  • Patent number: 10828866
    Abstract: Provided are a decorative sheet which has excellent processability and with which an increase in workability during mounting can be achieved, a formed sheet obtained by forming the decorative sheet, and a formed sheet manufacturing method. The decorative sheet 1 is provided with a release layer 2, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 disposed on a surface of the release layer 2, and a skin layer 4 disposed on a surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3. The release layer 2 includes a shape retention layer 5 and an easy release layer 6 interposed between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 and the shape retention layer 5. The shape retention layer 5 is a resin sheet made from an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer. The shape retention layer 5 has a thickness of not less than 100 ?m and not more than 700 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20100122991
    Abstract: A device for closing a spout of a flexible container is provided. The device includes a connection tube and a sealable cap having an outer casing member with a lower, outer circumferential surface, an attachment member annularly positioned on a portion of the lower, outer circumferential surface, and an inner casing member having an inner casing sidewall and a bottom disc-shaped occlusion plate defining a cylindrical void space configured to receive a connection tube. The plate can be integrally connected to the inner casing sidewall via a thin-wall section sized to break by the insertion of an insertion edge of the connection tube. The device can also include an overcap sized to mate to the sealable cap.

  • Patent number: 4876433
    Abstract: An arc welding power source supplies a high voltage for the reignition of an arc after the polarity reversal of a welding current to prevent the destruction of circuit elements and ensure the stable and positive polarity reversal despite its reduced size, and also the occurrence of a spike voltage in a main circuit during the polarity reversal of a large current or alternatively the welding current during the polarity reversal is controlled to suppress a spike voltage during the current reversal.
