Abstract:
An elastic body apparatus includes a pneumatic pressure sealing member formed of a hollow flexible material and sealing therein a high pressure pneumatic gas, a movable member driven by an external force against the pressure of the pneumatic pressure sealing member, a fixed shell enveloping a fixed portion of the pneumatic pressure sealing member, and an elastic shell having plate spring portions for applying a spring force in the same direction as the pressing direction of the pneumatic pressure sealing member to the movable member, and disposed at a position enveloping a displacing portion of the pneumatic pressure sealing member. The elastic shell serves as a shell and a spring body, and even if the pressure of the pneumatic pressure sealing member is increased, the pneumatic pressure sealing member is prevented from being deformed in excess of a normal level, and the pressure is transmitted to the movable member through the pneumatic pressure sealing member.

Abstract:
A power semiconductor module includes: a plurality of first metal plates arranged in the same planar state; a power semiconductor chip mounted on the first metal plate; and an overbridge-shaped second metal plate which is composed of bridge frame sections and leg sections that support the bridge frame sections, the leg sections being for appropriately performing solder bonding between electrodes of the power semiconductor chips and between the electrode of the power semiconductor chip and the first metal plate, the power semiconductor module being configured by a resin package in which these members are sealed with electrically insulating resin. In the power semiconductor module, the solder bonding section of the leg section is formed in a planar shape by bending process and is provided at a position lower than the bridge frame section.
Abstract:
A watch with a calendar mechanism has a rotatable first date indicator for displaying a ones place of a date, a rotatable second date indicator for displaying a tens place of the date, and a second date indicator feeding lever for rotating the second date indicator. The first date indicator has calendar shift teeth and first date indicator tooth portions. The calendar shift teeth include a first calendar shift tooth, a second calendar shift tooth arranged relative to the first calendar shift tooth at a first interval, a third calendar shift tooth arranged relative to the second calendar shift tooth at a second interval greater than the first interval, and a fourth calendar shift tooth arranged relative to the first calendar shift tooth at a third interval greater than each of the first and second intervals. The second date indicator feeding lever has a spring portion and is mounted to undergo movement from a first position toward the second date indicator in accordance with rotation of the first date indicator and is restored to the first position by a spring force of the spring portion.
Abstract:
To provide a residual wound quantity display mechanism of a timepiece, in which it is possible to change a way of a display without changing a basic structure, and a timepiece with the mechanism concerned. A residual wound quantity display mechanism of a mechanical timepiece has an output gearwheel rotating in compliance with a change in a residual wound quantity of a mainspring; a drive lever possessing monolithically a fan-shaped gearwheel part meshing with the output gearwheel, and an arm part extending from a rotation center of the fan-shaped gearwheel part in a direction different from a fan-shaped portion of the fan-shaped gearwheel part; a display member possessing a drive gearwheel part rotatably supported to a tip part of the arm part of the drive lever, and a display arbor formed monolithically in the drive gearwheel part in a site separated from a rotation center of the drive gearwheel part; and a fixation gearwheel possessing a fixation tooth part with which a tooth part of the drive gearwheel part of the display member meshes. Typically the fixation gearwheel adopts a form of the internally-toothed gearwheel.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a dishwasher which permits cost reductions while enabling increased strength. A reinforcement member is mounted between pillars, which are erected in the corners of a machine chamber, and a functional part for executing washing and rinsing is fixed to the reinforcement member. Here, an example of the functional part is a washing pump for delivering washing water. Furthermore, another example for the functional part is a connecting part for connecting electrical wiring between a control box and a detergent supply device or a booster or the like.
Abstract:
To provide a calendar mechanism-attached timepiece having a thin date feeding mechanism and month feeding mechanism. A calendar mechanism-attached timepiece of the invention includes a date indicator, a month indicator, a date indicator driving wheel, a date feed finger, and a small month end feed lever. The date indicator includes a month feed tooth for rotating an intermediate month wheel and a small month end feed tooth for feeding the date indicator at a month end of a small month. The month indicator includes a month cam for operating a small month end feed lever at a month end of a small month. The small month end feed lever is constituted to be able to feed the date indicator by an amount of 1 day based on rotation of the date indicator driving wheel and rotation of the month cam.

Abstract:
To realize a multifunctional watch which is constituted so as to be capable of forming a plurality of movement layouts without changing sizes and shapes of components for the movement only by changing positions where the components are incorporated. A movement 201 of a multifunctional watch is provided with a first train wheel rotational center and a second train wheel rotational center. The first train wheel rotational center and the second train wheel rotational center are aligned on a position between a main plate center 202c of a main plate 202 and a main plate outline portion of the main plate 202. On the first train wheel rotational center and the second train wheel rotational center, a train wheel guide portion for rotatably guiding a train wheel member is disposed, respectively. A train wheel for displaying time information or calendar information is aligned rotatably for on of the first train wheel rotational center and the second train wheel rotational center.
