  • Publication number: 20240106193
    Abstract: A light emitting component includes: a substrate; a plural light emitting elements that are provided on the substrate and respectively have light emission regions; and a plural thyristors that are turned on to cause the light emission regions of the respective light emitting elements to emit light, or that increase amounts of emitted light of the light emission regions, in which the light emitting elements absorb light emitted from a corresponding thyristor among the plural thyristors.

  • Publication number: 20240081308
    Abstract: A dual-bearing reel comprises a spool rotatably supported between a left side plate and a right side plate of a reel main body, a handle provided on one of the left and right side plates to rotationally drive the spool, and an adjustment dial provided on a side plate on the opposite side of the handle. The side plate on the opposite side of the handle rotatably supports the adjustment dial on substantially the same axis as a rotation axis of the spool, and comprises an opening that exposes an arc region above the supported adjustment dial, and a cover portion is formed on an upper surface side of the side plate on the opposite side of the handle, the cover portion covering an outer peripheral surface on a front side of the adjustment dial and exposing an outer peripheral surface on a rear side thereof.

  • Patent number: 11389166
    Abstract: The ligation device includes a tubular body having a tubular shape and including a hollow part into which a string-shaped body can be inserted. The tubular body includes a proximal opening and a distal opening at a proximal end part and a distal end part, respectively. The proximal opening and the distal opening communicate with each other via a lumen of the tubular body. The side of a first end part of the string-shaped body can be inserted into the hollow part. The tubular body includes, on the distal end part, a locking part capable of locking the side of a second end part of the string-shaped body, after the string-shaped body is wound around the target, in a state where the first end part side of the string-shaped body is inserted into the lumen.

  • Publication number: 20210161535
    Abstract: In a ligation device for performing ligation by inserting a string-shaped body wound around a target into a tubular body, an object is to provide a ligation device that does not require a special instrument during the insertion of the string-shaped body and offers excellent workability. A means for solving the problem is a ligation device 1 for ligating a target V. The ligation device 1 includes a tubular body 2 having a tubular shape and including a hollow part 5 into which a string-shaped body 20 can be inserted. The tubular body 2 includes a proximal opening and a distal opening at a proximal end part 3 and a distal end part 4, respectively. The proximal opening and the distal opening communicate with each other via a lumen 5 of the tubular body 2. The side of a first end part 21 of the string-shaped body 20 can be inserted into the hollow part 5.
