  • Patent number: 10137526
    Abstract: A laser machining device machines a machining target subject by irradiating the converged laser beam output from each laser diode of a plurality of laser diodes connected in series to each other. A machining laser beam output-power driving circuit Q1 outputs a machining laser beam by driving the plurality of laser diodes 11a-11 d, 13. A guide light output-power driving circuit Q2 outputs a guide light by driving a partial laser diode 13 of the plurality of laser diodes. A selection means SW1, SW2 selects the guide light output-power driving circuit on determining the position and selects the machining laser output-power driving circuit on a laser machining. A setup value comparison circuit 16 controls the electric current flowing through the part of laser diodes to be below the electric current setup value to output the guide light having electric current not higher than the predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 9977160
    Abstract: An optical device includes an optical assembly having a housing, a first end window, and a second end window. The first and second end window together with the housing provide an enclosed volume for a protected optical device including an optical material. A material for the end windows blocks essentially all non-pass band light having sufficient energy to generate absorption phenomena in the optical material while transmitting essentially all of operational wavelength light (pass band light) for the optical device. A material for the housing also blocks essentially all the non-pass band light from reaching the optical material.

  • Patent number: 9220201
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool has a power tool housing made at least partially of plastic material. A drive motor is arranged in the power tool housing and a drive shaft driven connected to the drive motor is provided. A tool member is connected to the drive shaft and driven by the drive motor through the drive shaft. A first bearing rotatably supports the drive shaft relative to the power tool housing. An intermediate element supports the first bearing relative to the power tool housing. The intermediate element is arranged in a receptacle of the power tool housing and is supported on a support surface relative to the bottom of the receptacle. The support surface is less than approximately 50% of an imaginary circular ring surface defined between an outer circumference of the first bearing and the circumcircle of the receptacle.

  • Patent number: 7685672
    Abstract: This invention is a new structure of blackboard eraser with cordless vacuum functionality. The main components in the design include a chalk eraser, chalk dust collector and vacuum fan. A brusher mounted in the edge of inlet hole of chalk dust collector removes the chalk dust from the surface of eraser belt shape fabric and then the chalk dust is vacuumed into the collector chamber by vacuum fan. The roller shafts are inserted to the eraser bracket side holes and then go to the center of cylinder rollers. The eraser belt shape fabric covers to the external of the four rollers and eraser bracket. The eraser belt fabric will be conveyed back and forth by the friction with rollers and erase the chalk dust from the blackboard. One filter bag installed in the collect chamber filters the chalk power from the inlet air of the vacuum fan.

  • Publication number: 20090083916
    Abstract: A two piece eraser assembly for use as a rotary tool attachment for abrading surfaces enables quick and easy replacement of worn eraser disks without requiring the assistance of any hand held tools in either the removal or in the reinstallation process. The assembly, including aftermarket replacement parts therefor, comprise an eraser disk and an eraser hub for mounting and holding the eraser disk. The eraser hub includes upper and lower surfaces, wherein the eraser hub upper surface features a centrally positioned throughbore, a flange at the peripheral edge of the hub and a stub shaft on the lower surface positioned axially with the throughbore. The eraser hub includes a plurality of spaced apertures for engaging with and detachably locking eraser disk extensions on the backside, so the eraser disk is mounted flush with the eraser hub. The upper surface of the eraser disk includes a central recess and an aperture in the recess keyed for axially alignment with the throughbore of the eraser hub.

  • Patent number: 7341635
    Abstract: An eraser is constituted by an elastic material containing a rubber component or a resin component, and a skeleton structure for reinforcing the elastic material, and the skeleton structure is made from a porous structural material such as from an organic polymer that is broken when rubbed. Void portions in the porous structural material of the skeleton structure contain the elastic material of the eraser composition. Here, the skeleton portions of the skeleton structure may have an average thickness of 1 to 100 ?m, and the void portions may have an average pore size of 10 ?m to 3 mm. The eraser may have a surface hardness of 50 to 80, and also a sticking strength of 1.5 to 20 (kgf).

  • Patent number: 7039981
    Abstract: An orbital remover including a body assembly and a tip drive assembly. The body assembly includes a main spring. The tip drive assembly includes a tip holder, a bearing guide having a convoluted race formed on an inner surface, a bearing spring, and at least two ball bearings. The ball bearings are housed in the tip drive assembly between the bearing spring and the bearing guide within the convoluted race formed in the body assembly, and the depression of the body assembly in a vertical movement actuates the ball bearings within the convoluted race, thereby rotating a tip received in the tip holder in an orbital movement. The main spring provides resistance for and returns the tip drive assembly to a starting position after the body assembly is vertically depressed.
