  • Patent number: 11634842
    Abstract: An object is to solve problems associated with a stretchable wire member that includes, for example, a garment with stretchable wires formed thereon, that is, to solve the problems of wrinkles and undulations that often occur after the garment is stretched. A stretchable wire member includes a fabric; a base layer disposed on a surface of the fabric; a conductive layer disposed in part of the fabric, the conductive layer being on a surface of the base layer; and a protective layer covering the conductive layer. In the stretchable wire member, an elastic modulus E?3 of a multilayer body portion including the fabric, the base layer, and the protective layer ranges from 1 MPa to 6 MPa.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11596061
    Abstract: In a stretchable wiring member having a relatively hard portion, such as a contact point, there is provided a solution to malfunction of the stretchable wiring member caused by stress generated at a boundary between the hard portion and a flexible portion. A stretchable wiring member includes a flexible substrate having stretchability, a stretchable wiring line disposed along the flexible substrate and configured to be stretched in association with stretching deformation of the flexible substrate, and a hard member that is harder than the flexible substrate. The flexible substrate has an extension layer portion interposed between the hard member and the stretchable wiring line.

  • Patent number: 11044810
    Abstract: A stretchable wire member includes a base body in which a fixed wire is formed on a hard base material, and a stretching body in which a flexible wire is formed at a flexible base material. In the stretchable wire member in which the base body and the stretching body are fixed and connected to each other, the hard base material includes a projecting part that reduces concentration of stress that is generated at a boundary between the base body and the stretching body, and an upper surface and a lower surface of the projecting part and an upper surface and a lower surface of a recessed part surrounded by the projecting part are covered by a base-body-side flexible base material extending from the stretching body.

  • Patent number: 10006460
    Abstract: A compressor includes a suction hole provided in a cylinder. The suction hole includes a plurality of portions being different in diameter and disposed from an outer circumferential side toward an inner circumferential side of the cylinder. The plurality of portions are reduced more in diameter toward the inner circumferential side of the cylinder. A central axis of an outer circumferential side suction hole of the plurality of portions intersects a central axis of the cylinder. A central axis of an inner circumferential side suction hole of the plurality of portions is parallel to the central axis of an outermost circumferential side portion and decentered from the central axis in an opposite direction to a direction of a spring hole.
