Patents by Inventor Fumiyuki Nara

Fumiyuki Nara has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9296976
    Abstract: The lubricating oil composition of the invention comprises a lubricant base oil, a 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid ester at 5-5000 ppm by mass, and a phosphorus compound at 0.001-10.0% by mass, based on the total mass of the lubricating oil composition. The lubricating oil composition of the invention significantly lowers wear and exhibits a stable low frictional coefficient, while having a high rust-preventing effect for iron-based sliding sections. The lubricating oil composition of the invention is therefore suitable for prolonged use, and exhibits a notable effect for energy savings as well due to its stable low frictional coefficient property.
