  • Patent number: 11345541
    Abstract: A control unit that controls a transport apparatus executes selection control to select one accommodation portion as a selected accommodation portion, movement control to control the transport apparatus so as to move a transport support portion to a corresponding position, determination control to determine whether or not a detection target portion is detected by a detecting portion, transfer control to control the transport apparatus so as to transfer an article from the transport support portion to an accommodation support member, and update setting control to set the selected accommodation portion and related accommodation portions as prohibited accommodation portions if it is determined, in the determination control, that the detection target portion is not detected, and after the update setting control, the control unit again executes the selection control to newly select a selected accommodation portion, and executes the movement control so as to move the transport support portion to a corresponding pos

  • Patent number: 9671568
    Abstract: An optical connector plug with a shutter to be fitted to an optical connector adapter includes: a plug frame configured to hold a ferrule; a square cylindrical front housing including a shutter that opens and closes with a movement of the ferrule; a locking housing fixedly and integrally connected to the plug frame and configured to be fitted into and be locked with the optical connector adapter; and a spring that biases the front housing forward. The plug frame is moved forward by a rearward movement of the front housing, a front opening edge portion of the plug frame expands a shutter into a straight shape, and the shutter includes slits straddling over a boundary between a flat portion and a curved portion when light is blocked, and a protrusion formed by a center portion being deformed by the expanded shutter when being fitted is cancelled.

  • Patent number: 9195013
    Abstract: Disclosed an optical connector plug to be fitted into a LC type adapter having a wide width opening and a narrow width opening. The optical connector plug includes a square cylindrical front housing; a plug frame for retaining a ferrule and slidable in the front housing, a locking housing connected to the plug frame and fitted in and locked with the LC type adapter. The guide portion on an upper part of the front housing has side wall surfaces coming in sliding contact with the opening having a narrow width at the upper part of the adapter and locking projections on the sidewall surfaces. The locking projections abut against an edge portion of an opening of the adapter when the locking housing is fitted into the adapter, so that the front housing is moved rearward, and a distal end portion of the ferrule projects outward from the opening.

  • Patent number: 8011834
    Abstract: An optical connector plug includes an approximately square cylindrical rear cover of an insulating member fitted over an outer surface of a stop ring, and a cylindrical front cover which is urged frontward by an elastic member and is slidable back and forth at an outer surface of a plug frame. The front cover has a flexible plate-like shutter on an inner wall, which blocks the tip of a ferrule. The shutter has an upright curved portion formed by curving a tip side in an arc shape. When the front cover moves backward, the curved portion of the shutter is pressed against a tip of the plug frame to become flat and is pressed against the inner wall of the front cover to be retained in a plate form, thereby releasing a light-shielding state of the optical fiber.
