Abstract: A high crystallinity powdery graphite is mixed with an organic binder capable of forming a low crystallinity carbon after firing. A high shearing force is applied to the mixture so that a composition is obtained wherein both the components are dispersed in each other under a mechano-chemical reaction. Then a paste of the composition is extruded so that the high crystallinity graphite is highly oriented. A green extrudate of the composition is fired in an inert atmosphere or a non-oxidation atmosphere at a temperature in a range between 500 and 1,100.degree. C. so that the organic binder contained therein is carbonized and a graphite-carbon carbonaceous composite of an amorphous or random layered structure is obtained, which then is ground and used as a cathode for a lithium ion secondary battery.

Abstract: A liquid applicator is provided which is capable of using a cartridge-type tank. The liquid applicator has a lock mechanism which is capable of preventing an inadvertent pressing of the knocking rod with a simple construction. A cartridge-type tank containing a liquid therein is accommodated within the cylindrical applicator body while a soaker for applying the liquid sealed in the tank is attached to the forward tip end of the applicator body. The cylindrical tail plug is detachably fitted into the rearward end of the applicator body with the tail plug being formed with an engaging lug radially outwardly therein. The knocking rod is coaxially provided inside the cylindrical tail plug with the lug inwardly projecting from an inside surface of the tail plug being engaged with the L-shaped groove formed in the periphery of the knocking rod.

Abstract: A fluid applicator which makes application work easy because liquid splash outside the container body is prevented by opening the valve by removing the cap such that the liquid is supplied directly to the applicator member from the container body. The valve body incorporated in a sealed chamber is pressed against the shouldered seal portion to bring the sealed chamber into communication with the connecting passage such that the liquid discharged from the container body is allowed to flow into the sealed chamber through a hollow shaft member and is further led through a connecting passage into the applicator attachment hole to which the applicator member is attached.

Abstract: An applicator for applying a fluid such as eye shadow. The applicator comprises a tubular core having a conduit, and a porous outer membrane arranged to cover the tip of the tubular core. The outlet of the conduit, of the tubular core is formed so that the outlet opens in the tubular core on one side of the tubular core from the longitudinal axis of the tubular core. Therefore, it is possible to apply a fluid to a surface, such a skin of a human being, by using one side of the applicator through which the fluid easily soaks, and to spread and gradate the fluid on the surface, by using the other side of the applicator. The outer membrane may be made from two or three porous sheet members having different porosities from each other, so that a fluid easily soaks through one of the porous sheet members having a relatively large porosity.

Abstract: A process for coating a carbonized material with metal is disclosed, wherein a chlorine-containing resin mixture is coated with Cr or Fe-Cr alloy to a thickness of substantially several microns. The coated product is then heated in an inactive atmosphere to carbonize the resin mixture. The process sufficiently coats a metal onto a carbonized material using relatively simple steps.

Abstract: A liquid painting instrument according to the present invention includes a neck portion of a cross-sectionally noncircular configuration provided on a wall having a passage hole that allows the neck member of the inner shaft to pass therethrough at a certain position in a circumferential phase while preventing the neck member from passing therethrough at other positions in the circumferential phase. The control wall is located at a position in front of the neck portion in the unknocked state. Projections are also provided on the front face of the neck member; each has a cam face that slides on the rear face of the control wall so as to displace the inner shaft rearward with respect to the fixed position where the valve is closed when the inner shaft is rotated preventing the neck member from passing through the passage hole.

Abstract: An inplant material for a living body hard tissue which is constructed by forming a core of a carbon material having a smooth and high hardness surface, an excellent mechanical strength against bending and compressing strengths, and non-impregnable to blood, lymph or the like and further forming a porous layer having a thickness of 100 microns or larger, preferably 100 microns or large on the surface of the core. This porous structure of the implant material is very important to smoothly and rigidly bond the material to a living body and is devised to produce the state that a collagen fiber newly produced in the boundary between the living body and the implant material is intruded into the porous tissue of the surface of the implant material and mutually interchanged, and a process for producing the same. Thus, the implant material has a smooth and high hardness surface, an excellent mechanical strength against bending and compressing strengths, and being non-impregnable to blood, lymph or the like.

Abstract: A process for preparing a wholly carbonaceous diaphragm includes blending a powder of graphite with a chlorine-containing resin and a monomer or a primary condensate of a thermosetting resin containing a triazine ring; adding thereto a solvent or a plasticizer capable of dissolving these resin components; thoroughly kneading the resulting mixture so that crystals of graphite cleft and binder resin are allowed to disperse with strong affinity, whereby a resulting composition is made into a sheet-form in which the crystal surfaces of graphite are oriented to a high degree; further passing the sheet-form through a calendering roll to preform it into a film or a sheet; then forming these materials into a shape of a diaphragm in heated air to remove the solvent or plasticizer, and to produce a completely cured body causing no thermal deformation by promoting cross linking reaction and curing reaction of the chlorine-containing resin by triazine; and then baking the cured body in an inert atmosphere.
