Patent number: 9810371Abstract: In an arm support apparatus, an weight attachment is provided for at least one specified link in links of a support member supporting a mount to be movable based on rotation of at least one of the links around a corresponding at least one of the joints. The at least one specified link is associated with at least one specified degree of freedom. The weight attachment is configured such that one or more weight members are attachable thereto.

Patent number: 9708167Abstract: An industrial vehicle includes a hydraulic brake device, a hydraulic load handling device, a first hydraulic circuit, a second hydraulic circuit, a pressure compensating circuit, and a controller. The controller sets an electromagnetic valve to a first position during operation of the load handling device. The controller sets the electromagnetic valve to a second position and controls an electric motor to drive a hydraulic pump when determining that pressure needs to be accumulated in a hydraulic accumulator based on a detection result of a detector. When the electromagnetic valve is at the second position, hydraulic pressure generated by driving the hydraulic pump is applied to a pressure compensating valve and produces a force acting in a direction to disconnect the hydraulic pump and an oil tank from each other, so that hydraulic pressure is generated in a first oil passage to be accumulated in the hydraulic accumulator.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2016Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKI, NISHINA INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Junichi Morita, Tetsuya Goto, Tsuyoshi Kanazawa, Yukinori Takeda

Publication number: 20170130742Abstract: When an engine stall is likely to occur, the pressure of the back pressure chamber of a relief pressure valve is released to adjust the relief pressure of the relief pressure valve. This actuates a pressure compensating circuit to release the pressure in a control circuit to an oil tank. Thus, a rapid increase of the pressure due to a cargo handling operation is restricted, and an engine stall due to insufficient torque of the engine is avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2016Publication date: May 11, 2017Applicants: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKI, NISHINA INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Tetsuya GOTO, Kenichi HAGINO, Yasushi KUWANO, Akihito NIBE, Shigeto NAKAJIMA, Satoshi TAKANO

Patent number: 9615988Abstract: In arm support apparatus, a longitudinal mount has opposing first and second ends. An elbow locator is provided on the first end of the mount. The elbow locator locates an operator's elbow when the operator's forearm is mounted on the mount. A rotary joint of a multijoint arm has a rotary axis having a vertical component. The mount is rotatably joined to the rotary joint. While the forearm is mounted on the mount so that the elbow of the operator's arm is located by the elbow locator, the rotary axis is located with a distance with respect to the elbow to enable both the first and second ends of the mount to swing about the rotary axis. The distance is set to be equal to or longer than 50 mm.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignees: DENSO CORPORATION, SHINSHU UNIVERSITY, TOKYO WOMEN'S MEDICAL UNIVERSITYInventors: Satoru Nakamura, Minoru Takahashi, Hideki Okuda, Kazuhiro Hongo, Tetsuya Goto, Yosuke Hara, Jun Okamoto

Patent number: 9617620Abstract: An alumina- or magnesia-reducing process in which a greenhouse gas or substance harmful to the human body is not emitted, which can achieve improved energy efficiency in comparison with the Hall-Heroult or Pidgeon methods. The process includes: introducing an alumina or magnesia powder with a carrier gas to the upstream side of a throat provided on a reducing unit; pressure-transferring the powder and carrier gas to the throat by an operative gas introduced to the upstream side of the throat; irradiating the throat with a laser beam to convert the alumina or magnesia into a plasma state and dissociate the alumina or magnesia thermally; jetting the thermally dissociated product through a nozzle provided on the downstream side of the throat at a supersonic speed to form a frozen flow; and isolating aluminum or magnesium. Hydrogen may be added to the operative gas to accelerate the reduction of alumina or magnesia.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Inventors: Yoshihiro Arakawa, Masakatsu Nakano, Makoto Matsui, Tetsuya Goto

Patent number: 9469515Abstract: An outlet port of a hydraulic pump/motor and a bottom chamber of a lift cylinder are connected to each other by a hydraulic fluid passage. A hydraulic fluid passage that is connected to a hydraulic fluid tank is formed to branch off the hydraulic fluid passage. A flow control valve controls the hydraulic fluid delivered from the lift cylinder when the fork is lowered, thereby regulating the flow rate of hydraulic fluid supplied to the hydraulic pump/motor and the flow rate of hydraulic fluid supplied to the hydraulic fluid tank. If regenerative operation can be performed, the flow control valve is closed and hydraulic fluid is delivered to the hydraulic pump/motor. If regenerative operation cannot be performed, the flow control valve is opened and hydraulic fluid is delivered to the hydraulic fluid tank. In either case, the fork can be lowered at an instructed speed.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKIInventors: Tsutomu Matsuo, Hirohiko Ishikawa, Yuki Ueda, Tetsuya Goto, Junichi Morita
