  • Patent number: 7391598
    Abstract: To provide an ionizer wherein an air flow path in a hollow casing is formed so as to be pressure-resistant while ensuring an effective cross sectional area without becoming voluminous, and the flow path is ensured simply and easily. In an ionizer including a hollow casing that contains a high voltage power unit and a control unit inside, along the longitudinal direction of the casing, a plurality of electrode units each including needle electrodes and an air outlet for blowing out an air stream around the needle electrodes are arranged in a line. A part along the longitudinal direction of the hollow casing is formed of a synthetic resin, and a resin casing composed of the synthetic resin is integrally formed with a conduit of an air flow path extending in the longitudinal direction of the casing so that a part of the inner wall of the resin casing serves as a wall of the conduit and that the air flow path communicates with the air outlet.

  • Patent number: 6754996
    Abstract: A tiling tatami panel suitable for tiling comprises a base member easy to cut and a facing on the base member, and preferably has a 300 to 750 mm square size in its plan view. The facing is made of natural or synthetic-resin rushes of wooden fibers. The base material is composed of an upper layer of composite foam of calcium carbonate and polyethylene or polyolefin, or felt, and stacked on a main layer of natural or synthetic rubber. The tiling tatami panel has chamfered borders, and peripheral surfaces of the tiling tatami panel including the chamfered borders are covered with a protective film.

  • Patent number: 6559746
    Abstract: A thrust producer of a moving-magnet type includes a rod supported for upward and downward movements by an apparatus main body through an air hydrostatic bearing and a thrust producer for moving the rod up and down, the thrust producer has a magnet mounted to the rod to be displaced with the rod and a coil provided to the apparatus main body to generate magnetic force when the coil is energized, and the thrust producer produces thrust by an interaction of the magnet and the magnetic force generated by the coil.
