  • Patent number: 6534234
    Abstract: A package of photosensitive planographic printing plates which comprises a stack of the photosensitive planographic printing plates between each of which a protection paper is interposed, wherein the coefficient of static friction between the surface of the photosensitive layer of the photosensitive planographic printing plate and the surface of the protection paper is 0.3 or more. In the package, slippage between the photosensitive planographic printing plate and the protection paper and abrasion of the photosensitive layer rarely occur through transport.

  • Publication number: 20020170842
    Abstract: In a method of packaging planographic printing plates disclosed herein, a stack is formed by planographic printing plates and interleaf sheets, or by only planographic printing plates. The stack is packaged with internal packaging paper without using conventional protective cardboard. In a packaging structure for planographic printing plates, the stack is loaded on a loading member and a top plate is placed on the stack. The stack and the loading member are integrally bound with a fixing band made of resin without using a conventional bolt-fastening operation. A reinforcing plate is fixed onto the top plate correspondingly to the fixing band so as to prevent bending or deformation of the top plate.

  • Patent number: 6471062
    Abstract: A packaging box is formed by a bottom surface member disposed at the side of a bottom surface of goods to be packaged, and a top surface member disposed at the side of a top surface of the goods to be packaged. The bottom surface member includes a base panel, side panels formed extending integrally from the base panel and further shaped to correspond to side surfaces of the goods to be packaged. An attachment panel extends integrally from the end of each side panel. The top surface member and base panel typically include corrugations. The corrugations in each item are preferably oriented generally transverse to one another, thereby increasing the strength of the structure without requiring additional material.

  • Patent number: 6470649
    Abstract: A pallet includes a loading member made from paper onto which a load is loaded; leg members made from paper which are fixed to the loading member and, as well as supporting the loading member when a load is loaded on the loading member, form an insert body receiving member into which is inserted an insert body used during transportation; and a base member made from paper which is fixed to the opposite side of the leg members to the loading member. A load is loaded onto the loading member of this type of pallet and is intermediately packaged with intermediate packaging material in a process including a load loading step for loading the load onto the loading member; and a fastening step for fastening the intermediate packaging material with which the load was intermediately packaged in the intermediate packaging step to the loading member.

  • Publication number: 20020156276
    Abstract: Disclosed are compounds represented by formula (I) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates thereof. The compounds can inhibit the biosynthesis of triglycerides in the liver and can inhibit the secretion of lipoprotein containing apolipoprotein B from the liver. Therefore, they are useful for the prevention or treatment of hyperlipidemia (particularly hyper-very-low-density-lipoproteinemia) and arteriosclerotic diseases, such as cardiac infarction, or pancreatitis induced by hyperlipidemia.

  • Publication number: 20020060815
    Abstract: A method for measuring strength of an image forming surface of a planographic printing plate. In this method, an image forming surface of a planographic printing plate is contacted with a non-image forming surface of another planographic printing plate, a weight of predetermined mass is placed thereon, and the planographic printing plates are slid against each other in a direction along the image forming surface. A maximum value of pressure that does not generate damage when applied to the image forming surface of the lower planographic printing plate is used as strength of the image forming surface. By stacking and packaging planographic printing plates having an image forming surface strength of no less than a specified value, damage to the image forming surfaces of the planographic printing plates in a packaged state can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20020045052
    Abstract: The interleaf paper for covering a photosensitive printing plate material which is coated with a water-soluble oxidization preventing layer, is characterized in that the interleaf paper has air permeability of between about 15 seconds and about 300 seconds. If the photosensitive printing plate material is covered with the interleaf paper, it is possible to release the interleaf paper in the automatic interleaf paper releasing apparatus and stabilize the sensitivity of the photosensitive printing plate material in a short period of time.

  • Publication number: 20010036597
    Abstract: An interleaf sheet is formed by adding a sizing agent into a slurry of bleached kraft pulp or by applying a sizing agent onto a surface of the interleaf sheet which surface contacts a planographic printing plate. The sizing agent is used for the interleaf sheet so as to easily adjust the release properties of the interleaf sheet with respect to the surface (i.e., a water-soluble polymer layer) of the planographic printing plate and to suppress changes in the release properties with the passage of time.
