Patent number: 7145422Abstract: A direct current relay includes a plurality of contact pairs, and a plurality of magnets (5). Each of the plurality of contact pairs is configured having contacts (21, 22, 31) with contact regions (21a, 22a, 31a) disposed to allow opening and closure with respect to each other. The plurality of contact pairs are disposed such that the plurality of magnets (5) are disposed on one straight line, and the contact pairs are located between the magnets (5) on a line identical to the straight line. Each of the plurality of magnets (5) is provided to distort an arc generated between contacts (21, 22, 23, 31) on an occasion of relay cut off in a direction crossing the straight line. Even if a backward current flows, arcs will not interfere with each other, allowing extinguishing in a short time.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2004Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Imanishi, Akinobu Yoshimura, Takeshi Ariyoshi, Tamio Tsurita, Yasuhiko Nishi

Patent number: 4545801Abstract: A device is disclosed for supplying a glass raw material gas in the form of the mixed gas consisting of the glass raw material gas and the carrier gas to a vapor deposition device for producing a preform of an optical fiber, the supply device including a secondary raw material container having a pressurizable interior and provided adjacent to a main raw material container. The bottoms, or areas near the bottoms, of the two containers are interconnected via a pipe including at a mid portion thereof a switching valve and a device for adjusting the flow rate of the raw material liquid between the two containers. Liquid level detectors are provided in one or both containers to maintain the constant volume of the liquid raw material so as to provide a constant state inside the main raw material container. The operation of this device can easily be entirely automated.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1984Date of Patent: October 8, 1985Assignees: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Nippon Telegraph & Telephone Public CorporationInventors: Tetsuo Miyajiri, Toshimi Habasaki, Hiroshi Yokota, Tamio Tsurita, Motohiro Nakahara
