Patent number: 11892048Abstract: A spring steel wire includes a main body made of a steel and having a line shape, and an oxidized layer covering an outer peripheral surface of the main body. The steel constituting the main body contains not less than 0.5 mass % and not more than 0.7 mass % C, not less than 1 mass % and not more than 2.5 mass % Si, not less than 0.2 mass % and not more than 1 mass % Mn, and not less than 0.5 mass % and not more than 2 mass % Cr, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The steel constituting the main body has a pearlite structure. The oxidized layer has a thickness of not less than 2 ?m and not more than 5 ?m. The oxidized layer contains not less than 60 mass % Fe3O4.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2020Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiromu Izumida, Yoshiki Natsumeda, Taichi Okada

Patent number: 11339855Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a tensioner that has a reduced number of components and weight, and is easy to assemble. The tensioner has a base member loosely fitted into an open rear end of a cylindrical plunger with a closed front end against the resiliency of a biasing means accommodated inside the plunger. The tensioner includes a plunger stopper mechanism configured such that an engaging part formed on the base member detachably engages an engaging groove provided on an inner circumferential surface of the plunger directly or via another member.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2019Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: TSUBAKIMOTO CHAIN CO.Inventors: Taichi Okada, Masanori Watanabe

Patent number: 11242916Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a tensioner that has a reduced number of components and lighter weight and is easy to assemble. The tensioner according to the present invention is configured such that a base member is detachably and mechanically joined to a rear end opening of a cylindrical plunger with a closed front end against the resilience of biasing means that is accommodated inside the plunger such as to be freely extend and contract. The joint between the plunger and the base member is a mechanical connection that is one of a thread engagement, a press-fit, and a pin connection.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: TSUBAKIMOTO CHAIN CO.Inventors: Taichi Okada, Masanori Watanabe

Patent number: 9588424Abstract: A photosensitive resin composition is prepared by dispersing at least one of a hydrophobic polymer and a mixture of an oil-soluble photopolymerization initiator and a water-insoluble or sparingly water-soluble compound having at least one photoactive, ethylenically unsaturated group in an aqueous solution that contains both a water-soluble polymer and a diazo resin is obtained by condensing a water-soluble salt of an optionally substituted 4-diazodiphenylamine with formaldehyde in the presence of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. This photosensitive resin composition gives a photosensitive film having excellent stability over time and a wide exposure latitude. By adding a specific fluorine compound to the photosensitive resin composition, a screen plate has an excellent discharge performance.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: SUNTYPE CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshio Umeda, Kenji Ota, Yuichi Ono, Taichi Okada, Yukina Kuwahara, Takafumi Somei, Setsuka Nakajima, Masataka Miyazaki, Toru Mori, Suguru Komatsu, Michihiro Iljima
