  • Publication number: 20240083482
    Abstract: Provided is a shopping cart capable of simplifying equipment of a storage area of the shopping cart. A shopping cart allowed to be nested in a front-rear direction, including: a cart body; a battery configured to supply power to an electronic device attached to the cart body and displayed commodity information read by a reading device; a power receiving portion provided on a front side of the cart body and configured to be electrically connectable to an external power supply; and a power transmitting portion provided on a rear surface side of the power receiving portion and configured to supply power to a power receiving portion of another shopping cart nested in the shopping cart. Each of the power receiving portion and the power transmitting portion is provided with a magnet configured for holding a relative position.

  • Publication number: 20220407377
    Abstract: A cooling system is provided. Coil ends protrude outward from a first end of a stator core in a direction along a central axis. An imaginary straight line is orthogonal to both of a central axis of a core body and an axis extending in an up-down direction. Half the coil ends above the imaginary straight line are in a first portion. Each of the segment coils in the first portion includes an outer peripheral surface that faces in a direction opposite from the central axis. The outer peripheral surface of each of the segment coils includes a twisted surface. The direction in which the twisted surface faces becomes closer to the direction facing the stator core as the twisted surface extends toward the first end of the stator core.

  • Patent number: 9052354
    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor includes: a magnetic thin film; a feeder comprising an input and output terminals configured to supply element current to the magnetic thin film; and a detector configured to detect a voltage between ends of the magnetic thin film in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the element current. The magnetic thin film is Rained symmetric about the direction of the element current.

  • Patent number: 5151671
    Abstract: A circuit breaker includes a compressive turning spring hung between a movable contact arm pivoted at an end to a handle rotatably mounted to a first reference position and a cradle pivotably mounted to a second reference position and disengageably locked to an abnormal current detection and trip mechanism. Under normal operation of the breaker, the turning spring exerts a contact pressure between movable and fixed contacts. Upon detection of an abnormal current, the turning spring is caused to turn so as to open the contacts. With this arrangement, the dispositions of constituent elements and their interlocking assembly can be simplified.
