  • Patent number: 7318747
    Abstract: A board is easily and securely mounted on a panel. Projecting parts are formed on the panel, and arc open grooves which are inserted onto the projecting parts are formed in a bulb board. The open grooves of the bulb board each are inserted onto the projecting parts, then the bulb board is turned within the surface of the panel to lock the bulb board to the panel by bringing the bottom surfaces of the bent parts formed at the ends of the projecting parts into contact with the surface of the bulb board. A stopper rib is formed on the panel to prevent the bulb board from turning backward, thereby preventing the board from being separated from the panel.

  • Patent number: 5000127
    Abstract: A cylinder liner and method for forming it for a reciprocating machine including a sleeve having one or more port openings that have stepped diameters so as to form a shoulder. The shoulder lies approximately at the finished outer diameter of the sleeve and a resist or stop layer is positioned on the larger diameter portion of the port opening and the sleeve is plated so that the plating layer will extend only over the inner surface, first portion of the port opening and the shoulder. As a result, removal of the outer sleeve periphery will not upset the plating layer nor will it leave edges of the plating layer exposed to flow through the port as might cause erosion.
