A knuckle bracket (1) for a cylinder (20) comprises outer and inner brackets (2, 10). The outer bracket (2) comprises a pair of outer plates (4, 5) projecting in a lateral direction with respect to a cylinder axis. The inner bracket (10) comprises a pair of inner plates (12, 13) overlap the outer plates (4, 5) on the inner side thereof. A guide (17) of having outwardly curved shape is formed on a leading edge (X, Y) of each of the inner plates (12, 13) so as to facilitate introduction of a connecting part (90) of a knuckle bracket (N) into the inner bracket (10). By forming a notch (7) on a leading edge of each of the outer plates (4, 5) to accommodate the guide (17), the size of the knuckle bracket (1) can be suppressed.

摘要:
A two-color hologram recording/reproducing apparatus is capable of directing interferable signal light and reference light into a hologram recording medium to record an information signal carried by the signal light. The hologram recording medium is sensitive to a first light at a first wavelength in an ultraviolet or short-wavelength visible light band to develop light induced absorption. The apparatus includes a light source for irradiating the hologram recording medium with the first light, a laser light source for irradiating the hologram recording medium with signal light and reference light at a second wavelength longer than the first wavelength after the first light is irradiated, and a gate light source for directing gate light at a third wavelength into the hologram recording medium. The gate light causes the hologram recording medium to develop a recording sensitivity to activate or inactivate a refractive index grating in accordance with existence or non-existence of a light interference pattern formed by the signal light and the reference light.

Seal coating mask for semiconductor element and method of use thereof with a seal coating mask with an opening located at a position where a semiconductor element is mounted on a wiring board. The coating mask has an annular protrusion formed along the whole periphery of the opening. A clearance of about 0.01 to 0.5 mm is formed between at least a part of the whole periphery of the annular protrusion and the front surface of the wiring board. The coating mask also includes a space portion formed on the back of the seal coating mask for cutting off cooling material outside of the annular protrusion. The coating mask is used to forcibly coat a material for sealing the semiconductor element in the front surface of the wiring board.
