20080310700 | Article Visual Inspection Apparatus - An article visual inspection apparatus capable of detecting that the surface conditions of an article are so inferior as to render the article unusable as a product and rejecting the same as a defective article by inspecting the article for external defects, occurring on the surface of the article, such as streaks, dice marks and rough surfaces of an aluminum extruded shape. The visual inspection apparatus comprises an imaging device ( | 12-18-2008 |
20080216440 | JOINT CONSTRUCTION, FITTING AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF FITTING - Since an inside piece of a joint block is abutted to a rib of a second opposed piece under a pressure by engaging a first opposed piece of a frame member with the joint block, the inside piece can be securely abutted at the position of the rib even when the second opposed piece and the joint block are slightly deformed, which secures a predetermined joint intensity by preventing a variation of the abutment position. Since the joint block is abutted with the rib, the pressure per a dimension can be more increased than abutting with the whole surface of the inside piece, which consequently increases the frictional force to improve the joint intensity. | 09-11-2008 |
20080202046 | SASH WINDOW ASSEMBLY - A sash window assembly includes a face material provided in an opening section open to an indoor and outdoor side, a frame section provided within the opening section, and beads attached to the frame section with the ends of the beads angled and butted against one another, the beads for pressing upon the face material from one of the indoor and outdoor directions, wherein each of the beads includes a first engaging section and a second engaging section, the first engaging section engaging with the frame section at a front-side in a movement direction, the second engaging section engaging with the frame further toward a rear-side in the movement direction than the first engaging section, when the bead is moved in the movement direction along a depth direction; the frame section includes a first engaging projection that engages with the first engaging section, a second engaging projection that engages with the second engaging section, and a recess provided between the first engaging projection and the second engaging projection, the recess being recessed toward an inner side of the frame section; and each of the beads is moved with the first engaging section of each bead inserted into the recess, the first engaging section being engaged with the first engaging projection in a state where the bead is tilted so that the second engaging section moves away from the frame section, the second engaging section being engaged with the second engaging projection by rotating the bead in a direction that brings the second engaging section closer to the frame section. | 08-28-2008 |
