Masako Hagiya has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9562483
    Abstract: In an engine intake control apparatus, a cover is made of synthetic resin, a motor support plate is made of metal, a positioning boss is integrally formed on the cover, a first positioning hole arranged on a motor support plate is fitted on an outer peripheral surface of the positioning boss, and the positioning boss is positioned and fitted with a throttle valve body each other. With such an engine intake control apparatus, it is possible to perform with high accuracy the mutual positioning between the three components, i.e. the motor support plate, the cover and the throttle valve body, and it is possible to effectively improve the opening and closing accuracy for the opening and closing of the throttle valve by the motor.

  • Patent number: 7694662
    Abstract: The invention aims to prevent the dust passing through a gap provided for sliding movement of bypass valve from being attached to a screw mechanism, and thus to guarantee smooth motion of the screw mechanism. Provided is a bypass-intake-flow control apparatus including a throttle body in which a bypass and a valve hole that is open into the course of the bypass are formed. A bypass valve to open and close the bypass is slidably but not rotatably fitted into the valve hole. An actuator is attached to the throttle body with an output shaft arranged coaxially with the bypass valve. The screw mechanism links the output shaft and the bypass valve. A bottomed hollow portion is formed in the bypass valve with an opening facing the actuator. A dust cover that surrounds the screw mechanism in the hollow portion is attached to the throttle body.
