Abstract: Provided is a dummy tape assembly (60) that is attached to a rotary connector. The dummy tape assembly (60) includes a tape body (70) including a plurality of dummy tape portions (61) and a folding back portion (62) integrally formed therein. The plurality of dummy tape portions (61) differ in length in a length direction. The folding back portion (62) connects the dummy tape portions (61) to each other at end portions in the length direction of the dummy tape portions (61) in a folded state. The plurality of dummy tape portions (61) each include attachment holes (63) near both ends in length direction of each of the plurality of dummy tape portion (61), the openings being configured to allow the tape body (70) to be attached to the rotary connector (1).

Abstract: A reclining device including: a lower frame member that configures a portion of a frame of a vehicle seat; an upper frame member that configures a portion of the frame of the vehicle seat; a recliner that is provided between and welded to both the lower frame member and the upper frame member, and that couples the upper frame member to the lower frame member such that a relative rotation angle of the upper frame member is adjustable relative to the lower frame member; a lower side engagement portion that is provided at the lower frame member and that is formed in a circular arc shape that is concentric with the recliner; and an extension member that extends from the upper frame member toward a lower frame member side.

Abstract: A vehicle seat including: a moving member that moves as one with a rail configured to move in a vehicle front-rear direction; a seat cushion that is coupled to the moving member through a lifter mechanism, is disposed above the rail, and is configured such that the top-bottom direction position of the seat cushion is capable of being adjusted by the lifter mechanism; and a gap concealing member that extends between a vehicle rear direction lower portion of the seat cushion and the rail to conceal a gap between the seat cushion and the rail. The gap concealing member is integrally formed from the top end portion to the bottom end portion.

Abstract: A method for producing a preparation that can be used in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases, including periodontitis caused by P. gingivalis. Specifically, the invention provides a method for producing a hop preparation comprising the following steps (1) to (3): (1) adjusting the pH of a polyphenol-containing liquid prepared from hop bracts to 6 to 7 and passing the liquid through a gel-type synthetic resin to allow components including useful substances to be adsorbed onto the resin; (2) washing the resin obtained in the step (1) with a 30 to 60% aqueous ethanol solution to elute unwanted substances, leaving the useful substances adsorbed to the resin; and (3) washing the resin obtained in the step (2) with a 70% or higher aqueous ethanol solution or ethanol to elute the components including the useful substances and forming the preparation from the eluted fraction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a protectant of periodontal membranes for inhibiting the destruction of periodontal tissues, particularly periodontal membranes by participation of Porphyromonas gingivalis. Further, it provides an agent for oral cavity or food and drinks containing the protectant of periodontal membranes having effects of prevention and therapy of diseases involving damage of periodontal membranes. A protectant of periodontal membranes is proanthocyanidins, particularly proanthocyanidins derived from apple premature fruits or hop bracts having an effect decreasing the damage to periodontal membranes caused by Porphyromonas gingivalis, and an eating and drinking product containing the protectant of periodontal membranes as an effective component.
