  • Patent number: 9410245
    Abstract: A gas barrier plastic molded product having high gas barrier properties is provided. The gas barrier plastic molded product is a gas barrier plastic molded product comprising a plastic molded product and a gas barrier thin film provided on the surface of the plastic molded product, in which the gas barrier thin film contains silicon (Si), carbon (C), oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) as constituent elements, and comprises a Si-containing layer having a Si content percentage represented by (Mathematical Formula 1) of 40.1% or more: Si content percentage [%]={(Si content [atomic %])/ (total content of Si, O and C [atomic %])}×100??(Mathematical Formula 1) wherein in Mathematical Formula 1, the content of Si, O or C is a content thereof in the items of the three elements of Si, O and C.

  • Patent number: 9096997
    Abstract: A sanitary washing apparatus is provided according to one aspect of the invention, where the sanitary washing apparatus includes: a washing nozzle having a water discharge port, where the washing nozzle is configured to wash a body of a user by squirting water from the water discharge port; and a casing capable of storing the washing nozzle. The washing nozzle is configured to change from a stored state to an advanced state while transitioning to an orientation having a greater angle of an axis of the washing nozzle with respect to a horizontal plane, where the washing nozzle is stored in the casing in the stored state, and the washing nozzle is configured to wash the body in the advanced state.
