Abstract: An inertia damper is capable of exhibiting satisfactory endurance. In the inertia damper, when an inertia weight element directly carrying out a damping action and a gel element are combined together, the gel element is interposedly arranged between the outer periphery of the inertia weight element and the inner surface of a peripheral cover section of a holding member of a mount base. This permits the area of arrangement of the gel element to be increased to significantly reduce loading per unit area of the gel element, thereby improving the endurance.

Abstract: A stepping motor is capable of exhibiting a function as an inertia damper as well as its primary function. The stepping motor includes a gel element arranged in one or both of a space between a casing and a stator and a space between an output shaft of the motor and a rotor, resulting in vibration generated at the time of starting of the stepping motor being effectively absorbed.

Abstract: A figure adjusting pad capable of permitting mold release to be readily carried out, being significantly improved in air-permeability, preventing a wearer from having an unpleasant feeling toward it when it is worn and eliminating ply separation with use. The figure adjusting pad includes a pad body including a foamed layer increased in air-permeability and arranged on a rear side thereof and a silicone gel layer arranged on a front side thereof which are laminated on each other. The pad also includes a cover sheet for covering an outer surface of the pad body, which includes a facing sheet for covering a front side of the pad body and a backing sheet for covering a rear side of the pad body. The facing sheet includes a knitted web increased in stretchability arranged on a front side thereof and a polyurethane film arranged on a rear side thereof and laminated on the knitted web.

Abstract: A figure adjusting pad is capable of permitting mold release to be readily carried out and is significantly improved in air-permeability, thus preventing a wearer from having an unpleasant feeling toward it when it is worn, and eliminating ply separation with use. The figure adjusting pad includes a pad body including a foamed layer increased in air-permeability and arranged on a wrong side thereof and a silicone gel layer arranged on a right side thereof, which are laminated on each other. The pad also includes a cover sheet for covering an outer surface of the pad body, which includes a facing sheet for covering a front side of the pad body and a backing sheet for covering a rear side of the pad body. The facing sheet includes a knitted web increased in stretchability arranged on a front side thereof and a polyurethane film arranged on a rear side thereof and laminated on the knitted web.

Abstract: A figure adjusting pad is capable of permitting a periphery of the pad to exhibit satisfactory shape retention without any independent core. The pad includes a silicone gel element formed therein with perforations and a stretchable fabric arranged for covering the silicone gel element and is trimmed. The perforations of the silicone gel element are formed by traces defined by elution of particles incorporated in a silicone gel stock solution for the silicone gel element. The trimmed portion includes the silicone gel element and is double-sewn together with the silicone gel element.

Abstract: A ball hitting sports tool has a ball hitting part and a grip part which is integrated with the ball hitting part through a stem and at least one of the ball hitting part, stem and grip part is provided with a buffer part in which a gel material with a penetration value of approximately 50 to 200 is used as a buffer material.

Abstract: A racket for playing tennis or similar ball games having a straight bar type stem part which continues to an annular ball hitting part. A hole is provided in the stem part in which a vibration absorbing member is stored. Said vibration absorbing member comprises a buffer layer made of a gel material and a mass member supported by this buffer layer. The buffer layer is fixed so that it can be deformed in said hole and said mass member is supported so that it does not contact the internal surface of the hole. Said vibration absorbing member can be put in an outer casing and inserted into the hole. In this case, the buffer layer is deformed in the outer casing and the mass member is held so that it does not contact the internal surface of the outer casing.
