20090094806 | Apparatus main body holder of portable apparatus and portable apparatus including the holder - To provide an apparatus main body holder of a portable apparatus having a simple constitution and a high reliability of holding an apparatus main body in a state of being mounted to a mounted object and in a state of not being mounted to the mounted object. An apparatus main body holder to and from which an apparatus main body of a pedometer is held insertably and detachably including a holder main body, a clip piece, a stopper member, and a torsional coil spring. The holder main body includes a base wall, and a holding portion provided on a surface side of the wall. The holding portion holds an apparatus main body insertably and detachably inserted thereto to slide along a surface of the base wall. The clip piece is pivotably attached to the holder main body. The stopper member is engageable and disengageable with and from the apparatus main body held by the holding portion and engaged with the apparatus main body to restrict the apparatus main body so as not to be drawn out from the holding portion in a direction reverse to the inserting direction. The clip piece is urged by the coil spring to be brought into contact with the holder main body. The stopper member is arranged at a position of being engaged with the apparatus main body by urging the stopper member by the coil spring. | 04-16-2009 |
20100128575 | Portable device and portable watch - In a wristwatch (portable device), a push button (push-pull operating member) includes an engaging portion, and the push button is mounted on a watch sheath (device sheath). A stopper is arranged on the watch sheath. The stopper is movable between a locked position in which the push button is held at a predetermined position by engagement with the engaging portion and an unlocked position in which the operation of the push button is allowed. A circular operating ring surrounding an hour plate (display portion) mounted on the watch sheath is rotatably mounted on the watch sheath from the front side thereof. The movement of the stopper between the locked position and the unlocked position is interlocked with the rotating operation of the operating ring. | 05-27-2010 |
20140275931 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - There is provided a portable electronic apparatus including an apparatus main body that includes electronic components built therein, a fixation belt that is used to attach the apparatus main body to a living body surface, a connector that is provided at an end of the fixation belt in a belt longitudinal direction, and has an engagement protrusion that is detachably stored in an engagement recess formed at the apparatus main body, and a biasing body that is provided in the engagement recess, and biases the engagement protrusion stored in the engagement recess so as to maintain an engagement state between the engagement recess and the engagement protrusion. | 09-18-2014 |

20130226214 | HAIR IMPLANTER WITH IMPROVED STRUCTURE OF NEEDLE - A hair implanter is equipped with a tube in which a shaft is disposed movable in an axial direction thereof, a tapered hollow needle extending from a tip end of the tube, and slits extending from a tip of the needle in an axial direction thereof to divide a body of the needle into a plurality of needle strips. The needle strips are so shaped that when the shaft is pushed, it contacts inner surfaces of the needle strips, and when the shaft is further advanced in sliding contact with the inner surfaces of the needle strips, the needle strips will elastically bend radially outwardly. Each of the slits extends toward the base end of the tube across a point at which the shaft contacts the inner surfaces of the needle strips. This achieves smooth opening of the tip of the needle with a small degree of force pushing the shaft. | 08-29-2013 |
20130316298 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING DENTAL IMPLANTATION SURGERY - In a method and apparatus for supporting dental implantation surgery, a three-dimensional CT image of jaws of an object is acquired. A reference site of the jaws and an implantation position of a gum in the jaws are set in the three-dimensional CT image. The implant is implanted at the implantation position. A three-dimensional optical image of an inside of an oral cavity of the object is then produced. The reference site is positionally set in the three-dimensional optical image through recognition of a shape of the reference site in the three-dimensional optical image. A surgical tool is positionally controlled to the implantation position in the oral cavity, based on i) a relationship between the position of the reference site and the implantation position of the gum in the three-dimensional CT image and ii) the position of the reference site in the three-dimensional optical image. | 11-28-2013 |
20130323670 | MOUTH OPENING INSTRUMENT AND METHOD - A mouth opening instrument includes an upper member suitable for attaching on an upper jaw side within the mouth of a patient and a lower member suitable for attaching on a lower jaw side. The instrument further includes a connecting section, a control section, and an input section. The connecting section connects end portions of the upper member and the lower member such that a resistance of opening or closing actions of the upper member and the lower member are controllable. The control section controls the resistance of opening or closing actions of the upper member and the lower member. The input section receives an operating state signal indicating an operating state of a dental treatment device. When the operating state signal indicating an operating state of a dental treatment device is inputted, the closing resistance of the upper member and the lower member is set to be greater than that at a time when the operating state signal is not inputted. | 12-05-2013 |
20140014804 | APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING BODY PART OF WORKER - An apparatus for supporting a worker's body part, for example a surgeon's arm, is provided. The body part is supported by a base movably supported by a support. The apparatus has a free mode and a limitation mode, which are switchable. When it is determined that the body part is attempting to move the base or a fastening member, the operating mode is switched to the free mode. When it is determined that the body part is not attempting to move the base or the fastening member, the operating mode is switched to the limitation mode. The free mode allows the fastening member to fasten the body part on the base and allows a brake to release limitations to the motions of the base. The limitation mode allows the fastening member to release the body part from being fastened and allows the brake to limit the motions of the base. | 01-16-2014 |
20140306086 | APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING AND FOLLOWING MOVEMENT OF A PART OF PERSON'S BODY - An apparatus includes a brace being mounted on a person's body part and having a hard fitting surface. The apparatus also includes a load device, a support, a securing member, a brake, a switch device, and a soft film. The load device has a hard receiving surface receiving the fitting surface of the brace. The support movably supports the load device. The securing member secures the fitting surface to the receiving surface and enables the load device to move and follow movement of the person's body part and the brace against resistance applied from the support. The brake limits movement of the load device. The switch device switches operation modes of the apparatus, at least, between a free mode and a limiting mode. The soft film is arranged between the receiving and fitting surfaces for smooth movement of the person's body part on the load device in the limiting mode. | 10-16-2014 |
