Takanori FURUI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11441260
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sheet-like material in which a plant-derived raw material of low environmental impact is used. The invention also provides a sheet-like material that ideally has a uniform and refined nap and a sheet-like material that is strong, has excellent shape stability, is lightweight and is very pliable. This sheet-like material is characterized in being made of nonwoven fabric that is made of polyester microfiber containing a 1,2-propanediol-derived component in an amount prescribed in the present application and a polyurethane elastomer resin containing structural monomers prescribed in the present application.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 13, 2022
    Assignee: TORAY INDUSTRIES, INC.

  • Patent number: 10064500
    Abstract: An article moving device includes a plurality of roller members, a base member which has a bottom plate section and a peripheral wall section and accommodates the plurality of roller members, and a plate-shaped cover member which is detachably attached to the peripheral wall section so as to cover an opening section surrounded by the peripheral wall section, wherein the base member is formed of a material having a flexural modulus of 2500 MPa to 4000 MPa, a first parameter of 7.00 to 18.00, as calculated by the formula: flexural modulus (MPa)×yield stress in tension (MPa)×thickness (mm)/density (g/cm3)/100000, and a second parameter of 2.00 to 10.00, as calculated by the formula: first parameter×nominal tensile strain at break (%)/100.
