  • Patent number: 5284302
    Abstract: An electromagnetic fuel injection valve includes a needle valve having a sealed bore of a specified length formed therein a guide hole within which the needle valve is movable. A stopper plate and a valve seat portion ar provided for defining opened and closed positions of the needle valve. Further, a magnetic powder of a specified mass is movably received in the bore. When the needle valve collides with the stopper plate or the valve seat portion, the magnetic powder is moved by an inertia force acting. Due to collision of the magnetic powder with an end of the bore with a specified time lag, a bouncing force resulting from the collision of the needle valve can be canceled. Accordingly, a bounce of the needle valve can be restrained. further, since the inertia force acting on the magnetic powder is utilized, the durability can be improved as compared with the prior art.

  • Patent number: 5132649
    Abstract: A signal input device having a mutual inductor formed by a coil connected with a capacitor for a grounding cable in series and a coil connected with a capacitor for a signal cable in series, and a compensating capacitor connected with the series circuit composed of the capacitor and the coil on the grounding cable in parallel. The compensating capacitor serves to prevent occurrence of a voltage on the grounding cable, and accordingly only regular signals received by an antenna are transmitted.

  • Patent number: 5022870
    Abstract: A retainer for insert-retaining a plurality of pin terminals includes a ferrite member having an aligned arrangement of through holes formed at insertion positions of the pin terminals and a resin member covering one surface of the ferrite member. The resin member also has an aligned arrangement of holes for receiving the pin terminals. The ferrite member functions as a filter element to reduce noise. Thin portions are formed along the inner circumferential surfaces of resin member defining the holes. The thin portions are deformed or fractured by the insertion of the pin terminals, and then each deformed or fractured portion is sandwiched between the inserted pin terminal and the inner circumferential surface to thereby elastically engage the pin terminal, resulting in the retainer being secured to the pin terminals in a manner which prevents the terminals from shifting in position.
