Title: The Innovative Contributions of Shozo Inage
Introduction
Shozo Inage is a notable inventor based in Anjo, Japan, recognized for his contributions to the field of brake technology. With a total of 4 patents to his name, Inage has developed innovative solutions that enhance the performance and reliability of braking systems.
Latest Patents
One of Inage's latest patents is a brake apparatus designed with orifices for restricting brake fluid pressure pulsation. This invention allows a pump to suck brake fluid and discharge it through a pump discharge conduit. The orifices are connected in series with respect to the brake fluid flow discharged from the pump, effectively restricting the flow and gradually decreasing the brake fluid pressure. This design prevents cavitations at the lower reaches of the orifices, thereby reducing undesirable noise in the brake apparatus.
Another significant patent by Inage is a check valve with a vibration prevention function. In this invention, the pressure action direction of a fluid on a valve body is designated as X. The spring receiving surface that abuts the seat surface at one end of the helical compression spring is inclined relative to a surface perpendicular to the pressure action direction X. This unique design allows the urging force of the spring to act obliquely, pressing the valve body against a side wall surface when the valve is opened, thus inhibiting vibrations.
