Patents by Inventor Naohiro Katayama

Naohiro Katayama has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7431383
    Abstract: A construction machine includes a lower traveling body on which an upper rotating body is rotatably disposed. The rotating body includes an upper frame provided with a bottom plate and a supporter acting as a perpendicular member. The bottom plate has an attachment hole extending substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate. The supporter is welded substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate while one end of the supporter is engaged with the attachment hole. Accordingly, the supporter can be easily fixed to the bottom plate while maintaining the perpendicularity and a proper height setting of the supporter.

  • Patent number: 4320448
    Abstract: A vibrating compressor wherein an alternating voltage is applied from a d-c power source to a drive coil vibrating in a magnetic field via a d-c/a-c converter circuit is disclosed. An alternating voltage of a square wave form is applied to the drive coil of the vibrating compressor in such a manner as to avoid the timing at which a counter electromotive force generated in the drive coil intersects with zero level.

  • Patent number: 4179899
    Abstract: A refrigerating system having a compressor; an inverter connected to the compressor for supplying electric energy to the compressor; and an input voltage control circuit provided on the input side of the inverter, wherein the input voltage control circuit generates output voltage signals which change at a predetermined level, including zero level, within a certain temperature range in response to the ambient temperature of the refrigerating system and in accordance with the temperature condition, the voltage thus produced being fed to the compressor via the inverter. The refrigerating system of this invention is, therefore, protected from failure or damage even when placed in an extreme temperature environment, and resumes automatically the supply of power to the compressor when the ambient temperature of the system is restored to the normal temperature.
