Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for manufacturing activated carbon fiber, which enables continuous production with high productivity. This apparatus is configured in a U-shape and comprises the first vertical furnace, the second vertical furnace, and the connecting portion to connect both furnaces at the lower parts. This apparatus employs neither the air curtain method nor the water seal method that requires drying process to shut off air from the furnace. In this apparatus, raw materials are introduced from the inlet on the upper part of the first furnace. Then they are subjected to pyrolysis, carbonization, and activation as they pass through the first furnace, connecting portion and the second vertical furnace. Finally they are taken up from the outlet on the upper part of the second furnace to be an active carbon fiber product.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric, particularly composed by long-stock synthetic resin yarns such as polyethylene and polypropylene is provided at one or both surfaces thereof with an ink-setting layer formed by coating, drying and curing a resin composition containing some of acrylic resins, synthetic rubbers and polyester resins. The ink-setting layer is excellent in the transfer property and fixing ability to an oil ink which is ordinarily used for offset printing, and prevents the nonwoven fabric from being swelled or transformed by a petroleum high-boiling-point solvent contained in the oil ink. Preferably, a low-temperature cross-linking agent is incorporated with the resin composition of the ink-setting layer so as to complete cross-linking of the resin composition at a low temperature at which heat shrinkage or heat damage of the nonwoven fabric will not be caused, in a shortened period of time.

The water jet type nonwoven fabric is made from crowded finer fiber staples, and bits formed therein by penetration of needles of a needle punching machine may be stopped up by centripetally moving fiber staples surrounding the bits.

Abstract: This invention relates to a transparent plastic printing film suitable for offset printing or letterpress printing where an oil ink of the oxidative polymerization type is used. An ink-setting layer composed principally of a rubbery resin and/or styrene resin is provided on at least one side of a transparent plastic film, whereby the transparent plastic printing film permits lithographic offset or the like without losing the transparency of the film. Fine ruggedness may be formed on at least one side of the transparent plastic printing film. The transparent plastic printing film may also be subjected to an antistatic treatment. Sheet-fed printing making use of the above film does not develop blocking, tacking, scratch abrasion, etc. The above-described various properties have been improved further in a transparent plastic printing film provided with an ink-setting layer, which has been formed by coating a mixture of (i) a solution of the rubbery resin and/or styrene resin and (ii) a silica sol.

Abstract: A resilient adhesive resin tab adapted to permanently secure paper sheets thereto by edge-binding in a hot melt condition is, at one extreme side peripheral area thereof, bonded or heat-sealed to a width-adjustable backbone of a bookbinding cloth. The adhesive tab may be split, before use, along a selective one of a plurality of equally spaced, lengthwise extending slit rows, to adjust the width in conformity with a thickness of the paper sheets to be edge-bound. One of side extensions formed integrally with the backbone is larger than the other which improves applicability of this bookbinding cloth to bookbinding into a variable thick booklet by folding back the extended portion of the larger side extension in dependence upon the adjusted width of the backbone. The folded end is bonded to the larger side extension by adhesive.
