  • Publication number: 20180297332
    Abstract: There is provided an interlayer film for laminated glass with which an air bubble can be made difficult to be left behind between a lamination glass member and the interlayer film when laminated glass is obtained. The interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention contains a thermoplastic resin and has one end and the other end being at the opposite side of the one and and having a thickness thicker than the one end, each of three values of the ten-point average roughness Rz of the surface at a position apart from the one end by 50 mm toward the other end, the ten-point average roughness Rz of the surface at a center position between the one end and the other end, and the ten-point average roughness Rz of the surface at a position apart from the other end by 50 mm toward the one end is 20 ?m or more, and a value calculated by subtracting the smallest value among the three values from the largest value among the three values is 3 ?m or more and 9 ?m or less.

  • Patent number: 5834752
    Abstract: A rotary touch scanner for reading a bar code pattern includes: an outer frame formed with an opening portion, a rotary ring rotatably housed in the outer frame, a plurality of convex lenses mounted on an outer periphery of the rotary ring at regular angular intervals, rotary ring rotating device associated with the rotary ring, and a light receiving element disposed at a center of the rotary ring and having a light receiving surface directed to the opening portion of the outer frame; light scattered from a bar code label disposed in front of the opening portion of the outer frame being condensed and further focused onto the light receiving surface of the light receiving element as a real image through one of the convex lenses rotated by the rotary ring rotating device, continuously.
