  • Patent number: 7794314
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent vibration of a sliding door within a guide groove through a fundamental review of the structures adopted in sliding door devices in the related art having a sliding door made to move along a direction intersecting an air flow path to control the flow rate or direction of air within the air flow path. The present invention is characterized in that a tension-applying means is disposed at a sliding unit of a sliding door, which is inserted at a guide groove formed on the inside of an air-conditioner case to apply tension between the sliding unit and the guide groove.

  • Patent number: 6024536
    Abstract: The object of the invention is to prevent the quantity of airflow by a fan from decreasing in dependence on the distance between the fan and obstacles such as an engine in a device for introducing and discharging cooling air having a shroud with a high covering rate. In the device for introducing and discharging cooling air having the shroud with the high covering rate, an airflow direction changing member is provided downstream of the fan, and each fixed blade of the member has a shift angle in the radial direction and an attack angle in a rotation direction of the fan, so that the air tends to be discharged outward in the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 5605191
    Abstract: An end plate of a tank whose inside is partitioned by a partition has a plurality of insertion holes receiving connecting portions of tube elements. In the end plate, a first projection is distended and formed so as to run through narrow middle portions of the insertion holes, and a fit groove for the partition is formed on the inside of the first projection. Even when a core of the heat exchanger is put sideways on a furnace in a heat brazing method, brazing filler material can easily flow into the gaps between the insertion holes and the tube elements inserted into the insertion holes. As a result, good brazing can be performed.
