Patent number: 11493038Abstract: According to one embodiment, a crank portion is formed from a crank piece, an element separate from a shaft portion. The crank piece includes a fitting hole in which the shaft portion is fit by predetermined “interference” and a slit-like slot with one end opened in an inner circumferential surface of the fitting hole, and an other end closed inside the crank piece. The fitting hole is deformed so as to expand its diameter when expanding a width of the slot. The shaft portion is fit in the fitting hole of the crank piece by the predetermined “interference” when inserted in the deformed fitting hole and the fitting hole restores an original form while the shaft portion is in the fitting hole.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Kabushiki Kaislia ToshibaInventors: Kosuke Adachi, Kuniaki Yamamoto, Takayuki Masunaga, Shogo Shida

Patent number: 11442384Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wiring structure includes a substrate, a first conductor, second conductors, a first trace, second traces, heat-generating elements, and a first protruding conductor. The second conductors are spaced apart from the first conductor in a second direction crossing a first direction and are mutually juxtaposed with spacing in the first direction. The heat-generating elements are mutually juxtaposed in the first direction and connected to the respective second conductors and the first conductor. The first protruding conductor protrudes from either of the first conductor and one of the second conductors and is connected to a first one of the heat-generating elements.
