Abstract: A tire shaping drum has a central axle, a drum part which is capable of expansion and contraction, and a expanding/contracting means for changing the drum part. In the drum part, first segments having first end faces at both ends in the circumferential direction, and second segments having second end faces at both ends in the circumferential direction, are alternately seriated. There is provided with a backlash prevention means for preventing backlash between the contacting first end faces and second end faces when the drum part is in a diameter expanded state. Consequently, the first end faces and the second end faces closely contact with each other, and changes in the circularity of the drum part and the outer diameter of the drum part can be prevented.

Abstract: To provide a tire shaping drum in which a tire member can be improved in quality by preventing backlash between two adjacent segments, and tire manufacturing productivity can be improved by decreasing a cause of facility stopping. The tire shaping drum (1) has a central axle (2), a drum part (3) which is capable of expansion and contraction, and a expanding/contracting means 4 for changing the drum part (3). In the drum part (3), first segments (20) having first end faces (22) at both ends in the circumferential direction, and second segments (21) having second end faces (24) at both ends in the circumferential direction, are alternately seriated. There is provided with a backlash prevention means for preventing backlash between the contacting first end faces (22) and second end faces (24) when the drum part (3) is in a diameter expanded state Ye.

Abstract: A choke coil has small difference of wire wound resistances between coils to obtain sufficient unbalance attenuation amount, superior in workability in winding and reduced leakage inductance and line capacity. The choke coil includes first and second coils divided into first and second segments wound on a single spool disposing intermediate insulations layers between respectively adjacent coil segments. The coil segments of the first and second coils are wound alternately. The first coil segment of the first coil and the second coil segment of the second coil being wound in a first winding number and the second coil segment of the second coil and the first coil segment of the second coil being wound in a second winding number. The second winding number being greater than the first winding number for reducing difference of winding resistance between the first and second coils less than or equal to 4%.

Abstract: A noise filter for an electric wire of star-connected three-phase four-wire system, in which a neutral conductor has a sectional area which is larger than a sectional area of each of voltage conductors. Three voltage conductors are wound on a magnetic core that constitutes a closed magnetic path. The neutral conductor is coupled to the three voltage conductors via three respective capacitors.
