  • Patent number: 11806906
    Abstract: In a parting locking device for an injection molding mold assembly, a first engagement element and a first spring are mounted in the base holder. With a locking plate inserted in a plate insertion hole, the first engagement element moves to a locking position where the base holder and a locking member are coupled together. When a locking bar is pulled out of a bar insertion hole, the first engagement element is pushed and moved to an unlocking position where the base holder and the locking member are uncoupled from each other.

  • Publication number: 20180245763
    Abstract: A lighting apparatus includes a light source unit and a light guide unit. The light source unit includes a light source that emits light. The light guide unit includes a reflective surface that changes a traveling direction of the light to produce reflected light, and guides the light emitted from the light source unit to make the light reach the reflective surface. A plurality of the reflective surfaces-is provided. The light source unit selects one of the plurality of reflective surfaces and emits the light to the selected reflective surface. Thus it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of places where light sources are disposed and to change light-emitting regions on the light guide unit.

  • Publication number: 20030083549
    Abstract: A light source device 20 of an endoscope is provided with a light guide connector 24 for inserting a light guide plug 15. A ball lens 30 (light intensity distribution transforming element) is received in an end portion on a condenser lens 23 side of the light guide connector 24. The ball lens 30 transforms the intensity distribution of a converging flux of light coming from the condenser lens 23 such that the intensity distribution is lowered at the central area and raised at the peripheral area. A ball lens 31 (light arresting element) is received in an end portion of the light guide plug 15. The ball lens 31 arrests the light coming from the ball lens 30 and makes incidence of such arrested light to an incident end face of the light guide 16. Owing to this feature, the inserting operation of the light guide plug can be performed with ease and without a need of strict accuracy.
