  • Patent number: 11944165
    Abstract: The molded surface fastener includes: a fastener member that has a plurality of engagement elements disposed upright on the first surface of a base portion, and a back member that is secured to the second surface of the fastener member and that is provided with a structure enabling passage of a synthetic resin. The base portion has a first base region of a predetermined thickness and a second base region formed to be thicker than the first base region, and the back member is secured to at least the second base region of the base portion. The adhesion strength of the back member to the fastener member is thus increased, enabling the back member to be held more firmly by the base portion.

  • Patent number: 10524547
    Abstract: A molded surface fastener has engagement regions in which engaging elements are disposed in an erect manner and space regions with no engaging elements, the engagement regions and the space regions alternating in the longitudinal direction. Each space region has a pair of left and right vertical wall portions that are disposed on a substrate portion in an erect manner and a convex rib portion that protrudes from the center of the substrate portion in the width direction, and the convex rib portion is integrally connected to a main lateral wall portion disposed in the width direction of the engagement region. By implementing a simple cutting process, this molded surface fastener can be easily adapted to usages in which the fastener has to be in a curved shape bending in the width direction.

  • Patent number: 10137570
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transfer robot which has a simple structure and a small occupied area in an operation. A transfer robot of the present invention includes a support member fixed to a side wall or the like, a transfer arm by which a hand member is held capable of linear movement, and first and second link members. One end portions of the first and second link members are rotatably linked to the support member, respectively. Another end portions of the first and second link members are rotatably linked to the transfer arm, respectively. The hand member holds/transfers a work. A rotational driving force applied to a linking portion between the support member and the first link member is transmitted to the transfer arm by a predetermined mechanism and linearly moves the hand member. The transfer arm moves by rotating the first link member or the second link member.
