Patent number: 9752920Abstract: Provided is a liquid-surface detection device in which a holder, which turns concurrently with movement of a float arm that moves based on a change in a liquid surface, is securely and rotatably mounted on a frame. A liquid-surface detection device includes a holder that includes an upper piece and a lower piece, and a frame that includes a bearing, a first groove, and a second groove. When mounting the holder onto the frame, the first groove guides the lower piece to the second groove, and the second groove further guides the lower piece to the bearing part so that the bearing part of the frame is disposed between the upper piece and the lower piece of the holder.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2014Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: NIPPON SEIKI CO., LTD.Inventors: Tetsuya Sato, Akira Sakamaki, Takayuki Yamaura, Shigeki Koide

Patent number: 9470598Abstract: Provided are a pressure detection device having a fail-safe structure for minimizing leaking out of a fluid targeted for pressure detection, and a method for producing the same. A pressure detection device is provided with: a fluid inflow member having a flow path; a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the fluid that has flowed into the flow path; a base plate unit having a first resin section surrounding the pressure sensor; a lid section which is bonded to the first resin section so as to cover the pressure sensor from above, and forms a sealed space in the interior of which the pressure sensor is located; a terminal unit; and a resin cover section for bonding the fluid inflow member, the base plate unit, the lid section, and the terminal unit. The lid section is bonded to the first resin section and is pushed on from above by the resin cover section.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Nippon Seiki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shuji Sato, Yoshihiro Kamimura, Keiji Tsurumaki, Shigeki Koide

Patent number: 9435678Abstract: A liquid level detection device is configured so as to reduce or eliminate the contact between electrical cords led out of a detection section. A liquid level detection device is provided with: a detection section which detects the position of a liquid surface on the basis of the rotation of a rotation section rotating as a float is displaced; a plate-like mounting plate section, one surface of which is a mounting surface to which the detection section is mounted; a flange section which is mounted to a tank for containing liquid; and first and second electrical cords which are led out of the detection section toward the flange section. A branch section which comprises a through-hole is provided in the mounting plate section. The second electrical cord passes through the branch section and is routed around from the mounting surface side of the mounting plate section to the back surface side thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: NIPPON SEIKI CO., LTD.Inventors: Shigeki Koide, Keiji Tsurumaki, Hisahito Ichisawa
