20130098885 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING HEAD SUSPENSION HAVING LOAD BEAM AND FLEXURE ALIGNED WITH LOAD BEAM AND REFERENCE PIN BLOCK USED FOR THE METHOD - A method manufactures a head suspension by laser-welding the flexure to the load beam at a first welding spot so that a tongue is pressed against a convex portion under predetermined load. The method includes step of forming, before joining the flexure and load beam together, at least one positioning reference hole in each of the flexure and load beam within a circular range that is defined around the first welding spot with a radius equal to a distance between the first welding spot and the projection, laying the flexure and load beam one on another, inserting reference pin into the reference holes, and laser-welding the flexure and load beam to each other at the first welding spot. | 04-25-2013 |
20130099532 | VEHICLE SEAT - A vehicle seat comprising a pair of side frames configuring a portion of a seatback frame serving as framework for a seatback; a deformation origin portion provided to at least one of the pair of side frames and acting as an origin when the side frame deforms due to a collision force imparted to the seatback frame during a rear-on collision; and a deformation suppression unit provided to the side frame provided with the deformation origin portion, permitting deformation of the side frame originating at the deformation origin portion and suppressing deformation of the side frame by a reference amount or greater by the deformation suppression unit making contact with a contacted member provided to the seatback frame when the deformation amount of the side frame has reached the reference amount. | 04-25-2013 |
20130121754 | BALL JOINT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A ball joint includes, a ball stud with a shaft portion and a ball portion, a ball seat accommodated in a housing and including a recessed spherical surface into which the ball portion is inserted, a projecting portion having an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the ball portion, and a slope portion formed at a hole portion through which the shaft portion is inserted, the slope portion being shaped to have an inner diameter increasing from the projecting portion toward an opening, and a caulking portion including an edge formed at an end wall of the opening in the housing and folded toward an end surface of the ball seat, the edge being arranged so as to overlap the end surface of the ball seat and extending toward the projecting portion and opposite the slope portion. | 05-16-2013 |
20130125723 | CUTTING JIG FOR REWORKING HEAD SUSPSENSION - A cutting jig is used in a method of reworking a head suspension which removes a slider from the head suspension by pressing a blade from a first side toward a second side in a longitudinal direction of the slider to solder ball bonding, stopping the second side of the slider in the longitudinal direction with a holding mechanism, and forcing the blade to bite and cut the solder ball bonding to remove the slider from the flexure. The cutting jig includes a cutting mechanism configured to press a blade to the bonding material from the first side toward the second side in the longitudinal direction of the slider, and a holding mechanism stopping the second side of the slider in the longitudinal direction when the blade is pressed to the bonding material. | 05-23-2013 |
20130133391 | COIL-SPRING MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A coil wire material is bent by a first roll, a second roll, and a third roll. The bent coil wire material is pressed in a screwing direction, to shape a coil spring having a desired diameter and a pitch. A desired pitch can he accurately formed in a manner that a second roll provided on a downstream side of a conveying direction of the coil wire material is configured to be able to move hack and forth along the screwing direction of the coil spring and to be tiltable about an axis of rotation parallel to the conveying direction of the coil wire material. | 05-30-2013 |
20130134148 | SUBSTRATE SUPPORT DEVICE - A substrate support device formed of a metal and having a high withstand voltage and a high thermal resistance is provided. A substrate support device according to the present invention includes a plate section formed of a metal; a shaft section connected to the plate section and formed of a metal; a heating element provided in the plate section; and an insulating film formed on a first surface of the plate section, the first surface opposite to the shaft section, by ceramic thermal spraying. The substrate support device may further include an insulating film formed on a second surface of the plate section which intersects the first surface of the plate section approximately perpendicularly. | 05-30-2013 |
20130134756 | SEAT-CUSHION SHELL UNIT AND SHELL SEAT FOR VEHICLE - A seat-cushion shell unit is configured to include a support panel provided to be movable up and down and tiltable to an arbitrary angle below a seat cushion shell, and a support pad provided between the seat cushion shell and the support panel. A front end part and a rear end part of a support panel are fixed to the seat frame, and the seat-cushion shell unit is attached to the seat frame. | 05-30-2013 |
20130176645 | INTERLEAVED CIRCUIT OF FLEXURE FOR DISK DRIVE - An interleaved circuit has first branch conductors branching from a first conductor, second branch conductors branching from a second conductor, a metal base having an opening, an insulating layer formed on the metal base, an electrically insulating first cover resin layer, and an electrically insulating second cover resin layer. The first branch conductors are formed on the insulating layer. The first branch conductors are covered by the first cover resin layer. The second branch conductors are formed on the first cover resin layer. The second branch conductors are individually located between the first branch conductors. The second branch conductors are covered by the second cover resin layer. | 07-11-2013 |
20130176646 | INTERLEAVED CIRCUIT OF FLEXURE FOR DISK DRIVE - An interleaved circuit has first branch conductors branching from a first conductor, second branch conductors branching from a second conductor, a metal base, an insulating layer of a dielectric, and a cover resin layer. The metal base comprises an opening. The first branch conductors and the second branch conductors are arranged alternately in a transverse direction of the insulating layer. A slit is formed in the insulating layer and the cover resin layer. The slit comprises a pair of opposite walls and an air gap between the opposite walls. Air introduced into the air gap forms an air layer. The slit extends longitudinally relative to the interleaved circuit along at least a part of the branch conductors. | 07-11-2013 |
20130186727 | CLUTCH PLATE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME - A clutch plate in an annular shape, the clutch plate includes: a plurality of lubricating grooves on one end face and the other end face of the clutch plate in an axial direction; and a plurality of windows passing through the clutch plate in the axial direction. The lubricating grooves are formed with plastic deformation, in a same phase on both the end faces, and extended up to outer peripheral edges and inner peripheral edges of both the end faces. A plurality of intersection points where the lubricating grooves intersect with each other are positioned in other areas than at least one of the outer peripheral edges, radially outer edges of the windows, radially inner edges of the windows, and the inner peripheral edges, of both the end faces. | 07-25-2013 |
