  • Patent number: 7824020
    Abstract: A liquid feed tube for feeding a liquid from a liquid tank disposed on a liquid jetting device body side to a jetting head mounted on a reciprocating carriage, including: a long elastic member and a film member connected in an airtight state to the elastic member along a longitudinal direction of the elastic member; and a space part formed by the elastic member and the film member and used as a liquid feed passage, wherein the elastic member is made of a specific resin composition. Thus, the bending rigidity of the liquid feed tube can be lowered, and the resistance to moisture permeability and the gas barrier property thereof can be realized at low cost.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 13, 2005
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2010
    Assignees: Bridgestone Corporation, Seiko Epson Corporation
    Inventors: Youkou Saito, Tadashi Utsunomiya, Toshio Kumagai, Hitoshi Matsumoto, Masanori Takemura, Kazuyuki Saito, Yasushi Soya

  • Patent number: 6166470
    Abstract: A brushless DC motor, whose stator (10) is a combination of stator yokes (11, 16). a bobbin (14) on which a magnetic field coil (15) is wound and to which terminal pins are provided, and a base plate (20). The stator (10) is fixed to the base plate (20) by a protrusion (12c) provided on the bobbin (14) or by a flange (18a) formed on a bearing. The widths of magnetic poles (11a, 16a) of the stator, which are measured in the circumferential direction of the stator, are smaller than the width of one of the poles of a rotor magnet (5). Thereby, the position of a stable point is a maximum excitation torque position. Further, a magnetic pole sensing element (21) is provided at a place which is shifted in the circumferential direction from the middle position of one of the magnetic poles of the rotor magnet (5).
