  • Patent number: 11845083
    Abstract: A container includes a container main body including a housing part and an opening, and a lid configured to close the opening and including an insertion part configured to be inserted to the opening. The outer peripheral surface of the insertion part includes first and second protrusions and first and second recesses. The inner peripheral surface of the opening includes third and fourth protrusions and third and fourth recesses. When the insertion part is temporarily inserted to the opening, the third protrusion presses the first recess in a state where the first protrusion is housed in the third recess. When the insertion part is fully inserted to the opening, the third protrusion presses the second recess and the fourth protrusion presses the first recess in a state where the first protrusion is housed in the fourth recess and the second protrusion is housed in the third recess.

  • Publication number: 20220016555
    Abstract: Provided is an inexpensive mesh filter with high productivity. This mesh filter, which is an integrally molded product of resin, includes: a mesh part in which a plurality of ribs are disposed in a lattice shape; a rim part which is formed in an annular shape so as to surround the mesh part, and to which the plurality of ribs are connected; and a final filling part which is disposed on the inner side of the rim part, and to which some of the plurality of ribs are connected. The cross-sectional area of at least one rib among the ribs connected to the final filling part is smaller than the cross-sectional area of at least one rib among the ribs not connected to the final filling part.

  • Publication number: 20200353461
    Abstract: To provide a holder in which a liquid is not prone to remain in a communicating hole when the liquid is manipulated using a syringe. The holder has a side wall, a plurality of chambers, and one or more communicating hole groups including a plurality of communicating holes. The communicating directions of the plurality of communicating holes included in a single communicating hole group are parallel to each other. The plurality of communicating holes each have essentially the same shape as viewed from the direction of a line normal to an outside opening thereof.

  • Patent number: 7757368
    Abstract: An installation device includes an extruding mechanism that horizontally extrudes a piston ring, positions the piston ring and, after extruding, is driven downwardly and then returned to a waiting position; a ring holding mechanism that has a guide passage for guiding the piston ring, that is driven so as to move close to and apart from a piston in one direction perpendicular to the extruding direction, and that is capable of defining an insertion hole for insertion of the piston; a ring diameter extending mechanism that extends the diameter of the piston ring, that is driven to enter and leave the guide passage of the ring holding mechanism, and that is reversely driven to a position for defining a part of the guide passage when the diameter-extended state of the piston ring is released; and a piston holding member that holds the piston at a predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 7295277
    Abstract: A columnar spacer is interposed between a first substrate and a second substrate for holding a liquid crystal layer between them. The columnar spacer is formed in such a manner as to have an area superposed, in each pixel, with the contact hole formed in the first substrate and an area not superposed with said contact hole. Even in the case where the first and second substrates attached to each other are displaced from each other, the columnar spacer never falls in the contact hole and a desired cell gap can be positively secured. Also, since the columnar spacer is not located in the contact hole, no margin for substrate attachment is required to form the contact hole in the first substrate, thereby improving the open area ratio effective for display for improved display quality.
