Publication number: 20120142247Abstract: A toy main section includes an operation unit. When a first operation is performed with the operation unit, releasing means executes release of first holding means and release of second holding means at different timings. Also, when a second operation is performed with the operation unit, the release of the first holding means and the release of the second holding means are substantially simultaneously performed. Accordingly, since a form is changed in different ways in accordance with the operation with the operation unit, a toy with an unexpected change in form can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2011Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: BANDAI CO., LTD.Inventors: Noboru Hara, Nobuyuki Ito, Takamichi Murayama, Tomonori Nakai, Kazuhiro Kikuchi

Patent number: 4946284Abstract: In a mixing head for mixing plural kinds of liquid materials, a first forward movement passage for opening a discharge control valve which control supplying the liquid materials into a mixing chamber, is ramified from a second forward movement passage for closing a circulation control valve which controls the circulation of the liquid materials, and extends across a spool of the circulation control valve. The spool is provided with a groove for opening the first forward movement passage when the circulation control valve is in a closed state. Further, a restriction passage having a check valve for keeping a working fluid from flowing into a first cylinder including a first piston of the discharge control valve, is formed to be communicated with the first cylinder at a side of the first forward movement passage and is ramified from the second forward movement passage.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1989Date of Patent: August 7, 1990Assignee: Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masatoshi Teranishi, Noboru Hara, Katsumi Tachi, Hisayasu Sugita
