  • Publication number: 20240286246
    Abstract: A technique is disclosed that can allow an elastic membrane to be inflated into a desired shape when a workpiece is released from a polishing head, or when the workpiece is held on the polishing head, thereby avoiding excessive stress on the workpiece. The method includes supplying a gas into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber at a first flow rate and a second flow rate regulated by a first flow-rate control valve and a second flow-rate control valve to inflate an elastic membrane of a polishing head when a polished workpiece is released from the polishing head, or when a workpiece to be polished is held on the polishing head. The first pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber are formed by the elastic membrane.

  • Patent number: 11833929
    Abstract: A seat back pad 70 has a groove 73 for tucking a skin material therein, formed at borders between a central portion 71 and side portions 72. A hole (slot hole 74) is formed in a bottom of the groove 73 along the groove 73. A tuck-in wire 76 for tucking the skin material in includes a plurality of tuck-in portions 76A provided along the groove 73, and a connecting portion (detour portion 76B) detouring around the hole and connecting the tuck-in portions 76A. With this configuration, when an upper body of an occupant P subsides into a seat back S2 in a rear-end collision of a vehicle, the central portion 71, defined by the groove 73 as a border, is easily and sufficiently moved rearward relative to the left and right side portions 72. Furthermore, the tuck-in wire 76 is not exposed through the hole, and thus adhesion between the seat back pad 70 and the tuck-in wire 76 can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11471842
    Abstract: A liquid-mixing apparatus used in a liquid-mixing method comprises a plurality of supply valves provided to a cylinder. The supply valves make it possible to individually supply a plurality of types of liquids into a retention chamber. Each of the supply valves is configured so as to be switchable between an open state, in which the interior of a supply channel via which a liquid is supplied and the interior of the retention chamber intercommunicate, and a closed state, in which communication between the supply channel and the retention chamber is blocked. A piston moves in the direction in which the volume of the retention chamber increases while at least one of the supply valves is in the open state, whereby a liquid is drawn into the storage chamber.
