  • Patent number: 7371455
    Abstract: A laminate has a core layer and a skin layer on either side of the core layer, wherein the skin layer is formed of a copolymer having a glass transition point of 85° C. or more and 115° C. or below and consisting of 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid or its lower alkyl ester, terephthalic acid or its lower alkyl ester and ethylene glycol or a polymer alloy having a glass transition point of 85° C. or more and 115° C. or below and consisting of polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene-2,6-naphthalate. Thus, it can be used suitably as a packaging container for food and drink, such as jelly containers, which has flavor resistance and aroma retention sufficient not to be limited by types of flavor used for jelly or the like, excels in sealing properties with a lid body, can be hermetically sealed with an easy-peel transparent lid body, and is also superior in gas barrier properties, impact resistance, heat resistance, cost efficiency and transparency.

  • Patent number: 6321772
    Abstract: The air (atmospheric air) is introduced from an atmospheric port, and it is throttled to give a minute amount by means of a bleed hole. The air is introduced into a vacuum chamber via a bleed passage, and it is introduced into a pressure regulator port via a feedback passage. Further, the air is allowed to pass through a space between a seat section and a seal member of a valve plug, and it is drawn toward a vacuum port. Thus, the seal member of the valve plug to be seated on the seat section is prevented from biting into the seat section.

  • Patent number: 4820062
    Abstract: A bearing for the steering wheel shaft of a vehicle comprises a number of needle-like rollers, a retainer retaining the needle-like rollers, a cylindrical race member circumscribing the needle-like rollers, and an elastic cylindrical member fitted over said cylindrical race member. The cylindrical race member has a generally S-shaped split formed over the full axial length thereof and extending more or less obliquely with respect to the axis of the race.Unlike the prior art cylindrical race member having an obliquely extending straight slit, the cylindrical members, even if in a great number, are stored in a single container, they do not catch one another through the slits just like a puzzle ring.
