  • Publication number: 20100263215
    Abstract: Each of handles of a pair of scissors includes a hard core member and a soft member softer than the core member and including a contact face portion with which a finger of a user comes in contact, a bottomed recessed hole portion adjacent to the contact face portion and thinner than portions around it, and a through hole portion continuous with the bottomed recessed hole portion. When the user inserts and removes his/her fingers into and from finger rings, the contact face portions escape while compressing the through hole portions and the contact face portions tilt by using the bottomed recessed hole portions as fulcrums. Moreover, the bottomed recessed hole portions and the through hole portions continuous with each other are molded, which allows an elastic deformation property and a shape retaining property of the contact face portions to go together and also contributes to durability of the soft members including the contact face portions.

  • Publication number: 20100247831
    Abstract: [Means To Solve The Problems] The patch P has a base sheet B, one surface thereof being an adhesive surface A, and the other surface thereof being a peeling treatment surface L. A laminate P1 is configured by forming a plurality of patches P, and by stacking the adhesive surface A of each of the patches P on the peeling treatment surface L of each of the patches P together. The patch P is peelable, sheet by sheet, from the laminate P1 by adhering the adhesive surface A of the patch P positioned on one end side of the laminate P1 to an area around a hole S1 of the paper S. The adhesive surface A is formed from a number of point-like or water droplet-like adhesive agent portions A1 with an adhesive agent dispersively-applied. The adhesive agent portions A1 are arranged with a line symmetric manner, a point symmetric manner and the like, and other certain regularity.
