  • Patent number: 7231648
    Abstract: To provide a disk supporting apparatus, a disk holding apparatus and a disk apparatus whose planar dimension is minimized, and which can be manufactured simply and inexpensively. A plurality of supporting portions 44 inclines with respect to a top portion 46 as a vertex. A tray 26 is formed into a substantially triangular pyramid (three-dimensional) configuration, and a planar dimension of the tray 26 can be smaller than that of a conventional turntable. Accordingly, a plurality of disks can be mounted on the tray 26. The supporting portion 44 of the tray 26 can be placed in parallel to a door leaf without a slide mechanism that has conventionally been used for sliding a tray. Accordingly, a desired disk can be attached/detached merely by rotating and driving the tray 26, and a mechanism disposed at a stereo apparatus is made compact and manufactured inexpensively.

  • Patent number: 7174872
    Abstract: An air intake apparatus has an air intake port opening outside, and an air intake path communicating the air intake port with a combustion chamber of an engine. For suppressing noise getting out from the air intake port, with respect to walls partitioning the air intake path, an opening is provided at a part of said walls corresponding to an antinode region of resonance mode of standing wave in a full length of the intake path, or at a part of noise pressure level being high in the intake path. The opening is closed with a permeable member and a noise insulating wall is disposed outside the permeable member for suppressing emission of transmitting noise passing through the permeable member. Alternatively, a vibration control member for suppressing face-vibration of the permeable member and reducing radiant noise from the permeable member is provided instead of the noise insulating wall.

  • Patent number: 6622680
    Abstract: An opening long in the longitudinal direction of a duct wall is formed. The whole of the opening is covered with non-woven fabric, and the lateral width of the opening is set to be not shorter than {fraction (1/20)} of the circumferential length of the duct wall. Alternatively, a porous member is thermally welded with the head of an opening of a small cylindrical portion projecting from the duct wall of a duct body 1, while the duct body is prevented from deformation. In a method for manufacturing the air take duct, a high-melting molded piece is brought into contact with a hot plate so as to be heated. A low-melting molded piece is disposed at a distance from the hot plate so as to be heated by radiation heat from the hot plate.
