  • Patent number: 7997939
    Abstract: A plug includes a plug housing and a metal terminal group. The metal terminal group includes a mating electrode group on the first end side thereof and a connection electrode group on the second end side, the mating electrode group including mating electrode sections that are disposed with an insulating resin interposed therebetween and are to be in contact with the contacts of a mating jack, the connection electrode group including connection electrode sections that are disposed with an insulating resin interposed therebetween and are connected to the electrodes of a connection member. The mating electrode sections are disposed coaxially with an axis P of the plug, and at least two of the connection electrode sections are disposed around the axis P so as to surround the axis P side by side.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20020010028
    Abstract: A torsional vibration damper is provided which comprises an input element, an output element, a damper hub connected to the output element for rotation therewith and having a plurality of circumferentially spaced, radial hub arms, a drive plate assembly connected to the input element for rotation therewith and having an annular chamber and a plurality of circumferentially equally spaced retaining sections which are formed by narrowed parts of the annular chamber, a plurality of compression springs disposed in the annular chamber and extending between the retaining sections and the hub arms, and a ring member rotatable relative to the input member and output member, disposed within the annular chamber and radially outside the compression springs and having an inner circumferential surface held in contact with radially outer boundaries of the compression springs.

  • Patent number: 5772168
    Abstract: A fixing bracket for a pressurized fluid buffer device such as a shock absorber or the like is formed as a single piece U-shaped bracket having a circular body portion for surrounding an outer cylinder of the shock absorber and opposed mounting flange portions for attachment to a vehicular chassis. At a location axially outward of the location of bolt holes for attaching the fixing bracket, opposes pairs of projected tooth portions are provided oriented toward each other to contact an exposed portion of the outer cylinder. According to this structure, during vehicle bouncing, for examples the tooth portions are urged to wedge, or bite into the outer cylinder for counteracting forces in a separation direction of the flange portions. Thus, strength is improved while installation processing is reduced. Further, according to this arrangement both manufacturing and installation costs may be significantly reduced while structural features and design flexibility are improved.
