Abstract: A mesh filter includes a circular plate-shaped mesh portion having a plurality of openings allowing a fluid to pass, a ring-shaped frame body supporting an outer periphery of the mesh portion, and a button-shaped thick portion positioned on an inner peripheral side of the mesh portion. The frame body includes a gate detachment part at one place in a circumferential direction. The mesh portion includes a plurality of inner ribs and outer ribs symmetrical with respect to an imaginary straight line passing through a center of the gate detachment part and bisecting a planar shape of the frame body. The four inner ribs are formed at regular intervals in a peripheral area of a center axis of the thick portion. The outer ribs extend radially inward from an inner peripheral surface of the frame body and are separately formed on both sides of extended lines of the respective inner ribs.

Abstract: In a shaft body, a first end in an axial direction of a core part having a crisscross cross section orthogonal to the axial direction is connected to a helical gear via a first connecting part, and the second end in the axial direction of the core part is connected to a worm via a second connecting part. A plurality of first framework parts are formed at regular intervals along a direction of a shaft core in the core part between the first connecting part and the second connecting part. A second framework part extends across the first connecting part, the first framework part, and the core part like a diagonal brace. A third framework part extends across a pair of the first framework parts adjacent to each other and the core part like a diagonal brace. A fourth framework part extends across the second connecting part, the first framework part, and the core part like a diagonal brace.

Abstract: In an injection-molded mesh filter, a mesh member for filtering out a foreign substance from a fluid includes: a plurality of horizontal bars; a plurality of vertical bars perpendicular to the horizontal bars; and a rectangular opening defined by an adjacent pair of horizontal bars and an adjacent pair of vertical bars. The horizontal bars and the vertical bars have a substantially ellipsoidal cross-sectional shape. Also, the opening is formed of smooth side faces of the adjacent pair of horizontal bars and smooth side faces of the adjacent pair of vertical bars and the opening at the upstream side of the fluid flow direction flows the fluid in a smoothly-squeezing manner, and the opening at downstream side of the fluid flow direction flows the fluid in a smoothly-expanding manner.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus (10) includes one first power device (30) and a plurality of second power devices (41, 42, and 43). The power supply apparatus is configured to operate simultaneously the first power device (30) and the plurality of the second power devices (41, 42, and 43) to supply a DC power therefrom to a load device (92). The first power device (30) has its output voltage of a DC voltage kept constant irrespective of a magnitude of an output current of the first power device (30). The second power devices (41, 42 and 43) have its output voltage of a DC voltage which decreases monotonically as an output current of the second power devices (41, 42, and 43) increases, respectively. The second power devices (41, 42, and 43) include an adjustment unit configure to adjust the output current in accordance with an instruction value for prescribing a magnitude of the output current.

Abstract: A foot structure for an apparatus including a bolt member and a slide cup. The bolt member has a first end fixed to the apparatus and a second end. The slide cup has, at an upper portion, a recess for slidably supporting the second end of the bolt member, and a lower portion fixed to a floor surface. An elastic member surrounds the bolt member, and is fixed to the apparatus and the slide cup. Horizontal movement of the bolt member in the slide cup is limited within the recess, thereby limiting the range of displacement of the apparatus relative to the floor surface.
