  • Publication number: 20060040094
    Abstract: An electronic component substrate 1-1 includes an insulating base 10 and a flexible circuit board 20 mounted on the insulating base 10. The flexible circuit board 20 is a synthetic resin film provided thereon with terminal patterns 29 and a conductor pattern 25 whose surface is slidingly contacted with a slider. The insulating base 10 is a synthetic resin molded piece. The flexible circuit board 20 is insert-molded to the insulating base 10. The electronic component substrate 1-1 is produced by preparing the flexible circuit board 20 and first and second mold members 41 and 45 having a cavity C1 with a shape that corresponds to the external shape of the electronic component substrate 1-1. Then, the flexible circuit board 20 is accommodated in the cavity C1 between the first and second mold members 41 and 45, and a molten molding resin is filled into the cavity C1. After the filled molding resin has been solidified, the first and second mold members 41 and 45 are removed.

  • Patent number: 4746275
    Abstract: A multi-piston swash plate type compressor with an internal lubricating arrangement for an air conditioning system used in a vehicle such as an automobile comprises a cylinder block body having a swash plate chamber formed therein for receiving a swash plate, and cylinder bores formed therein for receiving pistons. The compressor has a suction chamber which is fed with a refrigerant including a lubrication oil from an evaporator of the air conditioning system, and a discharge chamber which feeds the compressed refrigerant to a condenser of the air conditioning system. The suction and discharge chambers are communicated with each of the cylinder bores through valves. Passages are formed in the cylinder block body for feeding the refrigerant from the swash plate member to the suction chamber in such a manner that the refrigerant flow is guided to positively lubricate movable parts included in the cylinder block body as a component element of the compressor.
