  • Patent number: 11890679
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a three-dimensional object includes: a positioning step, an adhering step, a placing step, an additive manufacturing step, and a detaching step. In the positioning step, a fixing plate in which adhesive injection holes are formed is placed on a thin plate, and the thin plate is positioned on the fixing plate. In the adhering step, an adhesive is dripped to the adhesive injection holes, and the fixing plate is adhered to the thin plate. In the additive manufacturing step, a three-dimensional object in which the thin plate and a solidified layer are integrated is formed. In the detaching step, adhesion between the thin plate and the fixing plate is removed by a removing agent corresponding to the adhesive.

  • Patent number: 4274027
    Abstract: A rotor for electric rotating machines has a plurality of salient poles arranged in spaced relation in axial direction on the outer periphery of the rotor rim. Adjacent salient poles have opposed slots in the axial direction, into which a shielding member is fitted to bridge between said adjacent poles. The shielding member includes a plurality of rod members fitted over the entire length of said slots to extend across said opposed slots. While the rotor is running, the centrifugal force acts on each of said rod members thereby pressing the rod members against the outer periphery side wall of the slot. As a result, the centrifugal force is dispersed substantially uniformly over the entire length of the slot wall.

  • Patent number: 4169235
    Abstract: This invention concerns a rotary electric machine, for example, a synchronous machine having salient rotary magnetic poles, which is equipped with a built-up type rotor. The built-up type rotor consists of a plurality of rotary members, which are coupled in the axial direction into an integral form.In such a built-up type rotor, the rotary members are sometimes displaced with respect to one another in the radial direction by centrifugal forces to which they are subjected during operation (rotation). As a result, the rotational balance of the rotor is lost, which tends to cause oscillations. Therefore, by skillfully exploiting the centrifugal forces which the rotary members undergo during operation (rotation), the radial displacements of the rotary members to one another are suppressed, thereby also serving to suppress the generation of oscillations.
