Abstract: A coating material is a coating material used for applying a coating film formed on a coating made of a zinc-containing material formed in contact with a surface of a metal material and is composed of a binder, a first inorganic material, and a second inorganic material. The binder is composed of an organic resin and does not contain metallic zinc and a zinc alloy. The first inorganic material is composed of a sulfate having a solubility lower than 5 g/100 mL with respect to water. The second inorganic material is soluble in water, exhibits alkalinity if dissolved in water, and has a solubility lower than 5 g/100 mL with respect to water.

Abstract: A dilator (30) insertable into a catheter (20) includes a tubular shaft part (40), and a tubular flexible part (50) located on a distal end side of the shaft part (40) and formed of a resin more flexible than the shaft part (40), and includes, in the shaft part (40) and/or the flexible part (50), a physical property inclined part (42) in which rigidity gradually decreases from a proximal end side toward a distal end side. The catheter assembly is capable of achieving both stable catheter insertability into a blood vessel and reduction in risk of blood vessel perforation.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes multiple stations at each of which at least one player plays a game; multiple screens, at least one of the screens being associated with each of the multiple screens; and a single image projecting device adapted for projecting an image to be displayed on each of the screens. An image to be displayed on each screen is projected from a single image projecting device to each screen, so that it is unnecessary to provide multiple display devices for stations, respectively. Accordingly, the production cost of the game apparatus is low.

Abstract: A medical device in which a part to be secondarily shaped comprises a molded silicone rubber article is subjected to heatless shaping by irradiation with electron-rays. The irradiation with electron-rays enables shaping and, furthermore, sterilization under some conditions. In a medical device comprising a part in which at least a silicone rubber is used and the mechanical properties of the silicone rubber preferentially appear, the shape of the above-described part upon molding is deformed with the use of a correcting member to a level exceeding the desired deformed shape and maintained in this state. Next, electron-ray irradiation is conducted in this state and then the correcting member is eliminated. Thus, the desired deformed shape intermediate between the shape upon the molding and the shape upon the electron-ray irradiation can be obtained.

Abstract: A valve body is formed from an elastic member in the form of an elliptic or circular film (disk shape) having an upper face and a lower face. The valve body has an opening and closing section which is opened and closed in response to insertion and pulling out of a dilator and is formed from a first slit, a second slit, a second concave portion and two third concave portions. A pair of ribs and six projections are formed on the lower face side of the valve body. The ribs are disposed in opposing relationship to each other with the second slit interposed therebetween and extend along the lower face. Further, the projections are disposed such that they are positioned on the inner side of the ribs and are opposed to each other with the second slit interposed therebetween.
