  • Patent number: 9941063
    Abstract: A limit switch having a housing having a box, an attachment hold made in a side surface of the box, having a cylindrical bearing section, a rotating shaft rotatably inserted through the cylindrical bearing section, a cam unit provided in a leading end portion of the rotating shaft, and an operation lever provided in the other end portion of the rotating shaft. Rotational action of the operation lever is converted into vertical action by the cam unit in the box. A contact of a switch main body accommodated in and fixed to the housing is opened and closed. An outer diameter of the cam unit is smaller than an inner diameter of the attachment hole.

  • Publication number: 20140374224
    Abstract: A limit switch has a housing, a plunger that is supported in the housing while being vertically movable, a switch main body disposed in and fixed to the housing by the plunger, an operation shaft having an upper end thereof exposed from a ceiling surface of the switch main body, a contact that is opened and closed by driving the upper end of the operation switch, and a displacement expanding mechanism arranged between the switch main body and the plunger. The displacement expanding mechanism has a pair of pivoting tongue pieces rotatably supported by a pair of support shafts arranged in parallel with each other. A free end of one of the pivoting tongue pieces is abutted on the upper end of the operation shaft. A free end of the other pivoting tongue piece is abutted on an upper surface of one of the pivoting tongue pieces.

  • Patent number: 6482337
    Abstract: In a method for evaluation of abrasion of a forming mold, abrasion amounts of divided pieces which are divided from a mold piece constituting a cavity are measured with the divided pieces removed or not removed from a forming mold body. A layer, a marking-off line or satin is formed on the surfaces of the divided pieces, which are observed visually every predetermined shot to judge a degree of abrasion of the respective divided pieces.
