  • Patent number: 11018390
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a lid for storage battery comprising a terminal having a rectangular parallelepiped shape and a cavity portion, and a nut having a rectangular parallelepiped shape and being inserted into the cavity portion. The terminal has a first through-hole extending from an upper surface toward a lower surface of the terminal and a second through-hole extending from a front surface toward a rear plate portion of the terminal. The nut has a first screw hole extending from an upper surface toward a lower surface of the nut, and a second screw hole extending from a front surface toward a back surface of the nut, the first and second screw holes communicating with the first and second through-holes of the terminal, respectively. A direction in which the first screw hole extends does not intersect with a direction in which the second screw hole extends.

  • Patent number: 9608253
    Abstract: A lead-acid battery terminal member includes: a terminal portion which is arranged in a resin-made cover for closing a container; and a cylindrical bushing which is connected to the terminal portion through a conducting portion. The bushing is embedded in the cover, and has a plurality of annular projecting portions formed on an outer periphery thereof. Poles extending from an electrode group arranged in the container are inserted into and are welded to the bushing. Surface roughness of a surface of the annular projecting portion which faces a resin forming the cover in an opposed manner is lower than surface roughness of a surface of a portion other than the annular projecting portion.

  • Patent number: 7789614
    Abstract: It is an object to provide an aligner for centering a wafer and adjusting an angle of a notch or the like of the wafer while gripping edges of the wafer capable of attaining a shortened takt time and miniaturization of the apparatus by employing a mechanism capable of infinite rotation without being restricted by a rotational range, by eliminating cables and/or tubes at the rotating portion. The link mechanism for causing opening and closing movements of the gripping mechanism for gripping a wafer 1 is supported via a bearing 14 with respect to the link mechanism driving portion for driving the link mechanism so that only the gripping portion and the link mechanism can be rotated.
