  • Patent number: 6921040
    Abstract: A wind-up type storage container is provided that can easily wind up and store a small or large item, such as a bag, a flag, a sheet, rainwear, etc. and from which such items can be easily pulled out. In order to pull in an item to be stored, a button is pressed to move a wind-up shaft downwardly. A pawl receiving portion is engaged with engaging pawls, and a reel portion is interlocked with a winding shaft. When a reel cord is pulled out, the reel portion is rotated, and the item to be stored is pulled to and wound around a winding shaft. When the button is released, the reel cord is rewound by a restoring force of a power spring. The reel cord is repetitively pulled until the item to be stored is completely stored in the main body capsule.

  • Publication number: 20040086728
    Abstract: A plated product has a base layer, a silver plating layer, and a top coat layer. The top coat layer is consisted of an acrylic silicone coating that includes a primary agent and a curing agent. A coating film is formed by causing the primary agent and the curing agent to react while the acrylic silicone coating is applied to the metal plating layer. When the coating film is aged by allowing to stand for 240 hours at a normal temperature and a humidity range of 20% to 70%, the range of the glass transition temperature of the coating film is between 70° C. and 120° C. inclusive. The plated product has superior weather resistance.
