Patent number: 7425672Abstract: An exterior structure for a keyboard instrument, which is capable of dramatically increasing the variation of producible types of keyboard instruments while suppressing the cost of molds. A lower case includes a front-side lower case LCf and a rear-side lower case LCr disposed rearward of the front-side lower case LCf in a side-by-side fashion. An upper case UC is disposed above the lower case. The front-side lower case LCf is fastened to the upper case UC, and the rear-side lower case LCr is fastened to the upper case UC, whereby the lower case is secured to the upper case UC.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2005Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventors: Daisuke Haba, Yuji Sakurai, Masao Sato, Toshiyuki Aiba

Publication number: 20070173398Abstract: [OBJECTS] To provide an adsorbent with improved adsorbing capacity, easiness to shaping and appearance, by ordinary extrusion, and to provide a method of and an apparatus for making the adsorbent. [MEANS FOR ACHIEVEMENT] Outlet of an extruder (2) fits on a mold (3) having plural pins (31) of the same cross section as fluid channels (11). A narrow interstice (32) intervenes between the adjacent pins fixed upright on a base plate (33). A detour (35) conducting a fluidic raw material mixture (13) is defined inside a mantle (34) and around the base plate. The mixture composed of a carbonaceous powder and an inorganic powder with or without a binder and water to knead them is forced into the interstices so as to form an uncured product (14). Vestiges of the pins (31) remain as fluid channels (11) each surrounded by peripheral walls (12), and the uncured product is dried and then possibly sintered to render porous and rigid the peripheral walls thus congregated to give a solid mass.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2004Publication date: July 26, 2007Inventor: Toshiyuki Aiba

Patent number: 7238875Abstract: There is provided an electronic musical instrument which is capable of muting by a simple operation. A plurality of fret operating elements are provided on a fingerboard, for determining the pitch. Six stringed operating elements for determining sounding timing are provided on a string input section of the body of the electronic musical instrument. A tone generator and a sound system generate musical tones according to operations of the fret operating elements and the stringed operating elements. A mute fingerboard larger in transverse size than the transverse region over which the six stringed operating elements are arranged is disposed on an operating element holder protecting section engaged with latches of the operating elements. The mute fingerboard is located in the vicinity of operated ends of the stringed operating elements within the range where the stringed operating elements can be operated, and is exposed on a surface of the body.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2004Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventor: Toshiyuki Aiba
