Publication number: 20190240815Abstract: A finger tool (10) which tightens a fastening member has a housing (11), a force detector (12), a rotary body (15), and a rotation driving mechanism (13). The force detector (12) is arranged on the housing (11) such that, when the housing (11) is attached to a finger (1) of a person's hand, the force detector (12) contacts a finger underside (2) of the finger (1). The rotary body (15) is arranged such that at least a tip thereof is present outside the housing (11), and has a rotation axis parallel to a specified direction. The rotation driving mechanism (13) is housed in the housing (11) and rotates the rotary body (15) around the rotation axis thereof in the state the housing (11) is attached to the finger (1), in response to detection of a force having a component in the specified direction by the force detector (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2019Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Kenta Kasano, Masahito Kimori, Yoshinori Tsurugai, Tatsumichi Nakada, Junya Shigeno, Yusuke Miho

Patent number: 10369749Abstract: The first electrode section (7a) and the second electrode section (7b) are formed such that the outer portion connected to the upper portion of the heating section (6) is thinner than the inner portion connected to the lower portion of the heating section (6). The heating section (6) and the first electrode section (7a) are interconnected by an R-shaped first connecting portion (21). The inner circumferential sloping surface of the heating section (6) and the second electrode section (7b) are interconnected by an R-shaped second connecting portion (22). The first and second connecting portions (21)(22) are formed such that R becomes larger from the upper end to the lower end, where the upper portion is thin and the lower portion is thick. The thickness of an intermediate portion (6b) is smaller than the thicknesses of the first and second connecting portions (21)(22).Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2018Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshinori Tsurugai, Hiroshi Ishikawa, Yuichi Tajiri, Shigeto Akahori, Naohiro Ohtsu, Satoshi Shiozaki
