Patent number: 7870938Abstract: An object of the present invention is to realize a structure able to well retain contact performance between an overhead line and a slider 7b, across the entire lengthwise direction of the slider 7b. The slider 7b formed of slider elements 34a and 34b divided in the crosswise direction of a vehicle, is supported on the upper surface of a slider support body 9. A center support member 12 forming the slider support body 9 is elastically deformed downward in a concaved shape across the longitudinal direction, due to a load applied due to contact between the overhead lines and the slider 7b. Also, together with this, both ends of the center support member 12 are supported on a shoe body 3a so as to allow free oscillation via the respective end section support members 13.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Central Japan Railway CompanyInventors: Fumio Okimoto, Isao Naruse, Yasuki Nakakura, Yasutaka Terada, Nobuo Yamanaka, Toshio Shikama, Junichi Fujiwara, Kenichi Kitazawa

Patent number: 5779841Abstract: A container is constructed from a synthetic resin. The containers can be efficiently piled or stacked, since ears provided on the container do not prevent piling. The container includes: a bottom part, a drum part provided at the periphery of the bottom part and at least one ear on the drum part and formed by a kerf. The ear is formed unified with the drum part and can stand up from the drum part. A synthetic resin film covers the kerf in a liquid tight manner over at least the ear forming part of the drum part. The container is designed so the ear can stand in use while the container can pile without projection of the ear before using.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1995Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventor: Nobuo Yamanaka

Patent number: 5531339Abstract: The present invention relates to a bottle made of synthetic resin, for containing various liquids, that can be easily fractured for easier handling during disposal or recycling. The bottle comprises a plurality of fracturing walls, each formed in a longitudinal band shape extending substantially in a direction of a central axis of the bottle, and main walls each disposed between the fracturing walls. The fracturing walls are made of a first material and a second material, the first material being a synthetic resin that is the same as a synthetic resin forming the main walls and/or has good compatibility with the synthetic resin of the main walls, the second material being a synthetic resin that has poor compatibility with the synthetic resin of the main walls. The bonding strength between the fracturing walls and the main walls is controlled so as to make the bottle easily fractured. If necessary, an inner covering member can be assembled within the bottle.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1994Date of Patent: July 2, 1996Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuo Yamanaka, Takashi Fujie, Hiroshi Hidaka, Yoshio Akiyama

Patent number: 4198457Abstract: Herein disclosed is a molded article of a synthetic resin having on its smooth surface a decorative pattern which is viewable as a stereoscopic image from the outside. The molded article includes a substratum which forms the general structure of the molded article and which is molded of a material consisting essentially of a synthetic resin and an additive. The article further includes a decorative surface layer which is formed on the substratum in a manner to provide a generally smooth finish. This decorative surface layer is composed both of a decorative pattern portion figured by the flow marks inside of the trace of a relief pattern, which has once been formed during the molding process of the article, and of a ground portion. The decorative surface layer is made during the molding process integrally with and of the same material as that of the substratum.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1975Date of Patent: April 15, 1980Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadao Saito, Takamitsu Nozawa, Nobuo Yamanaka

Patent number: 4141471Abstract: The present invention relates to a cap for an atomizer and, more particularly, to a cap for an atomizer especially of a type having a manually operated accumulation type main body.However, the cap of the invention is widely applicable to other types of atomizers than the above mentioned type, having an ejecting pipe extending upwardly from the top surface of the main body and provided at its upper end with an atomizing head having nozzle ports (This head may be called an "actuator," as well.), the ejecting pipe being adapted to be depressed for allowing the content of the pipe to be released through the pipe to be atomized by the atomizing head.The cap of the invention can be effectively used especially for those atomizers having a large amount of spray at one time.The cap of the invention is characterized by comprising a lever fitted thereto for depressing the atomizing head. Thanks to the provision of this lever, the atomizing head can be depressed with a reduced force, without substantial difficulty.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 1977Date of Patent: February 27, 1979Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takamitsu Nozawa, Nobuo Yamanaka, Riichi Ogawa
