  • Method of fitting tire-and-wheel assembled body to axle
    Patent number: 6948246
    Abstract: Provided is a method of fitting a tire-and-wheel assembled body to an axle, which is capable of resolving imbalance in a state of fitting an assembled body including a tire and a wheel to an axle. In this fitting method, a tire is fitted to a wheel, and then core positions of fastening holes are, or a core position of a hub hole is, adjusted in the wheel to minimize an amount of eccentricity of an assembled body including the tire and the wheel.

  • Shock absorber for automobile
    Patent number: 6578836
    Abstract: A shock absorber for an automobile which exhibits a vibration damping effect in a wide range of a frequency, while suppressing generation of frictional noise. The shock absorber for the automobile has a buffer member interposed between parts. The buffer member has a laminated structure including a plurality of vibration damping layers each having a peak of loss tangent tan&dgr; in a range of a frequency which is different from others and surface layers made of thermoplastic resin.
