  • Publication number: 20220319751
    Abstract: The solenoid coil includes a coil having a first end surface and a second end surface on its both ends in an axial direction, a member which is in contact with the first end surface, and has a groove through which the wire material of the coil passes, and an insulating resin formed to coat at least an outer circumferential surface and the second end surface of the coil. The resin with a substantially U-shaped section is continuously coated on at least a part of an inner circumferential surface of the coil via an area from the outer circumferential surface to the second end surface.

  • Patent number: 10107349
    Abstract: A baffle plate (41, partition member) is manufactured by being integrally formed of a single material including flexible or pliable NBR (nitrile rubber), and a projection (51) formed on an abutment surface (42B) of the baffle plate (41) is fitted into a recess (52) in a reduced-diameter portion (36) of an intermediate tube (20). Thus, when the intermediate tube (20) fitted with the baffle plate (41) is assembled into an outer tube, the sheet-shaped baffle plate (41) can be prevented from rotating about a connecting pipe (23), and it is possible to improve the productivity and assembleability of the shock absorber.

  • Patent number: 9651110
    Abstract: A stopper mechanism includes a second cylinder disposed at an end in a first cylinder, a second piston disposed so as to be able to move according to a movement of a piston rod to be fitted into the second cylinder, and an annular piston ring having ends in a circumferential direction by being partially cut off. A circumferential groove is formed on an outer circumferential of the second piston. The circumferential groove includes a bottom surface, a one-side end surface, and an opposite-side end surface. The piston ring is axially movably disposed in the circumferential groove. The piston ring includes axial abutment portions, and radial abutment portions at the both ends of the piston ring. When the piston ring abuts against the one-side end surface of the circumferential groove, a first passage is forced between the one-side end surface and an end surface of the piston ring.

  • Publication number: 20150090548
    Abstract: A lock piston (13) of a locking mechanism (11) includes a flow path limiting-opening mechanism (14) provided on an outer peripheral side of a piston rod (7), an annular stopper (19) for supporting the flow path limiting-opening mechanism (14) from a piston (6) side, and a restriction ring (20) for restricting a fitting cylindrical body (15) of the flow path limiting-opening mechanism (14) from moving to a rod guide (9) side, the restriction ring (20) being fitted to a second annular groove (7B) of the piston rod (7). The restriction ring (20) is inserted along an outer peripheral side of the piston rod (7) from an upper end side of the piston rod (7), and fitted and fixed into the second annular groove (7B).

  • Publication number: 20120193845
    Abstract: A compressor has a brush motor having a coil and brushes, a motor housing accommodating the brush motor, and a reciprocating compressor body in which a crank is rotationally driven by the brush motor to reciprocate a piston in a cylinder, thereby compressing a gas sucked in from a suction port and discharging the compressed gas from a delivery port. The compressor has a gas intake flow path configured such that the gas cools the brushes in the motor housing before cooling the coil and flowing to the suction port.
