Patent number: 8677989Abstract: A nebulizer kit includes a case body, a flow channel formation member that covers an opening of the case body, an outside air introduction tube erected vertically from a base surface of the flow channel formation member and including a long groove formed in an inner circumferential surface thereof, a compressed air introduction tube below the outside air introduction tube within the case body and extending toward the interior of the outside air introduction tube, and an atomizing area formation member. The atomizing area formation member includes a liquid suction tube formation portion, a baffle, and a baffle support portion that connects the liquid suction tube formation portion and the baffle and that extends toward a side area of the baffle from an outer surface of the liquid suction tube formation portion. The baffle support portion is contained within the long groove of the outside air introduction tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Tanaka, Susumu Kutsuhara

Patent number: 8651101Abstract: A nebulizer kit includes a case body, a flow channel formation member that covers an opening in an upper area of the case body, and a cylindrical aerosol discharge port that passes through a portion of the top surface of the flow channel formation member located toward the outer edge thereof. The case body and/or the flow channel formation member includes a rotation mechanism that, when the case body has overturned and the aerosol discharge port has become positioned on the lower side in the vertical direction of the top surface of the flow channel formation member, causes the case body to rotate in a circumferential direction to cause the aerosol discharge port to move away from a lower side in the vertical direction. Even if the nebulizer kit has overturned, a liquid within the nebulizer kit is prevented from spilling.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Tanaka, Susumu Kutsuhara

Patent number: 8624585Abstract: A proximity sensor includes a circuit board provided with a processing circuit, a light emitting device mounted on the surface of the circuit board, and a light-transmitting cylindrical light guide surrounding the portion of the circuit board having the light emitting device mounted thereon and guiding the outgoing light from the light emitting device to be emitted to outside. The cylindrical light guide includes the first light emitting surface as the first light outgoing region causing the light emitted from the light emitting device to pass therethrough and directly emitting the light to outside, a reflective surface reflecting the light emitted from the light emitting device to guide the light through the cylindrical light guide in the circumferential direction, and the second light emitting surface as the second light outgoing region emitting, to outside, the light reflected on the reflective surface and propagated through the cylindrical light guide.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: OMRON CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Mizusaki, Daisuke Inoue, Susumu Kutsuhara
