  • Patent number: 11965635
    Abstract: A vehicular light guide member includes a main body part and a light entrance part. The main body part has an exit surface and a plurality of specular surfaces facing the exit surface. Some of the specular surfaces constitute a displaced section that is closer to or farther from the exit surface than a reference section constituted of the remains of the specular surfaces. The specular surfaces as such allow light to be uniformly emitted through the exit surface.

  • Patent number: 11773306
    Abstract: Provided is a UV curable sealing material containing a vinyl chloride sol as a main ingredient, the film strength of the sealing material being not reduced even in a thin film, the sealing material thus having high resistant pressure against a hem blister. Provided is a vinyl chloride sol composition containing a vinyl chloride-based resin, a UV curable resin having a polar group (functional group), a blocked isocyanate resin, and a filler, the vinyl chloride sol composition being characterized by containing the UV curable resin having a polar group (functional group) in an amount of 20 to 100 parts by weight, the blocked isocyanate resin in an amount of 10 to 50 parts by weight, and the filler in an amount of 50 to 160 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride-based resin.
