Abstract: A conveyor device includes conveyor unit to convey a sheet along a path, a holder disposed at a downstream end of the path and holding sheets discharged from the conveyor unit in a stack, and a pressing unit. The pressing unit moves between a first position and a third position via a second position, contacts an uppermost sheet in the stack, and rises in an upward direction that approaches the third position as the sheets in the stack increase. The conveyor device also includes an urging member that does not apply an urging force to the pressing unit when the pressing unit is positioned between the first position and the second position; and applies an urging force to the pressing unit to urge the pressing unit toward the first position when the pressing unit is positioned between the second position and the third position.

Abstract: After outer panels have been assembled on a vehicle frame, they are coated with an aqueous lustering agent P, and then irradiated with a light beam L. Light reflected by the outer panels is processed to produce a degree and range of distortion thereof. Based on the produced degree and range of distortion, it is determined whether the outer panels suffer a surface distortion or not. The determined result is displayed on a display monitor. According to the displayed image, the outer panels are repaired and thereafter coated with a paint.

Abstract: The present invention relates an enclosed cell and fabricating methods of the cell which has a safety valve mechanism for releasing gas from inside the cell when an internal pressure of the cell rises to an excessive degree. The characterizing feature of the invention resides in the use of a resin packing as sealing element, junctions between the resin packing and a metal lid and between the resin packing and a polar terminal being closed tight by thermal fusion. This construction assures reliable sealing in normal state, and permits the packing to break with an excessive rise in the internal pressure thereby to release gas from inside the cell. The cell of this invention is readily fabricated by injection molding or by a hot press process. Therefore, the enclosed cell according to this invention is fabricated very rationally and inexpensively, assures excellent sealing and safety, and has wide application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sealed type battery provided with a safety valve and a method of manufacturing the same, the sealed type battery of the present invention has a mouth-sealing plate, provided with the safety valve, serving as a terminal of one polarity, being arranged through an insulating member in a hole of a metallic cover closing an opened portion of an exterior can serving as a terminal of the other polarity, and an extension of a hole edge of the metallic cover being cramped to the insulating member to fix said mouth-sealing plate, whereby the cramping diameter can be reduced in comparison with that of the conventional battery, and as a result, the high hermeticity can be given to the battery and the electrolyte can be completely prevented from leaking.
