  • Patent number: 7318609
    Abstract: A chuck includes an annular ring portion, a first engaging portion which extends along a central axis of the annular ring portion and which engages with the first tube joint member, and a second engaging portion which extends from the annular ring portion along the central axis of the annular ring portion and which elastically engages with a second tube joint member. A-three-dimensionally shaped portion, which is an end of the second engaging portion, includes a pair of expanded portions on a metal plate. The annular ring portion is formed by rounding the metal plate with both ends, which are not fixed to one another so that both ends are displaceable circumferentially.

  • Patent number: 6908120
    Abstract: A tube joint includes a body into which a tube is inserted, a guide member which is arranged in the body, a chuck which engages with the outer circumferential surface of the tube to retain the tube, fastening pawls which protrude while being inclined by predetermined angles toward the inner circumference facing the tube on the chuck, a release bush which releases the tube from a fastened state, and a packing which is installed in the body. The packing surrounds the outer circumferential surface of the tube, and is displaceable in the axial direction of the body when a pressure fluid is supplied.

  • Patent number: 6039071
    Abstract: When a valve body of a pressure-reducing valve is displaced in the direction indicated by the arrow B, a seal pad of a valve seal mechanism on the valve body abuts against a ridge on a seat, which enters the seal pad to provide a seal therebetween. When the ridge enters the seal pad by a distance, abutment surfaces of holders on the seat are held against the seal pad, preventing the ridge from entering the seal pad beyond the distance. The distance by which the ridge enters the seal pad is thus made constant. The ridge is spaced from the abutment surfaces by a groove, which communicates with a primary port through grooves between the holders, keeping a constant valve sealing area. The pressure-reducing valve which incorporates the valve seal mechanism has a constant quality level.

  • Patent number: 6024117
    Abstract: A recess and another recess having an enlarged diameter with respect to the recess are defined in a main body, wherein a valve guide body is inserted into the recess. Projections of the valve guide body engage inside grooves defined in a wall portion constituting the recess, and second projections of a cover member engage with first projections formed on a wall constituting the other recess, stopping the cover member from falling out. A pressure of a pressurized fluid which is imposed on the valve guide body is supported by the cover member. As a result, there is no concern of damage to the valve guide body, and moreover, there is no concern of unexpected dislocation of the valve guide body.

  • Patent number: 5452741
    Abstract: A pressure reducing valve includes a first screw member on which a nut for adjusting the spring force of a pressure regulating spring travels, and a second screw member screwed into the first screw member and provided with a stopper for limiting the travel range of the nut at the tip. The second screw member can be displaced with respect to the first screw member along its length, so that the limiting range of the stopper against the travelling nut is adjustable.
