Abstract: A butt welding apparatus and a butt welding method where end faces of at least one plate member to be welded are butted to each other to form a butt portion, and butt welding can be performed on respective plate members which have various thickness sizes on both side portions of the butt portion with electric resistance heat by a pair of electrode members which are common to the respective plate members. At least one electrode member (1) is provided on an outer face thereof with a convex portion (1A) which gradually retreats from one plate member (31) of two plate members (31, 32) as it extends from an intermediate portion, in a thickness direction, of the one electrode member (1) along the one plate member (31).

Abstract: A butt welding apparatus, a butt welding method, and a product manufactured by the butt welding method involves two electrode rollers disposed on both the front and back sides of a thick sheet member and a thin sheet member whose end surfaces are butted. The electrode rollers bridge across the sheet members and are composed of small diameter portions on the side of the thick sheet member and large diameter portions on the side of the thin sheet member. The small diameter portions come into contact with and press the thick sheet member before the large diameter portions come into contact with the thin sheet member. Thus, the end surface of the thick sheet member swells and deforms toward the thin sheet member and reliably comes into contact with the end surface of the thin sheet member, and power is applied between the end surfaces, even if not polished.

Abstract: Various semiconductor light emitting devices are described. In one aspect, the semiconductor light emitting device may include, an insulating substrate having an electrode pattern; a metal body provided on the insulating substrate, the metal body having a through-hole; an adhesive layer provided between the insulating substrate and the metal body; a semiconductor light emitting element provided in the through-hole of the metal body, provided on the insulating substrate and electrically connected to the electrode pattern; and a resin configured to seal the semiconductor light emitting, wherein an inner surface of the through-hole faces the semiconductor light emitting element. The inner surface may have a slanted surface and at least a part of the light emitted from the semiconductor light emitting element reflected by the inner surface.

Abstract: The present invention is a butt welding apparatus and a butt welding method where end faces of at least one plate member to be welded are butted to each other to form a butt portion, and butt welding can be performed on respective plate members to be welded which have various thickness sizes on both side portions of the butt portion with electric resistance heat by a pair of two electrode members which are made common to the respective plate members and are supplied with power. At least one electrode member (1) of a pair of electrode members (1, 2) for butt-welding two plate members (31, 32) is provided on an outer face thereof with a retreating-shaped portion (1A) which gradually retreats from one plate member (31) of the two plate members (31, 32) according to extension from an intermediate portion, in a thickness direction, of the one electrode member (1) along the one plate member (31).

Abstract: Disclosed are a butt welding apparatus, a butt welding method, and a product manufactured by the butt welding method. Two electrode rollers (3, 4) are disposed on both the front and back sides of a thick sheet member (1) and on both the front and back sides of a thin sheet member (2) whose end surfaces (1A, 2A) are butted. The electrode rollers (3, 4) are applied with power, melt the butt portion (6) of the sheet members (1, 2) with electric resistance heat, and joint the butt portion. Further, the electrode rollers (3, 4) have a length bridging across the sheet members (1, 2) and are composed of first portions (3A, 4A) arranged as small diameter portions on the side of the thick sheet member (1) and second portions (3B, 4B) arranged as large diameter portions on the side of the thin sheet member (2). The first portions (3A, 4A) come into contact with the thick sheet member (1) and presses it before the second portions (3B, 4B) come into contact with the thin sheet member (2).

Abstract: In an attachment structure of a gasket for a refrigerant-seal, both first and second connection members are disposed to define a seal space by first and second opposite surfaces and first and second wall surfaces, and the gasket having a beam portion is disposed in the seal space so that one end surface of the gasket is held on the first wall surface of the first connection member and the other end surface of the gasket is separated from the second wall surface of the second connection member by a predetermined clearance, before both the first and second connection members are fastened. After both the first and second connection members are fastened, the gasket extends, and the other end surface of the gasket press-contacts the second wall surface.

Abstract: An ethylene-propylene copolymer rubber (EP rubber) composition is usable as a molded rubber product having freon-gas barrier properties. The EP rubber composition is an organic peroxide vulcanizable (crosslinkable) type having, as a base, a rubber polymer containing an EP rubber of an amount of at least 30 wt. % in the whole rubber polymer. In addition, the EP rubber has a Mooney viscosity (ML1+4, 100° C.) of about 50 or greater.

Abstract: In a heat exchanger having a side plate for reinforcing a core portion, after an elastic support member for supporting the core portion is inserted between opposite walls of the side plate, a part of the opposite walls having a slit portion is plastically deformed at a position around the slit to form a protrusion. The protrusion protrudes toward the support member to be engaged with a recess of the elastic support member. Further, the silt is provided to penetrate through each opposite wall without being opened to an outer peripheral end of the side plate. Accordingly, the support member can be readily attached to the side plate, while it can prevent the side plate from being deformed in a brazing.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to decrease the machining cost and to improve the productivity. A liquid pressure control device (21) for load responding brake comprises a valve mechanism (25), which is slidably disposed in a housing (22), for decreasing the liquid pressure of a master cylinder in a predetermined proportion and transmitting the liquid pressure to a rear wheel brake cylinder by the movement of a plunger (24) operated in response to the liquid pressure from the master cylinder; and a load sensing mechanism (27) in which a load depending on the movable load of a vehicle is applied to the plunger (24) so as to move the pressure decrease operation start point of the valve mechanism (25). The housing (22) is formed by cutting a long material (50) formed by extrusion or drawing to a predetermined length and then by machining the cut material (51).
