Abstract: An image transfer sheet includes a withstand voltage layer provided on a surface of a release layer where an image is formed and transferred, and a conductive compressive layer laid on the withstand voltage layer by way of a conductive support layer. The release layer is formed of a fluororesin or an elastomer, and its surface tension is 20 mN/m or less. The release layer has a thickness of 0.01 mm or more. The withstand voltage layer preferably has a thickness of 0.2 mm or more, a volume electrical resistivity within a range of 105 ?-cm through 109 ?-cm at room temperature, and a matrix hardness of 80 JIS-A or less. Further, the conductive compressive layer preferably has a volume electrical resistivity of 104 ?-cm or less at room temperature, and a porosity of 30 to 70%. In addition, the support layer has a volume electrical resistivity similar to that of the conductive compressive layer, and can comprise woven cloth regulated by conductive fibers.

Abstract: In a printing blanket comprising a reinforcement layer formed of more than one sheet of fabric, a compressive layer, and a surface rubber layer laid through a supporting body, the compressive layer is separated by a separation layer so as to be divided into two layers of a first compressive layer and a second compressive layer. Because the compressive layer is formed in a two-layer construction, normal printing pressure and abruptly applied excessive printing pressure can be efficiently absorbed. It is preferable that the first compressive layer close to the surface rubber layer has an air space amount of 0.10-0.20 mm, and the entire part of the first compressive layer and second compressive layer has an air space amount of 0.25 mm or more. It is also preferable that the hardness of the compressive layer is 50-90 JIS-A, and the separation layer has a hardness of 50 JIS-A-80 JID-D and a thickness of 0.05 mm.

Abstract: An ultralow expansion brake rubber hose comprising an inner rubber tube, a first reinforcing layer, a second reinforcing layer and an outer rubber layer, wherein a thermosetting resin which penetrates the reinforcing fibers constituting the first reinforcing layer and which is cured at vulcanizing temperatures is cured by vulcanization to turn the first reinforcing layer into a solid cured layer. By turning the first reinforcing layer into the solid cured layer, the mutual slippage between the reinforcing fibers of the first reinforcing layer can be prevented, and a brake rubber hose having low expansion and excellent durability can be obtained.

Abstract: A pinch roller apparatus which can stably move a tape in accordance with a sufficient self-aligning function is provided. A circular sliding plate brought into contact with both of an upper end surface and a lower end surface of a plain bearing is mounted to a pinch roller shaft so as to restrict an incline of the plain bearing. When setting a length of an axial gap between the circular sliding plate brought into contact with the upper end surface of the plain bearing and the plain bearing to A and a length of an outer diameter of the circular sliding plate to B, the structure is made such as to satisfy a relation 0.007≦A/B≦0.06. Further, when setting a clearance in a diametrical direction between the pinch roller shaft and the sliding surface of the plain bearing to X and an effective length of the sliding surface of the plain bearing to Y, it is preferable to structure so as to satisfy the relation X/Y≧0.052.

Abstract: A refrigerant conveying hose, being wholly made of a synthetic resin, is formed of an inner tube forming an inner side layer, an intermediate layer on the outer periphery surface of the inner tube, a fiber reinforced layer on the outer periphery surface of the intermediate layer and an outer tube forming the outer covering layer.

Abstract: The present invention incorporates a nipple to be inserted inside a hose and a sleeve formed concentrically with the nipple. An annular groove is formed on the outer periphery of the nipple to receive the expanded portion of the rubber toward the tip end of the nipple when the sleeve is caulked and to prevent the rubber from bulging at the tip end of the nipple. The annular groove is configured so that it can receive a portion of the inner rubber wall of hose when the hose is inserted between the nipple and the sleeve when the latter is caulked. The annular groove may be located on the outer periphery of the nipple, such as at a position offset from being in-line with where the sleeve is caulked and nearer to the tip end of the nipple. The number of annular grooves is not limited to one, and may be plural. When plural grooves are formed, they may be arranged adjacent to each other or spaced at a given interval.

Abstract: A latticed packing member for gas-liquid contacting system having an odd number of plural longitudinal strips and an even number of plural lateral strips, the latter number being one less the number of the longitudinal strips. These strips are crossed at right angles on their sides, and the bottom thereof is chamfered. At least one projected area is provided on the strips, on which a notch for engagement is formed. At the center of lattice sections other than sections provided with the projected areas, there is provided a reinforcement with a flat bottom. The longitudinal strip located at the center of the member coincides with the axial center line X of the lateral strip in the direction A of its length, and the axial center line Y of the longitudinal strip in the direction B of its length is formed by the lateral strip which passes the center of the lateral lattice section located at the center. The axial center lines X and Y intersect with each other at the center.

Abstract: A method for continuously vulcanizing hoses which comprises two steps: microwave vulcanization; and conventional vulcanization by heat conduction through a heating medium. A layer of heat-resistant synthetic resin which has a melting point higher than the vulcanizing temperature is provided over the outer periphery of a rubber hose in a uniform thickness. This layer is in close contact with the hose but not adherent thereto. After the resin layer is cooled and hardened, the rubber hose is heated and cured in a microwave vulcanizing tank before being subjected to vulcanization by heat conduction through a heating medium in an ordinary vulcanizing tank. After completion of vulcanization, the layer of synthetic resin is peeled off and removed.

Abstract: A pallet made of synthetic resin and including four corner posts, intermediate posts therebetween, a center post, with hollow edge boards connecting the corner posts and the intermediate posts, and hollow deck boards connecting the intermediate posts and the center post. The pallet is formed from four identical complementary elements combined along two crossed division lines, each element provided with the above described hollow edge boards and hollow deck boards, each of which have flat walls provided at both ends thereof to form a closed hollow space therein. Reinforcing ribs are provided in the hollow space in each of the edge boards such that the reinforcing ribs extend parallel to the side surfaces of the pallet and are disposed such that the ribs meet with one another at right angles in the four corners of the pallet. The pallet is assembled by butt fusing the reinforcing ribs and upper and lower flat walls of the elements together.

Abstract: Method of regeneration of plastics material with higher quality from scrapped plastics, in which scrapped plastics having deteriorated surface layer caused by, such as, exposure to ultraviolet rays etc. are chopped, broken or crushed into fragmented product and this product is subjected to agitation in the presence of aqueous medium and solid particles exhibiting higher hardness than the product to scrape off the deteriorated surface layer of the scrapped plastics, whereupon the plastics material is recovered.
