Patent number: 8247099Abstract: A gas exhaust structure of a battery includes a rupture valve formed in a battery body, and a pipe unit composed by integrating a coupling pipe and an exhaust pipe with each other. A one-side opening of the coupling pipe is coupled to the rupture valve. The exhaust pipe is coupled to an other-side opening of the coupling pipe, guides gas that spouts out from an inside of the battery body through the rupture valve and the one-side opening of the coupling pipe, and exhausts the gas to an outside. The exhaust pipe is arranged to be offset with respect to the rupture valve without allowing an extended line that passes through a center of the rupture valve and a centerline of the exhaust pipe to be perpendicular to each other.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Takafumi Nakahama, Takeo Kakuchi, Nobumitsu Tada, Taihei Koyama, Norihito Togashi, Kenya Kurokawa, Tadashi Shudo, Mami Mizutani

Patent number: 7243760Abstract: An elevator door unit includes cage doors, a cage door lock unit, hall doors, and a lock release unit. The cage doors are provided in a cage which moves in a shaft. The cage door lock unit limits and locks the opening width of the cage doors to the width not to permit passing of passengers. The hall doors are provided in a landing hall, and opened interlocking with the cage doors, when the cage stops in a range of facing to the cage doors. The lock release unit releases the cage door lock unit within the opening width by opening the cage doors by manual operation, when the cage stops in a range that the cage doors face to the hall doors.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2004Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenzo Tonoki, Yoshiaki Fujita, Shin Murakami, Norihito Togashi

Patent number: 7178638Abstract: A car door apparatus of an elevator includes a pair of door panels, a door drive device, and a door-opening mechanism. The pair of door panels open and close a doorway of the car of the elevator. The door drive device drives the door panels to open and close the doorway using electric power. When the car is stopped in an emergency in which a power source for driving the elevator is shut off, the door-opening mechanism starts up the door drive device using a secondary battery to move the door panels in the opening direction by a predetermined distance respectively to make a predetermined clearance between the door panels.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2005Date of Patent: February 20, 2007Assignee: Toshiba Elevator Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshiaki Fujita, Kenzo Tonoki, Norihito Togashi

Patent number: 5969531Abstract: The inspection apparatus for inspecting performance of a structure such as stator windings of an electric rotating machine of the invention comprises a probe including a measuring element, an arm unit and a cylinder face circumferential moving apparatus. The arm unit has an arm link section supporting the probe (mainly comprising a leading end link assembly and an arm posture keeping mechanism), an arm housing section (mainly comprising a guide rail) regarding driving of this arm link section, and an arm driving mechanism. The arm driving mechanism causes the leading end link assembly to project from the guide rail at an angle toward a measuring position side of the stator windings relative to the axial direction of the rotor unit, while causing the arm link section to travel along the guide rail. The arm posture keeping mechanism is provided with a link wire and a spring, and maintains a straight arm posture of the leading end link assembly after projection from the guide rail.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1997Date of Patent: October 19, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Shin Murakami, Tadashi Munakata, Norihito Togashi, Satoshi Suzuki, Sueyoshi Mizuno, Yoshikata Kobayashi, Satoshi Irie, Masanori Sotodate, Katsune Zaitsu, Shinji Takahashi, Hideyuki Shimada
