Inventor: MOCHIZUKI KENICHI
IPC: F25B41/06

Abstract: At the valve closing position of a valve element 17, a valve stem 16 is stopped by contracting a engaging portion 71 provided in an intermediate portion in the axial direction to a stopper 70 formed on a valve body 10. Since the valve element 17 forms a bleed port forming a small clearance between the valve element 17 and an orifice 12, a small amount of fluid flows through the clearance even at the fully closing position of valve, and thus so-called initialize noise, which is liable to be produced, for example, at the time of the start of compressor, can be reduced. Since the valve stem 16 is stopped by the stopper 70, the bleed port is less liable to wear. The movement in the valve closing direction at the time when a screw feeding member 45 is further driven by a stepping motor 40 is absorbed by a coil spring 52. Subsequently, by the contact of upper and lower stopper bodies 67 and 68 with each other, the rotation base point of the stepping motor, which is the zero point flow rate, is secured.

Filed: 2002-12-03
Abstract: A tensioner (10) features a backstop device (40) which allows free rotation of the pivot arm (20) in one direction but not the other. Reverse rotation is prevented by friction that is able to resist torque on the pivot arm (20) under ordinary operating conditions which otherwise could permit belt tooth-skip to occur. In disclosed embodiments, the backstop device (40) includes a stop sleeve (50) and a clamp holder (60) which are axially interlocked and are able to rotate relative to each other. A clutch spring (80) surrounds permits relative rotation between the stop sleeve and the clamp holder in one direction but not the other. A clamp (70) retained within the clamp holder (60) frictionally engages the pivot shaft. A viscous coupling may be used in place of the frictional clamp.

Abstract: When an abnormality occurs in a supply circuit (26) and its output is decreased, a protect circuit (24) detects the abnormality and outputs a protect signal to an audio circuit (18). The audio circuit (18) upon detection of the protect signal stops outputting audio so that outputting of an audio noise due to a deficiency in the supplied voltage is prevented. Meanwhile, when no abnormality occurs in the supply circuit (26), a microcomputer (22) controls the audio circuit (18) by supplying it with such a signal as to allow it to output an audio, or to increase the audio volume, or with a mute signal.

Abstract: In Tunnelfinishern zum Behandeln von Bekleidungsstücken (14) erfolgt die Beaufschlagung der Bekleidungsstücke (14) mit Heißdampf und Heißluft. Insbesondere die Heißluft wird üblicherweise quer zur Transportrichtung (13) an den Bekleidungsstücken (14) entlanggeleitet. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass eine solche Finishbehandlung der Bekleidungsstücke (14) energieaufwendig ist. 
     Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, vor allem die Heißluft zum Finishen der Bekleidungsstücke (14) zusätzlich im Gegenstrom zur Transportrichtung (13) an den Bekleidungsstücken (14) entlang zu leiten. Das führt zu einem wirksameren Finishen der Bekleidungsstücke (14) mit höherer Energieausbeute, so dass der erfindungsgemäße Tunnelfinisher einen geringeren Energieverbrauch aufweist.

Abstract: Apparatuses are provided for various tools that incorporate materials with a high coefficient of friction and a low coefficient of friction. The materials with a low coefficient of friction may be mounted on a tool and have a perpendicular movement to the tool. This perpendicular movement may be implemented with a spring mechanism. The materials with a high coefficient of friction may be mounted on the tool in a fixed position. The tool may be pressed against a surface, first engaging the materials with a low coefficient of friction. The tool may freely move across the surface while the materials with a low coefficient of friction maintain contact with the surface. As the tool is continually pressed to the surface, the materials with a high coefficient of friction subsequently make contact with the surface, thereby causing the lateral movement of the tool with respect to the surface to be restricted and stabilized. An example of the tool may be a spirit or carpenter level.
