base so that they are generally parallel to the drive mechanism and so that they interlock with the drive mechanism and rotate. Expansion and contraction members are also provided at both sides of the recessed part of the base and are supplied with air using an air supply source. A vibration mechanism is also provided to vibrate the inside of the recessed part of the base or the rotating treatment members.

  • Patent number: 5938628
    Abstract: A suit-type cosmetic air massage device for providing air pressuring massage upon a human whole body. To provide air pressuring massage, suit-shaped parts are made to cover a human whole body, and can be separated into an upper suit-shaped part and a lower suit-shaped part. And plural air bags are symmetrically installed within the left and right side from the position corresponding to the hand region to the position corresponding to the shoulder regions of the upper suit-shaped part, and from the position corresponding to the feet parts to the waist part of the lower suit-shaped part. These air bags are divided into the first, second, third and fourth group, and each air bag in each group can be supplied with air simultaneously or independently in order from connecting with the intake/exhaust instrument by an intaking/exhausting hose.

  • Patent number: 5792082
    Abstract: A chair-type air massage device which is capable of providing air massage to a user's whole body in a reclined position. The air massage device includes a backrest pivotally joined with a seat. Armrests are secured to both sides of the seat. A footrest is joined to the front end of the seat and can be moved between a projected position and a retracted position. Air bags for a neck massage, air bags for a back massage and air bags for a waist massage are disposed on the backrest. Further, air bags for a buttocks massage are disposed on the seat. Air bags for a thigh massage are positioned between armrests on the seat. Air massage can be provided to a user's whole body in a reclined position by supplying and exhausting compressed air to each of the air bags to thereby expand and contract each of the air bags.

  • Patent number: 5762618
    Abstract: A chair-type air massage device which is capable of providing air massage to a user's legs in comfortable positions such as a reclined position or a sitting position. The air massage device includes a backrest pivotally joined with a seat. A footrest is joined to the front end of the seat and can be moved between a forwardly-projecting or extended position and a retracted position. A number of air bags for providing a leg massage are disposed on the footrest. When the footrest is in the extended position, a user's legs may be oriented approximately horizontally and compressed air may be supplied and exhausted to and from the air bags so as to cause the air bags to expand and contract and thus massage the user's legs in a reclined position.

  • Patent number: 5520435
    Abstract: A reclining legless chair comprising an interlocking headrest constructed from a framework composed of a seat frame, back materials, and a headrest frame, which allows users to automatically set the inclining angle of the headrest which is interlocked to the angle between the seat and the back of the chair wherein the latter angle can be set in one of several steps at will by a user. The framework is made from a U-shaped seat frame, back materials and a headrest frame, in which both opening ends of the seat frame are connected to the straight rods of the back materials through a ratchet and the other ends of the rods are connected to both ends of a U-shaped headrest frame through interlocking mechanisms. The framework is suitably covered with elastic materials, is finished by covering the elastic materials with external cloth and permits the headrest frame to move interlockingly with the inclining angle of the back materials against the seat frame.
