  • Publication number: 20220290710
    Abstract: To reduce the number of places where dimension control regarding an attachment position of a coupling portion to a structure is required. A first coupling portion includes a first pin receiving portion into which a coupling pin can be inserted, and a load transmitting portion integrally provided with the first pin receiving portion. A second coupling portion includes a second pin receiving portion into which the coupling pin can be inserted, and a load receiving portion integrally provided with the second pin receiving portion. The first pin receiving portion and the second pin receiving portion match with each other so as to detachably attach the coupling pin in a state where the load transmitting portion and the load receiving portion are in contact with each other.

  • Patent number: 10373768
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a high-strength electrode film for an EDLC, where scraps generated when producing the electrode film are reusable. The method for producing an electrode film for an electric double-layer capacitor includes a step of kneading a carbonaceous powder, a conductive assistant, and a fluororesin binder, and producing a shaped product from the obtained kneaded product, a step of pulverizing the shaped product to produce a modifying material having an average particle diameter of 5 to 100 ?m, and a step of kneading a carbonaceous powder, a conductive assistant, a fluororesin, and the modifying material in a ratio of 1 to 40% by weight of the modifying material with respect to 100% by weight in total of the carbonaceous powder, the conductive assistant, the fluororesin, and the modifying material, and rolling the obtained kneaded product to produce an electrode film for an electric double-layer capacitor.

  • Patent number: 9139404
    Abstract: Disclosed is a raisable-lowerable member which comprises a boom and a jib. The boom comprises a first supporting portion configured to rotatably support a jib foot when the jib is set in a protruding posture; and a second supporting portion configured to rotatably support a supportable portion of the jib when the jib is set in an enfolded posture. A position adjusting and holding unit of the jib is configured to couple, to the frame, a specific site of the second link in such a manner that a relative position of the second link with respect to the frame in a rotational direction of the second link is adjustably changed to allow the rotational axis of the second joint portion to become coincident with the rotational axis of the jib foot, and to hold the second link at the changed relative position.

  • Patent number: 4960337
    Abstract: A dot matrix printer having a platen, a carriage, and a print head mounted on the carriage. A paper guide is secured to the carriage. A ribbon mask made of a resilient plate is attached to the paper guide. A cantilevered resilient plate is formed in the ribbon mask so as to be abutted on a front end of the print head to form a path for a ribbon between the resilient plate and the print head.
