  • Patent number: 11456581
    Abstract: In a vehicle body, a body portion having a base end side portion is engaged with a plate-shaped member and extending along the plate-shaped member toward the leading end side, and a removal-preventing portion for preventing the wire harness stored in a space between the plate-shaped member and the body portion from being removed from the leading end side of the body portion. The wire harness stored in the space is prevented from being removed at the leading end side of the body portion by the removal-preventing portion pivoting according to the storage. By a series of rotations of the removal-preventing portion up to the storage, a pivotal body upper portion of the removal-preventing portion disposed at a high position in a height direction extending from the plate-shaped member is moved to a lower position, thereby reducing the height of the entirety of the routing structure.

  • Patent number: 11359116
    Abstract: Conventionally, there was a need to add a large amount of electroconductive particles for improving conductivity, but when the electroconductive particles were added too much, initial viscosity was increased, and at the same time, it was difficult to stabilize preservation stability. However, conductivity can be improved without adding a large amount of the electroconductive particles by selecting a monomer, and at the same time, preservation stability can be stabilized by using certain electroconductive particles. A thermocurable electroconductive adhesive including components (A) to (D): component (A): an oligomer having a (meth)acryl group; component (B): a monomer having one methacryl group in a molecule; component (C): an organic peroxide having a specific structure; and component (D): electroconductive particles which are surface-treated with a stearic acid.

  • Publication number: 20220064459
    Abstract: An ink composition contains colored cellulose fibers and a dispersion medium containing water and a water-soluble organic solvent in a weight percentage of 1% to 95%. The ink composition contains colored cellulose fibers acting as the color material capable of being easily trapped in the meshes of the printing medium, that is, the color material having a small diffusion coefficient into the printing medium, and has a wettability as high as a contact angle of 90 degrees or less on the printing medium. Thus, the bleeding and strike-through of the ink composition can be prevented when the printing medium is printed.
