| 20110233902 | Foldable Baby Carriage - Provided is a foldable baby carriage having a simultaneous brake mechanism enabling the baby carriage to stand upright by itself in a folded state. A simultaneous brake mechanism includes: right and left wheel restricting members capable of switching between a brake position where the right and left wheel restricting members contact the right and left wheels and a released position where the right and left wheel restricting members are separated from the right and left wheels; and a coupling mechanism placed between the right and left wheel restricting members, for simultaneously switching the positions of the right and left wheel restricting members. The coupling mechanism has a contact portion which is separated upward from a ground surface G of the right and left wheels in a deployed state of the baby carriage, and which contacts, together with the right and left wheels, the ground surface G of the right and left wheels in a folded state of the baby carriage to make the baby carriage stand upright by itself. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110056967 | Film Accommodating Cassette for Waste Disposal Apparatus - A film accommodating cassette is detachably attached to a film attachment portion formed in an upper region of a waste disposal apparatus for accommodating a waste material, and includes only: a cylindrical tubular core that forms a waste inlet at its upper end; a lower flange that extends radially outward from a lower end of the tubular core; and an upper flange that extends radially outward from the upper end of the tubular core. The lower flange has a cassette-side latching portion that engages with the film attachment portion to couple the film accommodating cassette with the film attachment portion. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110056953 | Refill Film for Waste Disposal Apparatus, Refill Film Accommodating Cassette, and Portable Waste Disposal Bag - A refill film for a waste disposal apparatus includes: a film annular body that is formed by a long tubular film folded so as to be compressed in an extending direction thereof; and a wrapping sheet that is made of a material capable of being cut, and wraps the film annular body while keeping a central hole of the film annular body open, and maintains the compressed state. Such a refill film is directly placed in a waste inlet of the waste disposal apparatus. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110056942 | Waste Disposal Apparatus - A waste disposal apparatus includes a lid lock mechanism for locking a lid and an upper part of a waste accommodating main body together in a coupled state, and a main body lock mechanism for locking the upper part and a lower part of the waste accommodating main body together in a coupled state. The waste disposal apparatus further includes a lid unlock mechanism in which a direction of an operation of unlocking the lid lock mechanism is different from that of an operation of opening the lid, and a main body unlock mechanism in which a direction of an operation of unlocking the main body lock mechanism is different from that of an operation of opening the upper part of the waste accommodating main body. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110056941 | Waste Disposal Apparatus - A waste disposal apparatus includes an open/close sealing mechanism that nips a film at a position between a film accommodating portion and a waste accommodating main body to seal a space below the nipped part of the film from a space above the nipped part of the film. The sealing mechanism has a sealing door capable of being opened and closed, and a sealing door receiving portion. Film nipping portions of the sealing door and the sealing door receiving portion include concavo-convex shapes that bend a vertical intermediate portion of a film portion to be nipped, laterally with respect to an imaginary straight line that connects upper and lower ends of the film portion to be nipped. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110056173 | Waste Disposal Apparatus - A waste disposal apparatus includes: a waste accommodating main body that has a film attachment portion in its upper region, and stores a waste material that is placed therein; a film accommodating cassette having a cylindrical tubular core that forms a waste inlet at its upper end, a lower flange that extends radially outward from a lower end of the tubular core, and a cylindrical film that is positioned so as to surround the tubular core and is accommodated so as to be compressed in an axial direction of the tubular core; and a cassette coupling mechanism for detachably attaching the film accommodating cassette to the film attachment portion. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20100264628 | FOLDABLE PUSHCART - A foldable pushcart includes: a pair of first vertical frame members extending vertically and parallel to each other on a back side of the pushcart; a first cross member including two bar members, which cross each other in an X shape, and which have their respective upper ends slidably supported by the pair of first vertical frame members, respectively, and have their respective lower ends pivotally coupled to the pair of first vertical frame members, respectively; a first link member having its one end pivotally coupled to one of the two bar members of the first cross member; a second link member having its one end pivotally coupled to the other bar member of the first cross member, and having the other end pivotally coupled to the other end of the first link member; a first open-state lock mechanism for fixing a crossing angle between the two bar members of the first cross member by inhibiting bending between the first link member and the second link member; and a second open-state lock mechanism for fixing a crossing angle between the first link member and one of the two bar members of the first cross member. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100156160 | Seat structure - A seat structure includes: a seat main body; a seating surface element attached to the seat main body, and extending in a longitudinal direction; a back element connected to a rear end of the seating surface element in a reclinable manner, and extending in a vertical direction; an upper end flap connected to an upper end of the back element in a forward tiltable manner; a displacement member supported on the back element in a vertically displaceable manner; and a first connection element connecting the displacement member and the upper end flap so as to tilt the upper end flap forward according to displacement of the displacement member. | 06-24-2010 |
