Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a carcass ply and a side wall rubber provided in outer sides of the carcass ply. The carcass ply has joint portions obtained by overlapping end portions of ply members so as to join. At least one of the joint portions is provided with a rubber tape. The rubber tape is interposed between the end portions of the ply members and is exposed to a surface of the carcass ply. A topping rubber of the carcass ply and the side wall rubber are formed by a nonconductive rubber. The rubber tape is formed by a conductive rubber. A conductive route getting to the rubber tape from a ground-contacting surface is formed in a tread portion. A conductive route getting to the rubber tape from an outer surface of a bead portion is formed in the bead portion.

Abstract: A tire has a projecting portion raised from an outer surface of a side portion. A top surface of the projecting portion forms a mark. A colored portion is formed in a region defined by a profile line offset with respect to an outer edge formed by the top surface and an outer side surface. Formed on the top surface between the colored portion and the outer edge is a non-colored portion which exposes a base color of the tire.

Abstract: A bicycle control device is provided with a mounting bracket, a first lever and an adjustment arrangement. The first lever is pivotally arranged relative to the mounting bracket about a first-axis and about a second axis being non-parallel to the first axis. The first lever is configured relative to the mounting bracket such that a free end of the first lever moves closer to the mounting bracket as the first lever pivots about the first axis from a rest position to an operated position. The adjustment arrangement adjusts the rest position of the first lever relative to the mounting bracket around the second operating axis.

Abstract: A screw rotor is for use in a screw pump that pumps fluid by rotation of a pair of screw rotors engaged with each other in a rotor housing. The screw rotor includes a multiple-thread portion for pump suction side and a single-thread portion for pump discharge side. The screw rotor is formed so that the tooth profile of the multiple-thread portion is connected to the tooth profile of the single-thread portion through a boundary plane that is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the screw rotor. The first curved portion coincides with the third curved portion in the boundary plane.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire has an annular bead core, a bead filler, a carcass ply rolled up in such a manner as to pinch the bead core and the bead filler, and a white rubber arranged in an outer side of the carcass ply of the side wall portion. The white rubber has an inner peripheral end positioned in an outer side of the bead filler. The bead filler has a main body rubber portion running into the bead core from a leading end, and a soft rubber portion constructing a part of an outer surface of the bead filler and positioned in an inner side of the inner peripheral end of the white rubber. The soft rubber portion is harder than the white rubber and softer than the main body rubber portion.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire including a white rubber part arranged outward in a tire radial direction than an outer edge of a bead filler in a side wall part, a white letter part projecting from the white rubber part, and a side reinforcement layer extending in a tire radial direction from a bead part is disclosed. An outer peripheral edge of the side reinforcement layer is located outward in a tire radial direction than an inner peripheral edge of a white letter part. When a length in a tire radial direction of from an inner peripheral edge of a bead core to the inner peripheral edge of the white letter part is H1, a length in a tire radial direction of from the inner peripheral edge of the bead core to the outer peripheral edge of the side reinforcement layer is H2, and a length in a tire radial direction of the white letter part is T, (H2?H1)/T is set to be 0.3 or more.

Abstract: A housing of a Roots pump is configured by joining a lower housing member and an upper housing member that are separable from each other. With the upper and lower housing members joined together, an upper accommodating portion and a lower accommodating portion form a front bearing accommodating portion and a rear bearing accommodating portion, which accommodate whole bearings, respectively. The Roots pump further includes bearing holders attached to the bearings and fixed to the lower housing member so that the bearings are received in the lower accommodating portion in a positioned state.

Abstract: A housing (2) of a Roots pump (1) supports a drive shaft (3) and a driven shaft (4) with radial bearings (32, 33) so as to be rotatable. The housing (2) is formed by joining an upper housing member (20) to a lower housing member (10). The lower housing member (10) has lower bearing support portions (13), and the upper housing member (20) has upper bearing support portions (23). Opening edges (13a) of each lower bearing support portion (13) are positioned above the centers (P1) of the bearings (32, 33). An opening width (T1) of each lower bearing support portion (13) is smaller than the diameter (D1) of the bearings (32, 33). This structure suppresses the bearings (32, 33) from being separated from the lower housing member (10) during an assembling operation of the fluid machine.
