Abstract: In a vehicle side sill structure in which a side sill portion having a substantially closed cross section extending in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body is provided at the side of the vehicle body, a pipe member is disposed inside the side sill portion in such a manner as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and at least two concave portions (fragile portions) are formed in a side portion of the pipe member. Further, a reinforcing member is disposed substantially along the side portion of the pipe member, and cooperates with the side portion to form a second closed section. This enables proper deformation particularly during side impact with a simple structure.

Abstract: A transfer fabric for conveying wet paper from a sheet forming part to a hydro-extracting part and a papermaking machine using the same are disclosed. A transfer fabric for receiving from a paper forming fabric the wet paper formed by a sheet forming part and delivering the wet paper into a hydro-extracting part as the subsequent step. The transfer fabric is a clothed net produced by preparing as wefts such yarns having both monofilaments and plain threads of a small diameter so bound as to interpose water absorbing gaps therebetween on the running side face side and plain threads of a small diameter so bound as to interpose water absorbing gaps therebetween on the wet paper receiving face side, and as warps monofilaments or twisted monofilaments, laying the wefts in a plurality of layers and the warps in a single layer, and weaving the wefts and said warps.

Abstract: A press fabric for a pulp machine is a weft-abrading type fabric manufactured by weaving a warp monofilament and a bundled yarn. The bundled yarn has fine water-sucking spaces formed between raw filaments of a small diameter by bundling up the raw filaments. Monofilaments may also be used as the wefts in combination with the bundled yarns. The bundled yarn forms the most protuberant crimp to the surface of the fabric. The press fabric for a pulp machine is excellent in water-sucking ability, washing ability, showering resistance, and abrasion resistance.

Abstract: A pair of cylindrical impact absorbing members, which is unintegrated with side members and is formed to have a substantially equilateral octagonal sectional form, is fixed on the side members in such a manner as to extend forward from the side members. Since the impact absorbing members are unintegrated with the side members, the impact absorbing members can be formed of optimum material with an optimum board thickness and can be formed to have an ideal sectional form by an optimum forming process under no restriction from a manufacturing method and the like for the side member.

Abstract: According to a body structure of the present invention, a floor panel member is reinforced by a pair of first members, and the second member comprised of plural pipes is disposed along the width of a vehicle so as to integrate the first members 1. An end of the second member is extended along the longitudinal side of the vehicle and is fixed by welding in the state of penetrating into a side sill. There is no necessity of providing any reinforcement material because the second member has a high strength continuously along the width of the vehicle. Moreover, there is no necessity of increasing a board thickness for the purpose of securing the rigidity because the second member penetrates into the side sill. On the other hand, the second member can be manufactured by cutting an existing steel pipe to a predetermined side, and it is therefore possible to cope with the change in the width of the vehicle only by changing a cutting size.

Abstract: A forming belt and/or a transfer belt which are belts for a forming part of an apparatus for manufacturing a construction material, prevent stains caused by entry of raw material particles and has excellent rigidity and cleanability.

Abstract: An endless woven fabric for condensing paper material and a method for forming such an endless fabric which removes ink and other extraneous substances from the aqueous solution of reclaimed paper material. On the endless fabric formed by weaving plastic monofilaments, an antiflexing part, 30-50 mm in width, is provided on at least one end of the selvage in the direction of width by causing thermoplastic resin to fill not less than 85% of an empty space in the endless woven fabric. Further, a guide ridge of thermoplastic resin is formed by causing thermoplastic resin to fill an empty space in the end parts on the running surface of the endless fabric, and is welded with the antiflexing part integrally. Platelike reinforcing strips are formed in a length nearly equal to the width of the endless fabric. The strips are extended between the opposite ends of the endless fabric by causing thermoplastic resin of the strips to fill not less than 85% of an empty space in the endless fabric.

Abstract: An extendable and heat shrinkable polyamide monofilament which has an extension of 6% or more to a loading variation in the range of 1.25 g/d-1.75 g/d and a heat shrinkage factor of 7% or more on immersing said monofilament into boiling water. The recited polyamide monofilament is woven into a wear-resistant fabric such as a papermaking fabric.

Abstract: In a single-layer paper making woven fabric of more than five shafts, auxiliary wefts each having a smaller diameter than that of the primary wefts are disposed between each of the primary wefts. Each of the auxiliary wefts is woven twice into a repeating unit of a texture by a warp. Each auxiliary weft is placed over at least two other warps extending above two adjacent primary wefts. The auxiliary wefts are pushed or urged upwardly thereof by these at least two other warps in order to form a flat paper making surface of the fabric, whereby wire marks on a paper are reduced.

Abstract: A weft-water type n-shaft papermakers' fabric has a running side surface and a papermaking side surface, in which n is an integer of at least 6. The fabric has warps and wefts forming the running side surface, the wefts consisting of both short crimp-forming wefts, which cross two or more warps, and long crimp-forming wefts which have a length more than 1.5 times the length of the short crimp. The improvement in crimpiness permits the use of large wefts having a large diameter. The arrangement of the running side surface does not affect the papermaking side surface of a double layer, triple layer or other multilayer weave.

Abstract: A papermakers' double layer type fabric comprises in one repeat a warp layer consisting of n (an integer of at least 7).times.2 of warps, and n (an integer of at least 7).times.2 of wefts arranged on the warp layer as the upper surface wefts and n (an integer of at least 7).times.2 of wefts arranged under the warp layer as the lower surface wefts. The lower surface wefts consist of polyester yarns and polyamide yarns, the lower surface polyamide wefts being each interlaced once in one repeat with a warp and the lower surface polyester wefts being each interlaced once or twice in one repeat with a warp.

Abstract: In a single-layer papermaking woven fabric or more than three shafts having an extended running surface formed from long crimped primary wefts, auxiliary wefts each having a smaller diameter than that of primary wefts are each disposed between each of primary wefts. Every auxiliary weft is placed on warps at portions extended from the paper side of where warps are primary weft to the running said of the succeeding primary weft or at portions where warps are extended from the running side of a primary weft to the paper side of the succeeding primary weft. Each of said auxiliary wefts is woven into texture of the fabric at least once in a repeating unit by a warp to thereby complete the repeating unit.
