Patent number: 11964356Abstract: A hand-held tool, such as a disc grinder, is used to perform work at a high work site, a countermeasure is taken to prevent the hand-held tool from falling by using a suspension tool, such as a tether strap. If a coupling part that couples the suspension tool to the hand-held tool is damaged, this fact is notified to a user. Thereby, an original function of the suspension tool can be reliably performed. If a large impact is applied to a coupling member via a suspension tool, the coupling member is displaced to a second position, due to the deformation of a first position retaining member. A conductive portion disengages from contacts to cause a power circuit to be shut off, thereby prohibiting a main body part from being activated.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Ryosuke Otani, Junya Ishikawa, Takafumi Kotsuji, Satoshi Ninagawa, Ken Goto, Yu Eto

Patent number: 5562952Abstract: In a plasma-CVD method and apparatus, plasma is formed from a film material gas in a process chamber and, in the plasma, a film is deposited on a substrate disposed in the process chamber. Formation of the plasma from the material gas is performed by application of an rf-power prepared by effecting an amplitude modulation on a basic rf-power having a frequency in a range from 10 MHz to 200 MHz. A modulation frequency of the amplitude modulation is in a range from 1/1000 to 1/10 of the frequency of the basic rf-power. Alternatively, the rf-power is prepared by effecting on the basic rf-power a first amplitude modulation at a frequency in a range from 1/1000 to 1/10 of the frequency of the basic rf-power, and additionally effecting a second amplitude modulation on the modulated rf-power. A modulation frequency of the second amplitude modulation is in a range from 1/100 to 100 times the modulation frequency of the first amplitude modulation.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 1995Date of Patent: October 8, 1996Assignee: Nissin Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahiro Nakahigashi, Hiroshi Murakami, Satoshi Otani, Takao Tabata, Hiroshi Maeda, Hiroya Kirimura, Hajime Kuwahara
