Patent number: 11134757Abstract: Provided is a fastener stringer attachment structure which can provide an attractive pants silhouette, improve the fit of the pants, and furthermore, reduce the manufacturing cost of the pants by reducing the number of superposed fabrics at a side edge section of a lower front bodice. A fastener tape of a fastener stringer is sewn with a sewing thread to the upper surface of a lower side fabric so that a fastener element of the fastener stringer is positioned inside an end section of the lower side fabric, and a portion of the sewing thread positioned over the fastener tape is in contact with the upper surface of the fastener tape.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2016Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignees: Gotalio Co., Ltd., YKK CorporationInventors: Noriko Torigoe, Shoji Matsui, Hisashi Masuda

Patent number: 10966490Abstract: A female button is in an unlocked state when a rotator takes a first position and is in a locked state when the rotator takes a second position, insertion and removal of a post of a male button being allowed in the unlocked state, and insertion and removal of the post of the male button being hindered in the locked state. Arresting part or elastic member is provided with a projection which, when the rotator rotates toward the second position, displaces the arresting part toward the rotational axis before the rotator reaches the second position and, if the displacement of the arresting part toward the rotational axis is obstructed by the post, rotational resistance of the rotator is increased.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Inventors: Eiji Sumiuchi, Shoji Matsui, Hayato Tadokoro, Takahiro Kanno

Patent number: 8015674Abstract: A metallic engaging element of vintage type having a pair of leg portions formed so as to branch to right and left sections from the bottom of a body portion of the engaging element. The leg portions are formed into an L-like sectional shape including a sheet-like nipping portion and a leg portion side wall. The sheet-like nipping portion has a notch portion for sandwiching one side edge portion of a fastener tape from the front and rear surfaces. At least one projecting portion is formed in each of leg portion inner wall surfaces opposing the one side edge portion of the fastener tape in the leg portion side wall.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Shoji Matsui, Teruo Ozaki, Katsuo Satake

Patent number: 6757942Abstract: A tape with snap fastener in which fixing strength of a fastener to a tape main body is secured and which is excellent in durability by eliminating a possibility that the fastener may contact directly the tape upon engagement and disengagement and has good external design performance. A base portion is fixed to front and rear surfaces of the tape main body of the male or female synthetic resin snap fastener, and a substantially cylindrical engaging protruding portion projects vertically from the base portion. A ring-like continuous concave groove portion, which has the same center as the base portion and an inner diameter exceeding the inner diameter of the engaging protruding portion, is provided on any one of front and rear surfaces of the base portion. The engaging protruding portion and the continuous concave groove portion have depth reaching the tape main body.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2003Date of Patent: July 6, 2004Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Shoji Matsui, Hideyuki Matsushima

Patent number: 5457602Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprising a disk unit, a power supply unit, at least one printed circuit board, a heat-exhaust fan, and a box accommodating the disk unit, the power supply unit, the printed circuit board, the heat-exhaust fan. Both the depth and height of the box are larger than the width and has first and second side surfaces defined by the depth and height, bottom and top surfaces defined by the depth and width, and front and rear surfaces defined the height and width. The disk unit and the power supply unit are disposed adjacent to the first side surface. The printed circuit board is disposed adjacent to the second side surface. The disk unit is disposed on the front surface, and the power supply unit is disposed on the rear surface. The apparatus is supported by a first leg and a second leg. Cooling air is exhausted through the first leg which includes a cut-out which communicates with a hollow portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1990Date of Patent: October 10, 1995Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Koichi Kimura, Takashi Maruyama, Nobukazu Kondo, Hiroaki Aotsu, Michikazu Isono, Shoji Matsui, Toshiyuki Edakawa, Sadao Nakatsuka, Toshio Shibata, Mitsuji Suzuki, Yoshio Kakihi, Chihiro Tsuchiya, Tetuya Fukunaga, Takao Ohsawa, Noriyoshi Ogura

Patent number: 4854121Abstract: A combined cycle power plant capable of controlling a water level of a boiler drum of the power plant generally comprises a gas turbine system, a system turbine system, and a waste heat recovery system which are thermally linked with a feed water supply line and a steam supply line. The waste heat recovery system includes a boiler which is provided with a drum containing a feed water. The power plant further comprises a drum water level control system for stably maintaining the water level by selectively carrying out respective controlling modes in accordance with operation conditions such as an ordinary operation time, an operation stop time and a loss of fire of the gas turbine system by for example processing control signals in utilization of a change-over switch.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1987Date of Patent: August 8, 1989Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Michio Arii, Yoshihisa Kamataki, Shirou Hino, Shoji Matsui
