Patent number: 11306925Abstract: An outdoor unit of an air-conditioning apparatus has a structure that enables a terminal block to be added on a front side that a worker can easily contact, without greatly changing the location of an existing terminal block and the basic shape of a mounting portion. In a casing of the outdoor unit, a heat exchanger, an outdoor fan, a compressor, and an electrical component are provided. The outdoor unit includes: terminal blocks to be connected to the electrical component; and a terminal-block mounting portion facing from the inside of the casing toward the outside thereof. The terminal blocks are arranged in the height direction of the terminal-block mounting portion, and include first and second terminal blocks on a lower side and an upper side, respectively. The second terminal block is mounted on a terminal-block seat on the terminal-block mounting portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yo Kitabatake, Shigeru Hata

Patent number: 7686105Abstract: A drill includes a main body and a high-hard tip attached to a front end of the body. The tip has a width greater than the diameter of the body and has an angular cutting portion. In order to form a hole having a greater distal end in a wall, the tip is attached on the main body in such a way that a cutting point on an axial line of the tip is eccentrically shifted from an axis of the main body. The drill is inserted into a preliminary hole drilled beforehand and cuts a distal end of the preliminary hole to form a hole including an expanded distal end having a greater diameter. Thereby, the expanded distal end hole having a greater distal end can be formed that is capable of increasing the fixity of an anchor far greater.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2007Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Nihon Project Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shigeru Hata
