Title: Keisuke Hori’s Patents in High-Pressure Vessel Technology.

Introduction

Keisuke Hori is an inventor based in Toyota, Japan, whose patent work focuses on high-pressure containers and vessel construction. He is associated with Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha, also known as Toyota Motor Corporation. His listed portfolio includes 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Hori’s recent patents address reinforcement and sealing in high-pressure vessels.

“High-pressure container and shell reinforcing layer wrapping method” describes a container shell with an opening closed by a cap. Its reinforcing layer combines fiber-reinforced resin oriented circumferentially with another layer oriented axially. The axial layer is integrated with and placed over a region of the circumferential layer as the reinforcement is wrapped around the shell.

“High-pressure vessel” describes a vessel with a resin liner and an outer layer made from a resin with a lower linear expansion coefficient. A metal ferrule sits at least partly inside the liner and connects the vessel’s internal space to the outside. A seal member between the ferrule and the liner helps close the gap between them.

Career Highlights

Hori’s listed inventions concern structural reinforcement, material properties, and sealing—features relevant to the design of high-pressure vessels. His work is associated with Toyota Motor Corporation.
