Patent number: 6749767Abstract: A mixed powder useful as a starting material for dust core comprises a uniform mixture of a soft magnetic powder and a binder resin so that the resultant dust core has an electric resistance capable of suppressing an eddy current between the soft magnetic powdery particles and high mechanical strength at room temperatures and also at high temperatures. In the mixed powder, the binder resin is made of a phenolic resin powder which has a methylol groups in the molecule and preferably has an average particle size of 30 &mgr;m or below and wherein when the phenolic resin powder is dissolved in boiling methanol in large excess, a content of an undissolved matter is at least 4 wt % based on the total of the phenolic resin. A dust core obtained from the mixed powder and its fabrication method are also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2002Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Inventors: Hiroyuki Mitani, Tsukasa Yuri, Kazuhisa Fujisawa, Yoshikazu Seki, Masahiro Murakami, Hirofumi Houjou

Patent number: 6604848Abstract: In the case of thickening a feed resin without pre-drying, a device is taught to enhance the thickening effect. The device includes a chamber 4 having a mixing rotor therein for continuously mixing a resin between a feed port 2 and a discharge port 3. A plurality of vent ports 7 connected to vacuum pumps 8, 9 are provided for reducing the pressure in the chamber. An element, e.g. a screw feeder 10, is provided for introducing a viscosity-increasing chemical agent into the chamber. The screw feeder is isolated from the reduced pressure areas of the chamber by elements 35, e.g. reverse screw flights of the rotor. In operation, feed resin from a hopper 6 enters the chamber through port 2 and is dehydrated while being continuously mixed in a drying section 14 via vents 7. After addition of the chemical agent, the resin is continuously mixed in a thickening section 15 while being deaerated.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2002Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Tatsuya Tanaka, Kazuhisa Fujisawa, Kazuko Saka, Tomoji Takahashi, Koichi Fukushima, Yasuaki Yamane

Publication number: 20030122284Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a bladder which is unlikely to have a shapal variation along the inner wall surface of the tire and can satisfactorily extend along the inner wall surface of the tire. An inventive bladder is used to press the inner wall surface of the tire by a pressurized heating medium during the vulcanization of a green tire and is comprised of a fabric layer (purl stitched fabric layer 12) and rubber layers (silicone rubber layers 11, 13) placed one over another. Elongation rates of the fabric layer in warp direction and in weft direction both exceed 15% and satisfy: 0.4≦elongation rate in weft direction/elongation rate in warp direction≦6.0. Since the fabric layer has good extensibility, it can elongate with the rubber layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2002Publication date: July 3, 2003Applicant: TEIJIN LIMITEDInventors: Hiroyuki Mori, Yozaburo Takayama, Kazuhisa Fujisawa, Hisashi Mitamura, Kazuto Okada, Naoya Fujiwara, Eiichiro Yoshikawa, Takayuki Kogishi

Patent number: 6551085Abstract: A bladder for a vulcanizer includes, as a constituent member, a low elongation material with stable properties at vulcanization temperatures. During a vulcanization-molding process, the bladder is pressed against the inner surface of a green tire using a pressurized medium. The pressurized medium can be at vulcanization temperatures. The bladder has substantially the same shape as the inner wall surface of the tire that is formed using the bladder. As a result, irregularities in the shape of the inner wall surface of a tire rarely occur, and the frequency of exchange of bladders can be reduced. The vulcanizer bladder can include a conductive material or a magnetic material, both of which can be heated by using an induction heating coil. The use of both heat from the pressurized medium and heat generated in the bladder to vulcanize a green tire can shorten the period of time required for vulcanizing-molding.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2000Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Kobe Steel, Ltd.Inventors: Hisashi Mitamura, Yasuhiko Fujieda, Kazuhisa Fujisawa, Kazuto Okada, Akira Sakurai, Hirohiko Fukumoto

Patent number: 6409949Abstract: A polyester resin is thickened in a chamber 4 by first introducing the feed resin through a port 2 and dehydrating in a drying section 14 under reduced pressure. A chemical agent is then added to the dehydrated feed resin and mixed therewith in a thickening section 15. The mixing occurs while deaerating under reduced pressure. The chemical agent functions to either increase the viscosity of the feed resin or suppress the lowering thereof.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho (Kobe Steel, Ltd.)Inventors: Tatsuya Tanaka, Kazuhisa Fujisawa, Kazuko Saka, Tomoji Takahashi, Koichi Fukushima, Yasuaki Yamane

Patent number: 5895538Abstract: A truss type extruded aluminum section is formed of a pair of planar plates and ribs, wherein hollow portions are formed within said section by the ribs and the planar plates. Vibration-damping resin is provided on the inner surfaces of hollow portions, and particularly on the inner surface of the planar plate and on a single surface of the inclined rib. With this arrangement, the vibration energy bending the planar plate and the rib is converted into a heat energy. In the case of manufacturing such truss type extruded aluminum vibration-damping section, for making easy the insertion of the vibration-damping resin in the hollow portion, the vibration-damping resin is stuck on a plastic film to form a long planar body. The plastic film serves as a cover or an adhesive. Moreover, in the case of directly inserting the vibration-damping resin sheet, the vibration-damping resin sheet is subjected to embossing on the adhesive-bonding side for allowing air to escape.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 1997Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Tadashi Hatayama, Ichiro Yamagiwa, Kenshi Maekawa, Kenji Iwai, Toshimitsu Tanaka, Mamoru Taniuchi, Reiji Sanuki, Isamu Ueki, Toshihiko Sasaki, Akio Sugimoto, Kazuhisa Fujisawa
