Title: Innovations by Inventor Hideki Imai

Introduction

Hideki Imai is a notable inventor based in Nagoya, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of control cables, holding a total of 2 patents. His work reflects a commitment to enhancing the functionality and efficiency of control mechanisms.

Latest Patents

Imai's latest patents include a "Push Pull Type Control Cable" and a "Conduit for a Control Cable." The push pull type control cable features a conduit with a tubular liner made of plastic material. A wire is designed by winding a diameter-reduced side wire around a core wire, allowing for axial movement within the liner. The outer surface of the side wire is coated with zinc plating, with a thickness ranging from 5.0 µm to 20 µm. The core wire is made of steel, with a diameter between 1.2 mm and 1.6 mm. The side wire consists of a row of steel lines wound around the core wire at a predetermined lead angle of 13 to 25 degrees, with each steel line having a diameter ranging from 0.25 mm to 0.60 mm. The conduit for a control cable ensures good rigidity of a stranded portion while maintaining a diameter of 8.0 mm or less. A combinatorial relationship between the number of strand line elements and their diameter is established to secure a greater polar moment of inertia.
