Abstract: A method for removing keratotic plugs capable of sufficiently exhibiting an excellent keratotic plug-removing effect without a burden, such as pam and of irritation, on the skin. The method comprises applying a composition comprising (X) one or more selected from (X1) 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol, (X2) 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, and (X3) 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and a nonionic surfactant to the skin.

Abstract: In winding up a sheet web coated with a tacky adhesive, a roll changing method is provided which obviates the necessity of applying an adhesive. When changing the sheet web from a full wind roll wound up on a turret winder to a new core tube, the new core tube is revolved in reverse to the rotational direction of the turret, the sheet is cut between the full wind roll now turned by the turret and the new core tube revolving in reverse to it at a winding location, the adhesive side of the end of the cut sheet in the running direction is pressed and attached to the surface of the new core tube under reverse revolution and concurrently, the attached sheet is folded back, and the sheet web continuing from it is wound onto the new core tube, with its adhesive side being a surface side.

Abstract: A heater tool, which bonds by thermocompression outer leads of a TCP to electrodes on an array substrate, is fixed to a support block and is movable between a compression-bonding position, wherein the distal end portion of the heater tool presses the TCP to compression-bond the outer leads to the electrodes of the array substrate, and a waiting position wherein the distal end portion is spaced apart from the TCP. A pressing mechanism having a pressing member is mounted on the support block and movable in interlock with the movement of the heater tool. The pressing member presses the TCP to press the outer leads against the array substrate when the heater tool moves from the waiting position toward the compression bonding position.
