Patent number: 11493087Abstract: An upper raceway ring has an inward flange portion. A lower raceway ring has an outward flange portion. An upper case has an outwardly projecting piece projecting in the radially outward direction toward an end surface of the inward flange portion from a surface facing the end surface. A lower case has an inwardly projecting piece projecting in the radially inward direction toward an end surface of the outward flange portion from a surface facing the end surface. The end surface of the upper raceway ring comes into contact with the outwardly projecting piece of the upper case, to allow the upper raceway ring to be held by the upper case. The end surface of the lower raceway ring comes into contact with the inwardly projecting piece of the lower case, to allow the lower raceway ring to be held by the lower case.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2021Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: NAKANISHI METALWORKS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshio Horikawa, Yasuhiro Narazaki, Kohei Shibata

Patent number: 11371563Abstract: Provided is a strut bearing including an upper case and a lower case that are made of a synthetic resin, and an engaging portion for preventing separation of components which are free from any stress exerted thereon during assembly. The strut bearing includes an outwardly-projecting piece row on an inner diameter side of an upper case, and an inwardly-projecting piece row on an inner diameter side of a lower case. Within a relative pivoting range of the upper and lower cases in a use state of the strut bearing, a detachment preventing engagement portion for preventing the upper and lower cases from being separated from each other in the axial direction is provided. Within a predetermined angle range outside the relative pivoting range, the detachment preventing engagement portion is not present.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: NAKANISHI METAL WORKS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuhiro Narazaki, Yoshio Horikawa, Kohei Shibata

Patent number: 10208800Abstract: The inner elastic sealing member 5 includes an inner cylindrical base portion 5A leading to an end portion of an inner cylindrical portion 1B of the inner ring 1, and also includes, at an outer circumferential surface of the inner cylindrical base portion 5A, a projection 7 extending radially outward of an inner periphery of a lower end of an inner cylindrical portion 2B of the outer ring 2. The outer elastic sealing member 6 includes a lip 6B brought into pressure contact with a pressure contact surface B of the outer ring 2. An upper surface 7A of the projection 7 is spaced downward from the lower end of the inner cylindrical portion 2B of the outer ring 2, and an outer circumferential surface 7C of the projection 7 is spaced radially inward from the lower member 8.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2017Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignees: JTEKT CORPORATION, NAKANISHI METAL WORKS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Yano, Yoshio Horikawa

Patent number: 4934812Abstract: A light detector is disclosed which comprises a light-receiving section adapted to receive a measuring light beam at a front face thereof and to photoelectrically convert the light beam thus received and a display section adapted to display a measurement result on the basis of an output from the light-receiving section. The display section is constituted by a pair of display segments each having at least one displaying face on a respective one of side faces which are formed on opposed sides of the light-receiving section sandwiching it therebetween and are inclined with respect to the front face in such a direction that back faces thereof approach to each other.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1987Date of Patent: June 19, 1990Assignee: Tokyo Kogaku Kikai Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Satoshi Hirano, Yoshio Horikawa
