Abstract: The present invention controls liquid shaking during transportation while maintaining high-precision with respect to the stopping position of a specimen at the time of device start-up.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses one example of a one-way coupling that eliminates the need for a component corresponding to a guide piece. The one-way coupling of the present discloser includes an input shaft and an output shaft, and is configured to transmit a drive force from the input shaft to the output shaft, and inhibit the drive force inputted to the output shaft from being transmitted to the input shaft. The one-way coupling includes: a transmitter; an immovable ring; a pressure-contact cam; a first wedge member displaceable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and receiving a pressing force from the pressure-contact cam when the drive force is inputted to the input shaft, and thereby the first wedge member is displaced to the locked position; and a first holder holding an arrangement of the first wedge member when the drive force is inputted to the output shaft.

Abstract: A unidirectional joint includes a wedge member having a pressure contact portion that comes in pressure contact with an inner circumferential surface of an immovable ring. The wedge member includes a first follower displacing the wedge member to an unlocked position by receiving a pressing force from a release cam when a driving force is input to an input side protrusion and a second follower displacing the wedge member to a locked position by receiving a pressing force from a pressure cam when a driving force is input to an output side rotating part.

Abstract: A lifter device includes a pinion gear and a rotation control device that is configured to control rotation of the pinion gear. The rotation control device includes a rotation shaft, a support member, a rotation driving mechanism, and a lock mechanism. The rotation drive mechanism includes a feed gear, and a plurality of feed pawls. The lock mechanism is configured to release locking of the rotation shaft until any one of the feed pawls meshes with the feed gear when an operation handle is operated. A plurality of the feed pawls are provided with respect to either operation direction on a seat lifting side or lowering side of the operation handle, and one of the feed pawls meshes with the feed gear when at least one of the others of the feed pawls does not mesh with the gear.

Abstract: A lifter device includes: an output shaft; a support member supporting the output shaft; an input member coupled to an operation handle; a feed portion transmitting forward and reverse rotation of the input member to the output shaft; a lock portion locking the rotation of the output shaft; and a friction generating portion applying a frictional force to the rotation of the output shaft. A rotating cam of the friction generating portion is a switching structure of switching to: a friction-suppression state when the operation handle is in a neutral position and when the operation handle is turned from the neutral position in a direction of raising the seat; and a friction-on state when the operation handle is turned from the neutral position in a direction of lowering the seat.

Abstract: Pawls in a lifter device, having: outer teeth that are rotatably supported by shafts for in lock plates and are meshed with inner teeth of a base; and pins that are provided in an intermediate section in the radial direction, between the shaft center of the shafts and the teeth tips of the inner teeth, and are pressed in the rotation direction by a rotation transmittance plate during a release operation. The pins have a protruding shape that protrudes from the pawls in the thrust direction.

Abstract: A rotary plate provided to a lifter device is equipped with a wall which presses engaging ends of a pole toward the direction that brings said ends into abutment with a tooth surface of an inner tooth. A to-be-pressed surface of the pole has a shape that lies along a circular arc centered at an outline shape center point which is at a location shifted from a fluctuation center of the pole. The outline shape center point is on a normal line of the to-be-pressed surface at a contact point, and is situated on a side opposite to the direction in which the pole is fluctuated to be locked with respect to a straight line connecting between the contact point and the fluctuation center.
