  • Patent number: 10526491
    Abstract: Provided is a quinacridone pigment composition for coloring plastics, particularly engineering plastics. The quinacridone pigment composition has high transparency and high color strength and also has high heat resistance, so that discoloration during molding of a resin (a color change of a molded plate) is very small. Also provided are a masterbatch and a resin molded product that contain the pigment composition. The pigment composition for coloring resins contains a quinacridone pigment and a pigment that absorbs fluorescence in a wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm. The inventors have found that, when the pigment composition is used as a colorant of a resin molded product subjected to a high-temperature thermal history, the change in color, i.e., the discoloration, of the resin molded product obtained is very small. Thus, the present invention has been completed.

  • Patent number: 10040942
    Abstract: A process for the production of a quinacridone pigment composition is provided. For use in environmentally friendly inks, the pigment composition offers high chroma, high color strength, and high dispersion stability. Also provided is a water- or alcohol-based environmentally friendly ink that contains a quinacridone pigment composition obtained through this process. According to the inventors' research, adding a quinacridone derivative to a quinacridone solid solution in two different steps in a process, during and after treatment for the control of crystals, gives the resulting pigment composition the color characteristics of high color strength and high chroma, as well as high dispersion stability. The present invention is based on these findings.

  • Patent number: 7324353
    Abstract: A shield casing of an image display apparatus including a casing which covers other than a front surface of an image display device having an electromagnetic wave emitter and shielding the electromagnetic waves, a protection panel on which a conductive film is laminated, and a mounting device which is in contact with the conductive film and attaches the protection panel to the casing, wherein the mounting device has an arm stretching toward a front side of the protection panel, a tip portion of the arm curves toward the protection panel and has a contact surface with the protection panel on an outer side surface of the tip portion, and the mounting device mounts the protection panel to the casing with the force more than supporting the protection panel.

  • Patent number: 5159826
    Abstract: A die set for forms fins of heat exchangers and a manufacturing device using the die set. The die set for manufacturing fins of heat exchangers, comprising a punch and a die for forming a projected section, which is formed along an edge of a hole bored in a metal plate, into a collar with a prescribed height. The die has a hollow section into which the punch is capable of entering and the outer circumferential face of the punch is a tapered face in the form of a truncated cone. The tapered face faces the inner face of the die when the upper end section of the punch proceeds beyond the upper end of the projected section, which is held between the outer circumferential face of the punch and the inner face of the die, and the projected section so held is extruded by reduction of the distance between the outer circumferential face of the punch and the inner face of the die, which hold the projected section therebetween, caused by movement of the tapered face of the punch into the hollow section of the die.
