Patent number: 4540252Abstract: A side mirror driving apparatus having a side mirror swingably attached to a housing and a driving apparatus supported by the housing. The driving apparatus includes a gear driven by an electric motor and the mirror is operatively linked with the gear by means of a lift lever so that the mirror is inclined in an up-and downward direction and/or left-and rightward direction. At a side of a rear surface of the gear, there is provided a set position stopping device, so that the mirror can be automatically returned to its initial position.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 1984Date of Patent: September 10, 1985Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mikio Hayashi, Kouzi Kawasumi, Yoshinobu Kimura

Patent number: 4495017Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the continuous production of prepreg sheets unidirectionally arranged in parallel which involves contacting a plurality of fiber bundles arranged unidirectionally in parallel with each other with a solvent and continuously taking up the individual fiber bundle units under tension over curved surfaces of spreader bodies, such as cylinders while in a wet state, thereby spreading out said fiber bundles over the curved surfaces by means of said tension and subsequently drying the thus-spread out fibers. The invention also contemplates impregnating the dried fiber bundles with a specified quantity of molten resin to prepare the final prepreg resin-containing sheets.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1983Date of Patent: January 22, 1985Assignee: Sumitomo Chemical Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yasuaki Abe, Mikio Hayashi, Kousaku Asagi, Akira Morii, Kazutoshi Fujimura

Patent number: 4469023Abstract: A cross hammer type dot printer comprises a rotary drum having an outer peripheral surface formed with a plurality of projections extending along its longitudinal axis, and a printer head disposed in front of the drum and movable in a direction which is perpendicular to the direction in which a recording medium is fed. The printer head faces the drum in a way in which it substantially crosses the projections on the drum, and includes an electromagnetically operable printing hammer. The projections are displaceable vertically relative to the printing hammer upon rotation of the drum, while the printing hammer is horizontally displaceable relative to the projections upon movement of the printer head, so that when the hammer strikes against the projections, dots are printed where they cross each other. The printer head of this invention is suitable for use in such a cross hammer type dot printer. It can be made of a small number of parts, and is small.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1982Date of Patent: September 4, 1984Assignee: Seikosha Co., Ltd.Inventor: Mikio Hayashi

Patent number: 4462705Abstract: A print head travelled lengthwise with respect to a cylindrical rotary drum provided on its outer periphery with a plurality of ridges extending parallel to the axis has two or more print hammers electromagnetically driven. The print hammers are arranged parallel to one another at a distance corresponding to a horizontal pitch of a dot matrix and are changeably driven with intervals which the corresponding ridge of the drum requires to move a vertical pitch of the dot matrix. Further, in order to avoid a bad influence of a nonuniformity of rotation of the drum to the printing quality, the print hammers have a plurality of bumps for forming dots on the respective striking surfaces and each of the ridges has a periphery surface of a width greater than a thickness of the print hammer.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1982Date of Patent: July 31, 1984Assignee: Seikosha Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mikio Hayashi, Seiki Mizutani
