  • Patent number: 11554692
    Abstract: A seat slide device includes a reinforcing member attached to a rear end part of an upper rail. The reinforcing member is higher in rigidity than the upper rail. The reinforcing member includes a reinforcing member body having a U-shaped cross section having a lower opening, and including a reinforcing member top wall; a pair of reinforcing member lateral walls; and a pair of reinforcing member bent wall parts each being bent outwardly from a lower end of a corresponding one of the reinforcing member lateral walls in a lateral direction of the reinforcing member, and extending upwardly between a corresponding lower rail outside lateral wall and a corresponding lower rail inside lateral wall.

  • Patent number: 11186265
    Abstract: This device for collecting and supplying brake fluid has a gas-liquid separation tank divided into a lower chamber and an upper chamber with a partition wall interposed therebetween. Connected to the gas-liquid separation tank are: a collection line for collecting brake fluid from the brake system of a vehicle in the gas-liquid separation tank; a circulation line for extraction of brake fluid from the lower chamber and the return thereof to the lower chamber; and a replenishment line for replenishing the gas-liquid separation tank with fresh brake fluid. Air intake for the brake system is performed via a main intake line, and air intake for the gas-liquid separation tank is performed via an auxiliary intake line. Both the main intake line and auxiliary intake line are connected to an auxiliary tank.

  • Patent number: 5826805
    Abstract: An electrostatic coating machine comprising at least two paint tanks (13A, 13B) for pushing out a paint by a pressure of a hydraulic fluid which one is attached to a rotary base (14) while being electrically insulated from each other, and can be positioned to a coating position opposed to the machine body (3) by the rotation of the rotary base (14) such that while one paint tank is at the coating position, the other paint tank is engaged with a paint charging attachment (22) that is disposed being electrically insulated from the machine body (3) and has a paint supply port (Ps) for supplying a cleaning fluid and a paint of a next color and a drain recovery port (Dr) for recovering drains. Cleaning/paint charging time can be shortened to improve operation efficiency and insulation countermeasure for the paint supply system can be saved.

  • Patent number: 5615816
    Abstract: Apparatus for dispensing attachments from continuously connected ladder stock of the type comprising a pair of plastic side members coupled together by a plurality of plastic cross links includes a mount, a support movably mounted on the mount, and a pair of carrier blocks mounted on the support. A needle block is mounted on each carrier block and a hollow, slotted needle is mounted on each needle block. A feed mechanism including a pair of feed wheels, is mounted on said support for advancing the ladder stock into the hollow slotted needles and a pair of feed tracks, one for each hollow slotted needle, are provided through which the ladder stock passes from the feed wheels into the pair of hollow slotted needles. A pair of knifes are provided for severing an attachment from the ladder stock, and a pair of ejector rods are provided for ejecting the severed attachment through the hollow slotted needles.

  • Patent number: 5433366
    Abstract: A device for dispensing plastic attachments of the type which are formed as part of a roll of continuously connected ladder stock. In one embodiment, the device includes a pair of hollow slotted needles each having a tip, a rear end and a longitudinal axis. A feed wheel, placed proximate to the rear ends of the pair of needles, is used to feed individual attachments of a roll of ladder stock into the pair of needles through their respective rear ends at angles relative to the longitudinal axes thereof. Once inserted into the needles, an attachment is severed from the remainder of the ladder stock by a knife and is then expelled from the needles by a pair of ejector rods movable along the longitudinal axes of the pair of needles. Because attachments are fed into the pair of needles at angles relative to their longitudinal axes, no shuttling of the needles between an attachment feeding position and an attachment ejecting position is required.

  • Patent number: 5190588
    Abstract: An electrostatic coating facility for an electroconductive coating material comprising a coating machine disposed in a coating zone while being grounded to the earth, an insulated conveyer disposed in the coating zone for conveying an object to be coated in an electrically insulated state and applying a high voltage to the object, an entering conveyer disposed for carrying the object into the coating zone, a delivery conveyer for carrying the coated object out of the coating zone, and a relay transfer device interposed between the insulated conveyer 1 and the entering conveyer or the delivery conveyer for transferring the object in an electrically insulated state while keeping a required insulation distance between each of them. Aqueous coating material free from public pollution can be used with no troubles for taking insulative measures on the side of the coating machine and without worry of spark discharge.
