  • Patent number: 8167339
    Abstract: There is provided a resin tube-equipped quick connector capable of connecting a fuel-transporting resin tube to a mating pipe without hindrance even if the resin tube has a small diameter. The quick connector is constructed such that it includes a connector body having a press-fitting portion, and a retainer. On the other hand, a press-fit undergoing portion of the resin tube into which the press-fitting portion is to be press-fitted is beforehand expanded in tube diameter prior to the press-fitting, and the press-fitting portion is press-fitted into the expanded press-fit undergoing portion in a withdrawal-preventing condition to provide the quick connector equipped with the resin tube.

  • Patent number: 7624993
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel dual-membered suctional gasket which has a reliable function to fit and fix the gasket to an object to be sealed, and also provides an effective suction effect and air venting function. For that purpose, the gasket which has a function to prevent fluid from leaking when compressed, comprises an inner sealing member 1 and outer sealing member 2 arranged on a surface perpendicular to a compressing direction; and a plurality of connecting members 3 for connecting and fixing the inner sealing member 1 and the outer sealing member 2 together. Suction cup structures are formed, when a proper amount of air closed between the inner sealing member and the outer sealing member is vented from the inner sealing member, the outer sealing member or the both sealing members by compressing the dual-membered gasket.

  • Patent number: 7040294
    Abstract: To manufacture fuel piping for connecting a fuel tank and a drive unit including an engine using a resin material at a low cost and to cause the fuel piping to suitably follow the movement of the fuel tank and the drive unit when the vehicle is being operated. A fuel piping includes connectors at both ends of a pipe member formed of resin material into a thin tubular shape for connecting between a fuel tank and a fuel injection apparatus for supplying fuel to an engine of a two-wheel vehicle or the like via the connectors. One or more bent portions are formed at the midsection of the pipe member of the fuel piping.

  • Patent number: 6254277
    Abstract: There is provided a roller bearing in which contact stress between a roller and a raceway is uniformized by optimizing a configuration of a clearance between the roller and the raceway. A configuration of an outer circumferential surface (8) of a tapered roller (6) of a tapered roller bearing (1) is defined so that a clearance of Y(x)=kYp(x), which results from multiplying an equation Yp(x) for uniformizing contact stress between infinite-width plate and tapered roller by a positive number k=1.5-10, is formed between the raceway surface (4, 5) and the outer circumferential surface (8) of the tapered roller (6). The tapered roller (6) relaxes concentration of contact stresses, improving the durability.
