Abstract:
A friction stir welding member is formed by welding a second member to a first member in such a manner that a second member is stacked on a first member, a material property of the second member being different from a material property of the first member, a pin of a welding tool using a Friction Stir Welding technique is inserted into the second member, welding is started at one end of the second member, and the pin is pulled out at a welding terminal portion before the pin reaches the other end of the second member. A projection projecting toward the welding tool is provided integrally with the second member, the projection is formed so as to have a height that is higher than a length of the pin, and the projection is provided with the welding terminal portion.

A waste liquid recovery apparatus includes a container body; a liquid absorbing body which is accommodated in the container body and absorbs liquid discharged as a waste liquid; and a sealing member which seals the container body, wherein a first space into which liquid is discharged from a liquid ejecting head and a second space which links with the outside through a ventilation hole formed in the sealing member are formed in a space closed by the container body and the sealing body, and the first space and the second space are connected with each other at the ventilation hole side.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a joined heterogeneous material in which a carbon steel material (11) and an aluminum material (12) have joined via friction-stir welding. The region of a weld zone (15) with a low lift-up amount in a plastic flow area (17) created during friction-stir welding is located on one side of the aluminum material (12) with respect to the weld zone (15), created by a welding probe (14). The region of the weld zone (15) with a high plastic flow area (17) lift-up amount is located on the other side of the aluminum material (12).
Abstract:
An advancing container constructed from an elliptically tubular body tube (1), a tubular tray body (21) having a non-circular shaped lateral cross-section and non-rotatably moves up and down in a containing tube section (2) in the body tube (1), and a driving body (11) mounted to the body tube (1) so as to be able to rotate and not to be able to move up and down and screw-fitted to the tray body (21). A seal section (3) at the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the containing tube section (2) and a seal tube section (24) at the lower end of the tray body (21) are adapted to be able to be tightly fitted to each other. A positioning rib (4) is provided at the lower end of the containing tube section (2), and a positioning cutout (25) is provided at the lower end of the tray body (21). When the positioning rib (4) and the positioning cutout (25) are engaged with each other, circumferential displacements of the body tube (1) and the tray body (21) are corrected. When the tray body is retracted, the body tube (1) and the tray body (21) are always aligned in position with each other.
Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit of the present invention comprises a hard macro and a plurality of wirings connected to the hard macro. The hard macro comprises a hard macro main body, and a plurality of pins with a minimum pin width based on a design rule of the semiconductor integrated circuit, which is connected to the wirings. Each of the pins is arranged in a vicinity of the peripheral edge of the hard macro main body with a minimum isolated space based on the design rule provided therebetween along a direction crossing with a width direction of the peripheral edge. The wirings are arranged obliquely along a direction crossing with a perpendicular direction of the peripheral edge.
Abstract:
A cap member according to a first aspect of the invention is a cap member that covers a nozzle area of an ejecting head having a plurality of nozzle openings for ejecting fluid. The cap member includes a cap member body having a bottom portion and a frame portion and an absorbing member being fixed to the bottom portion for absorbing the fluid. The bottom portion is arranged so as to oppose the nozzle area, and the frame portion is provided on a peripheral edge of the bottom portion and coming into contact with the ejecting head. An inner peripheral portion extending along the inner surface of the frame portion is a groove portion, and the height of the groove portion from the bottom portion is lower than the upper surface of the absorbing member over the entire circumference of the frame portion.
Abstract:
A method for producing a hemmed joint structure having a second member placed on a first member and an edge of the first member bent over the second member to join the two members with each other. In this method, there is provided an flange part jutting out from an edge of the first member. The flange part is disposed at a position where the flange part, when bent, does not overlap an adhesive layer between the first member and the second member. Since the adhesive layer is set apart from the flange part, even when the flange part is subjected to friction stir bonding, the resultant frictional heat will not affect the adhesive layer.
Abstract:
The technical problem of this invention is to create check valve mechanisms of a simple configuration. Thus, the object of this invention is to provide a discharge container maintaining high productivity, showing good squeeze operation, and having improved outer appearance. The above technical problem and the object of this invention are solved and achieved by a discharge container comprising: a squeezable container 1 having an outer layer 2, an inner layer 3 laminated with the outer layer 2, a container neck 6 disposed on top of the container 1 and used as the flow path 29 for the contents, and an air intake 13 used to introduce outside air into the void between the outer layer 2 and the inner layer 3; an applicator 70 having an applying mechanism and discharge holes 74 for discharging the contents, and having discharge passage 76 communicated with the neck 6; the second check valve mechanism 41 that acts to open or close the flow path 29 so as not to allow the backflow of the contents and the entry of outside air; a base cup 50 having a bottom of its own, a cylindrical wall 51, which is fitted around the bottom cylinder 8, and an air hole 54 that introduces outside air into air intake 13; and the first check valve 40, which is assembled with and fitted to the base cup 50 so as to allow outside air to pass through the air intake 13 but not to allow the backflow of introduced air.
Abstract:
A driving mechanism includes: a drive gear fixed to a motor; a sun gear rotatably provided and having a gear portion engaged with the drive gear; a ring gear coaxial with the sun gear and locked not to rotate relative to the sun gear and being allowed to rotate relative to the sun gear; a planetary gear engaged with the sun gear and the ring gear; a planetary carrier coaxial with the sun gear and connected to the planetary gear, the planetary carrier outputting force in response to rotation and revolution of the planetary gear associated with rotation of the sun gear and relative to the ring gear locked not to rotate. A central engaged portion of the driving gear and the gear portion and a central engaged portion of the sun gear, the ring gear and the planetary gear are arranged on the same plane.
Abstract:
A plate-exchangeable compact container having a mounting chamber which can store a large plate or a pair of small plates, and a plate spring that applies a force in a forward direction. The spring force applies a pressure to both the left and right sides of the large plate or to the small plates. When the small plates are mounted in the mounting chamber, engagement protrusions are attached in a manner which allows them to contact the side regions of each small plate back panel.
