Publication number: 20220087706Abstract: An ultrasound treatment tool that includes: a probe that includes a main body and a treating portion; and a first tubular portion. The first tubular portion includes at least one through hole that is formed in a wall of the first tubular portion so as to be in fluid communication with a liquid channel in the first tubular portion, and an opening that is formed at a distal end of the first tubular portion. A total opening area of the through hole(s) is larger than a cross-sectional opening area of the liquid channel at the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuyuki MATSUMURA, Takamitsu SAKAMOTO, Ken FUJISAKI, Naoyuki SUIDO

Patent number: 10054896Abstract: A drive transmission device includes a rotation shaft, a drive transmitter attached to the rotation shaft to slide in an axial direction and including an engaging portion extending in the axial direction, and a coil spring to bias the drive transmitter to one side in the axial direction, and a shaft-side drive transmitter disposed on the rotation shaft. The coil spring includes a sparse portion and a dense portion. The shaft-side drive transmitter engages the engaging portion to prevent the drive transmitter from disengaging from the rotation shaft. The coil spring and the engaging portion satisfy C>A?B where A represents a length of the coil spring in a state in which the shaft-side drive transmitter retains the drive transmitter, B represents a compressed height of the coil spring, and C represents a length of the coil spring in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroaki Takagi, Kimiharu Yamazaki, Naoyuki Suido, Shogo Sakamoto

Patent number: 9581953Abstract: A rotary drive device includes a drive motor and drive transmission portion, which transmits a rotational drive force of the motor to a driven rotor and includes three or more drive transmission members. A high stiffness member is attached to a low-stiffness drive transmission member, which is one, lower in stiffness, of two of the drive transmission members, to increase stiffness of the low-stiffness drive transmission member. The two form a drive transmission point corresponding to a resonant point of a lowest resonance frequency among frequencies at a plurality of resonance points in frequency response characteristics derived from rotation information. One drive transmission point, which is on either a drive-transmission input side or output side, other than the drive transmission point corresponding to the resonant point of the lowest resonance frequency, of the low-stiffness drive transmission member is configured to transmit the rotational drive force through the high stiffness member.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: RICOH COMPANY, LIMITEDInventors: Naoyuki Suido, Keisuke Shimizu, Hiroaki Takagi, Kimiharu Yamazaki, Tadahiro Satoh
