  • Patent number: 10274239
    Abstract: [Task] To provide an automatic ice maker with improved corrosion resistance to prevent ice-making water and ice from being contaminated by a corrosion product such as rust, thereby enhancing the reliability of food sanitation. [Means for solution] The automatic ice maker produces ice having a required shape by supplying ice-making water in circulation to an ice compartment 10 that is cooled by a cooling pipe 48. The automatic ice maker has an electroless nickel-phosphorus plated coating 23 formed in a thickness of 15 ?m or more on an outermost layer of the ice compartment 10, which coating 23 contains a 10% to 15% phosphorus component.

  • Patent number: 7832418
    Abstract: In the dishwasher, a washing water distribution pipe on which washing nozzles are installed is arranged within a washing chamber, and is connected removably to a first connecting pipe that communicates with the outlet side of a washing pump. In the same way, a rinsing water distribution pipe on which rinsing nozzles are installed is arranged within the washing chamber, and is connected removably to a second connecting pipe that communicates with the outlet side of a rinsing pump. These connections are made within a washing water tank in the bottom of the washing chamber, therefore the washing water distribution pipe and the rinsing water distribution pipe can be easily installed and removed from the washing chamber. Moreover, the washing water distribution pipe and the rinsing water distribution pipe are unitized, so handling is extremely easy.

  • Patent number: 7806990
    Abstract: A dishwasher is a type in which a part of wash water contained in a wash water tank is replaced with rinse water every washing cycle. The dishwasher determines whether a present washing cycle is in timing of executing a detergent increase supply processing or in timing of executing a detergent normal supply processing (S304). Based on this determination result, by the execution of the detergent increase supply processing, a supply amount of the detergent is increased (S309). Consequently, in the dishwasher, the detergent concentration in the wash water is properly adjusted.

  • Patent number: 5248288
    Abstract: An apparatus for changing workpiece holders in a transfer press. An attachment 90 having suction cups 10 is removably attached to a cross-bar 8. The attachment 90 is supported on a attachment support base 19 disposed in a lower die 2a-2e. A movable upright support 12 which is movable between the attachment support base 19 and the cross-bar 8 is disposed on a die change truck 4. An attachment bearer 17 having a holding device 16 capable of holding the attachment 90 is provided on the top end of the movable upright support 12. The attachment 90 which has been supported on the attachment support base 19 is, in turn, held in position by the holding device 16 of the movable upright support 12, and then through movement of the movable upright support 12 the attachment 90 is transferred to the position of the cross-bar 8 for being fitted on the cross bar 8. Change of suction cups 10 is performed simply through attachment 90 changing. Thus, change of workpiece holders in connection with work change is automatized.
