  • Patent number: 7959040
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device (1) for dispensing a product. The dispensing device comprises: a container (2) containing the product under pressure, the container having a top (7), bottom (5) and body portion (8), an axial direction being defined between the bottom and top; a valve mechanism (3) mounted at the top of the container, the valve mechanism being movable with respect to the container for pressurized discharge of the product out of the container; and a dispensing cap (4) mounted on the top of the container. The dispensing cap carries: a nozzle (21) debouching outside the cap for spraying the product, the nozzle being connected to the valve mechanism by a conduit; and art actuating member (23) having a horizontal arm (25) and a vertical arm (24). The horizontal arm is hingedly suspended in the cap and engages the valve mechanism to actuate the valve mechanism upon pulling the vertical arm towards the container portion.

  • Patent number: 7183839
    Abstract: A diode detecting circuit which cancels temperature dependence of a detecting diode so as to obtain highly sensitive detection. The diode detecting circuit has a first diode detecting unit in which a first diode detects an input signal biased by a bias voltage, a second diode detecting unit in which a second diode receives the bias voltage, and an output unit which compares an output from the first diode detecting unit with an output from the second diode detecting unit.

  • Patent number: 6951149
    Abstract: An output shaft locking device for a multi-clutch transmission in which a plurality of rotational mechanisms, each of which is formed by arranging a clutch and a shifting mechanism is series, is provided in parallel between a rotational power input shaft and a rotational power output shaft, and an output shaft locking method. The output shaft locking device includes a locking control device which locks the rotational power output shaft by engaging a shifting gear in each of the shifting mechanisms of at least two of the rotational mechanisms, and engaging each of the clutches of the rotational mechanisms. Thus, it is possible to lock the output shaft so as to fix wheels by engaging the shifting gear without providing a lock mechanism.
