Publication number: 20230416013Abstract: A bolt escapement device includes holding rails, a blade disposed downstream of the holding rails, and a chute disposed downstream of the blade. The blade includes: a blade body configured to reciprocate in a direction intersecting the holding rails to pass through a first position and a second position; a bolt passageway extending in the blade body in a direction acute to a moving direction of the blade body; and a closure portion provided on a side surface of the blade body. At least one of the holding rails and the chute is provided with bolt guides. When the blade body moves from the first position to the second position, a corner portion of the bolt passageway that is closer to the holding rails is inserted between a bolt having entered the bolt passageway and a subsequent bolt and the rail gap is closed by the closure portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2021Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: DENGENSHA TOA CO., LTD.Inventor: YOSHIHIRO ARAI

Patent number: 9310596Abstract: A compound microscope device allows simultaneous observation of one specimen by a transmission electron microscope and an optical microscope. The compound microscope device 1 of the present invention has a transmission electron microscope 2 and an optical microscope 4. A specimen 10 and a reflection mirror 41 are disposed on an electron optical axis C of an electron ray. The reflection mirror 41 is inclined from the electron optical axis C toward the optical object lens 43 and the specimen 10. Light from the specimen 10 (fluorescent light, reflection light, and the like) is reflected by the reflection mirror 41 and enters into the optical object lens 43. The electron ray from the electron microscope 2 passes through a mounting center hole 42 of the reflection mirror 41. This makes it possible to observe one specimen simultaneously by the electron microscope 2 and the optical microscope 4.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignees: INTER-UNIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE CORPORATION NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF NATURAL SCIENCES, JEOL LTD.Inventors: Kuniaki Nagayama, Yoshihiro Arai, Hirofumi Iijima, Susumu Terakawa

Patent number: 8905419Abstract: A rear structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle for preventing rainwater or the like splashed by a rear wheel from entering a fresh air inlet of an engine intake system. The rear structure of a saddle-ride type vehicle includes a rear fender halved into a first fender and a second fender connected to each other. The first fender is formed with a hanging portion so as to cover the rear and upside of a rear wheel and the second fender covering the upside of the rear wheel with a fresh air inlet being provided lateral to and in front of the rear wheel. The first fender and the second fender are disposed to overlap each other in an anteroposterior direction. The second fender is disposed on the vehicle-widthwise inside of the first fender. The second fender has anteroposteriorly and downwardly extending sidewalls at both vehicle-widthwise lateral end portions.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., LtdInventors: Masanori Nakamura, Takasumi Yamanaka, Michio Atsuchi, Masashi Nagayama, Kyosuke Inada, Noriyoshi Sasaki, Yoshihiro Arai
