  • Publication number: 20020016120
    Abstract: A non-woven fabric comprising staple fibers, having a fiber length of 3 to 25 mm and a single fiber fineness of 1 to 100 denier, and is produced by the fibers being dropped while being dispersed to be accumulated and adhered at the intersection point of the staple fibers. The non-woven fabric has a specific volume of 40 to 200 cm3/g, and the number of fiber lumps having a volume of not less than 1 mm3 is not more than 5 lumps per 20 g of the non-woven fabric. The bulky non-woven fabric of the present invention in which the sufficient contribution to bulkiness by fibers is exhibited is suitable for sanitary materials, such as disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinence pads, nursing pads or the like, or wipes etc.

  • Patent number: 5987754
    Abstract: An electric cable cutter is provided which can shorten the working time period, which allows the cutting work to be performed with a rotational torque corresponding to the kind of a work piece, and which has a clutch mechanism that, when a torque repulsion force of a predetermined level or higher is exerted, can cut off a power transmission mechanism.In a configuration wherein the rotational torque of an electric motor is transmitted to a cutter unit via a planetary gear reduction mechanism, the torque is transmitted via a plurality of gears (a constrained-gear train) which are rotatably disposed on a stationary portion and function as means for transmitting the rotational torque from a driving gear disposed in the final stage of the planetary gear reduction mechanism to a rotary blade.

  • Patent number: 5642566
    Abstract: An electric cable cutter of the present invention comprises a housing, and a stationary blade and a moving blade which are exposed from the housing. The housing includes a body unit containing an electric motor and a planetary reduction gear driven by the electric motor, a handle unit formed so as to be easily held by hand, and a power source unit to which a battery cartridge is inserted. A switch lever for operating the switch to drive the electric motor is placed on the holding unit. Owing to this structure, a user easily cuts a cable by one hand at the inconvenient places, e.g., at height. This electric cable cutter is portable because of the rechargeable battery, so that this cutter can be utilized in any place.
