Publication number: 20240091126Abstract: Base coat as an example of a resin composition for a cosmetic is a resin composition for a cosmetic used in a cosmetic to be adhered to nail as a part of living body. The resin composition for a cosmetic includes a stimulus-responsive material that undergoes a volume change by external stimuli, the external stimuli excluding both an external stimulus due to contact with a solvent and an external stimulus due to contact with a solution, and a solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic has a surface with a water contact angle between 30° and 110° (inclusive). The solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic undergoes the volume change by application of the external stimuli to reduce strength of adhesion to the part of living body.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Tomoko KAWASHIMA, Taiki UMEMOTO, Keitaro AMARI, Yuko TANIIKE, Haruka KUSUKAME, Shinsuke KAWAGUCHI, Toshiyuki KOMATSU

Patent number: 9415412Abstract: An atomizer is provided to include a pivot member mounted on an upper portion of a device body so as to pivot up and down. The pivot member includes a holding portion configured to hold a vibrating plate movable up and down relative to the pivot member so as to bring the vibrating plate into face contact with the upper end surface of a wick by its own weight when the pivot member pivots downward. The device body includes a restriction portion that comes into contact with the pivot member to restrict the pivoting downward of the pivot member, while the vibrating plate is in face contact with the upper end surface of the wick.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Sumitomo Chemical Company, LimitedInventors: Shinsuke Kawashima, Daisuke Takahata

Patent number: 7702276Abstract: An automatic document feeder (3) has a front plate (12) located on one of opposite sides of the document feeder in a direction orthogonal to a feeding direction of documents P on a document tray (4), and on the side opposed to an operator. A rear plate (13) is on the other side opposed to the front plate (12). An intermediate transport unit (32) located between the front plate (12) and the rear plate (13) has a frame with an outer wall surface (37) serving as a lower guide surface of document transport path. The front plate (12) has an outer edge (33) at a height equal to or lower than the outer wall surface (37), so as to allow the operator to visually check the document (P) on the outer wall surface (37) from the direction orthogonal to the feeding direction of the documents (P).Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2006Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventor: Shinsuke Kawashima

Patent number: 7677551Abstract: A document conveying apparatus (1) includes a conveying unit (30) inside a document feeding section (10), and the conveying unit (30) includes two fans (34) for cooling the inside of the document conveying apparatus (1). The fans (34) are arranged to pass air from upstream to downstream with respect to the document conveying direction. Thus, the stream of air produced by the fan (34) flows along the document conveying direction so that a document sheet is conveyed without being affected by a braking effect. Moreover, the air stream produced by the fan (34) flows along the document conveying passage (13) both on the air intake side and the air exhaust side of the fan (34). This facilitates the conveying of a document sheet by pulling it on the air intake side of the fan (34) and pushing it on the air exhaust side of the fan (34).Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2007Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Shinsuke Kawashima, Katsuhiro Yoshiuchi

Patent number: 6718153Abstract: In a developing device according to the present invention, a developing roller 8 has a fixed shaft 12 and a sleeve 13. The length of a draw-up magnetic pole N3 provided in the fixed shaft 12 is made shorter than the length of a main magnetic pole N1. Accordingly, the amount of a developer adhering to both ends of an outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 13 is reduced, so that the density of the developer at both the ends of the sleeve 13 is maintained in suitable conditions in a state where the developer is over the main magnetic pole N1.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2002Date of Patent: April 6, 2004Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Ryoji Nishimura, Yasuyuki Hirai, Kotaro Kawasaki, Satoru Yonemoto, Naoyuki Ishida, Yukihiro Ito, Hideki Kitagawa, Hideki Takeda, Shinsuke Kawashima

Patent number: 6658223Abstract: A cleaning device according to the present invention has first seals and a second seal adhered so as to partly overlap each other for sealing a space between a housing of the cleaning device and the surface of a photoreceptive member. The first seals include seal bases and a flocked sheet layered on the seal bases. The portion of the seal base where the second seal overlaps is made smaller in thickness than the portion of the seal base where the second seal does not overlap. Therefore, no step is formed in the overlapped portion, thereby preventing toner leakage.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Kyocera Mita CorporationInventors: Ryoji Nishimura, Shinsuke Kawashima, Tsuyoshi Koyanagi, Satoru Yonemoto, Yuzo Onishi, Hironori Takahashi

Publication number: 20030099480Abstract: A cleaning device according to the present invention has first seals 7 and a second seal 6 adhered so as to partly overlap each other for sealing a space between a housing 3 of the cleaning device and the surface of a photoreceptive member. The first seals 7 include seal bases 13, 14 and a flocked sheet 12 layered on the seal bases 13, 14. The portion of the seal base 14 where the second seal 6 overlaps is made smaller in thickness than the portion of the seal base 13 where the second seal 6 does not overlap. Therefore, no step is formed in the overlapped portion, thereby preventing toner leakage.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2002Publication date: May 29, 2003Inventors: Ryoji Nishimura, Shinsuke Kawashima, Tsuyoshi Koyanagi, Satoru Yonemoto, Yuzo Onishi, Hironori Takahashi
