Patent number: 7143870Abstract: A door panel comprises a surface board 11 facing a hoistway, a back board 12 facing a hoistway, and a reinforcing member 13 for reinforcing the surface board 11 and the back board 12 . The back board is connected to the surface board or the reinforcing member by a connecting member 15 which is capable of losing the force of constraint against the surface board or the reinforcing member on high temperature conditions during a fire. This connecting member 15 prevents the door panel of the elevator hall door from being deformed during a building fire, and prevents the elevator hall door from falling, thus preventing smoke and flame from entering the hoistway.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2005Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masato Watabe, Hisato Ito

Patent number: 6250536Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electrode wire for an electrical discharge machining apparatus, which is composed of a core wire formed of Cu or Cu-alloy and a covering layer formed of brass. A brass tape is longitudinally applied around a core wire to provide a pipe, a seam formed by butting longitudinal edges of the brass tape is continuously welded to provide a composite wire, area-reduction process of reduction rate less than 65% is applied to the brass pipe by means of a squeezing die, a heat treatment at a temperature higher a recrystallization one of brass is applied to the composite pipe, and thereafter the composite wire is processed to be reduced in area through plural reducing dies step by step.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 1999Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Hitachi Cable Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Shimojima, Seigi Aoyama, Hideo Kawano, Koichi Tamura, Takahiro Sato, Takamitsu Kimura, Masato Watabe
