Abstract: The present invention provides a photosensitive material processing apparatus in which a photosensitive material is processed with a processing solution, specifically, a photosensitive material processing apparatus in which: reliable liquid displacement in the vicinity of the surface of a photosensitive material, and uniform temperature adjustment can be carried out; damage to a photosensitive material such as a printing plate, or transport deficiency, caused by a corner of the photosensitive material coming into a through hole when a conveyance path of the photosensitive material is formed can be prevented; when pre-washing processing is carried out prior to development processing using a developer, processing unevenness in which an overcoat layer partially remains can be prevented; an operation of mounting and removing conveyance rollers disposed in a pair is facilitated and a proper nipping force can be imparted between a conveyance roller pair; and mounting of a replenisher case filled with a replenisher

Abstract: A brush roller is structured such that a web body having wire members is wound in a helical manner around a roller main body to which an axial end member is mounted. A fastening member is mounted to a rotary shaft of the axial end member, and one end of the web body is fixed to a holding member which is arranged between the fastening member and the axial end member so as to freely rotate relatively. The holding member relatively rotates in a winding direction due to an urging force of a torsional coil spring when elongation occurs in the web body, thereby preventing slack from occurring in the web body.

Abstract: An electromagnetic spring clutch has an armature (40) which can be moved to and from in the axial direction thereof and cannot be rotated on the axis, and which is biased by a spring (46), and a coil spring (36) which covers over outer faces of a master driving axle (30) and a slave driving axle (34) and which is capable of being wound tightly in the rotational direction of the master driving axle (30). When an electromagnetic coil (20) is not energized, an engagement section (44a) at the end of the armature (40) and a hook (38) of the coil spring (36) are engaged to expand the inner diameter of the coil spring (36) and disconnect the master driving axle (30) and the slave driving axle (34).

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromagnetic spring clutch. A conventional field core is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, so manufacturing such a field core is troublesome and uneconomical. When a through-hole through which shafts are inserted is provided in one or both of vertical walls of a U-shaped plate, a field core is provided simply and inexpensively.

Abstract: Aromatic polyamide having good high-temperature resistance and processing ability is obtained by specifying the ratio of storage modulus at the glass transition temperature (Tg).degree.C. to that of (Tg+100).degree.C.

Abstract: A polyamide and/or polyimide is prepared by using N,N'-dimethylethyleneurea or N,N'-dimethylpropyleneurea as a solvent upon polycondensation of a polycarboxylic acid and a diisocyanate at a temperature above 100.degree. C. in the presence of an alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal hydrogencarbonate, alkali metal hydroxide or an alkali metal salt of a polycarboxylic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for preparing heat-resistant polymers by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of organic polycarboxylic acids and organic polycarboxylic acid anhydrides in the presence of an alkali metal fluoride or an alkali metal fluoride combined with a quaternary onium salt as a catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for preparing heat-resistant polymers by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of organic polycarboxylic acids and organic polycarboxylic acid anhydrides in the presence of an alkali metal fluoride or an alkali metal fluoride combined with a quaternary onium salt as a catalyst.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of polyamide compounds by reacting at least one polycarboxylic acid with at least one diisocyanate in the presence of a catalyst comprising at least one mono-alkali metal salt of dicarboxylic acid. The polyamide compounds prepared by this process have a substantially linear configuration and a high degree of polymerization and, therefore, are suitable for the manufacture of fibers, films and molded articles.
