  • Patent number: 8012568
    Abstract: The invention provides a laminated shape-retainable sheet which has such a sufficient shape retainability that a user can give a desired shape easily to the sheet, and requires no press working step for giving a curved shape, a core for a headwear brim using the same, a brim of a headwear, and a headwear. In the laminated shape-retainable sheet of the invention, shape-retainable sheets each comprising a thermoplastic resin and each having shape retainability in a monoaxial direction are laminated and bonded onto each other in such a manner that the monoaxial directions of adjacent sheets out of the shape-retainable sheets make a predetermined angle, in particular, 45 to 90 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20080295958
    Abstract: A polyolefin resin drawn sheet 4 is laminated on at least one face of a sheet-form core material 6 having a density of 30 to 300 kgf/m3. At this time, a sheet or film 5 made of a bonding synthetic resin or rubber having a flow starting temperature lower than the thermal deformation temperature of the core material 6 and the melting point of the drawn sheet 4 is interposed between the core material 6 and the drawn sheet 4. The resultant stack product is heated to not less than the flow starting temperature of the synthetic resin or the rubber and not more than the thermal deformation temperature of the core material 6 and the melting point of the drawn sheet 4. At the same time of or after the heating, the stack product is pressed to apply a compression strain of 0.01 to 10% to the core material 6.

  • Patent number: 7025917
    Abstract: A method for producing a polyolefin stretched sheet which comprises extruding a polyolefin having a weight average molecular weight of 100,000 to 500,000 into a primary sheet, rolling the primary sheet at a rolling magnification of 5 or more, and stretching the rolled sheet into a polyolefin sheet which is totally stretched at a stretching magnification of 15 or more. The method can be employed for producing a polyolefin stretched sheet excellent in creep resistance, tensile strength and modulus in tension, with no use of a ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and with excellent productivity.

  • Patent number: 6688339
    Abstract: A high-pressure composite pipe of the present invention comprises an inner layer pipe made of a synthetic resin, and a reinforcing layer formed by spirally winding a stretched polyolefin resin sheet on an external circumferential surface of the inner layer pipe. The synthetic resin for the inner layer pipe or a heat-sealable resin is filled into a gap defined by the stretched polyolefin resin sheet, thereby avoiding penetration of water from a cut surface of the pipe.

  • Publication number: 20040007279
    Abstract: As the first object, the present invention intends to provide high-pressure composite pipes which show remarkable pressure resistance and optimum applicability in various uses and which can be economically manufactured in a light weight. As the second object, the present invention intends to provide a joining method which is capable of firmly joining the high-pressure composite pipes in a simple operation, firmly joining the high-pressure composite pipes by reinforcing the joint strength at the butt-fused area, and making a joint area adjustable to strain of the high-pressure composite pipes. To achieve these objects, a high-pressure composite pipe of the present invention comprises a pipe-shaped inner layer made of a synthetic resin, a reinforcing layer made of a stretched polyolefin resin sheet and wound on an external circumferential surface of the inner layer, and an outer layer made of a synthetic resin and disposed on an external circumferential surface of the reinforcing layer.
