Abstract: Disclosed are an inhibitor parcel comprising (a) a composition comprising an unsaturated fatty acid compound as its main ingredient and (b) a permeable diffusing-parcelling material prepared by laminating and bonding an oxygen-permeable resin layer onto one side of a base sheet made of a fibrous material and an adhesive or onto one adhesive-coating side of a base sheet made of a fibrous material, then laminating and bonding thereonto an oxygen-permeable resin layer and laminating and bonding a porous film of low softening point resin or a low softening point unwoven fabric onto the other side of the base sheet, said permeable diffusing-parcelling material (b) having an oxygen permeability of 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.6 ml/m.sup.2.Atm.Day and a (water vapor permeability/oxygen permeability) ratio of 0.02 H.sub.2 O mg.Atm/O.sub.2 ml! or above at 25.degree. C.

Abstract: A flux-free method for bonding a member which is at least partially metallic to another member is provided including preserving the at least partially metallic member in a container having a low gas permeability, together with a packet containing a rust-proof composition; and bonding the at least partially metallic member with the other member by using a filler material.

Abstract: This invention is to provide capable of easily and properly changing a height in several steps with a simple structure, includes a support link 20 and a reception link 28 in which a slider 43 is slidably housed. The support link 20 and reception link 28 are pivotally disposed in a base 1. An engaging pin 22 is formed on the support link 20. A guide portion 39 having a plurality of engaging portions 40 formed at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction is formed in the reception link 28. The engaging pin 22 is slidably inserted into the guide portion 39. when the reception link 28 is pivoted, the slider 43 inhibits or allows the engaging pin 22 to engage with the engaging portion 40 in accordance with the pivot direction of the reception link 28.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a spring unit used for mattresses and the like is provided with a first unit for forming coiled springs sequentially out of a single wire and shaping the spring wires by arranging these coiled springs in a lateral row so that side limbs of the coiled springs are adjacent to each other, and a second unit extending across the spring wires and adapted to shape helical wires wound around the side arms of the spring wires so that the helical wires extend across the side limbs. The second unit is provided with a helical wire shaping device which includes a feeding mechanism and another mechanism for forming the straight wire fed from the feeding mechanism into the helical wires and a third mechanism for adjusting a pitch of the helical wires. The second unit is also provided with a device for supplying the helical wires while measuring and controlling the length of the helical wires in such a manner that this length substantially agrees with the width of the spring wires.

Abstract: This invention provides a pressure-sensitive recording material in which two color-forming components capable of forming a colored substance upon reaction with each other are formed on the surfaces of separate supports, for example paper sheets, as a transferable coated layer and a receptive coated layer respectively, said transferable coated layer being a layer of a hot-melt type coating containing one color-forming component, and said receptive coated layer being a layer having absorbent micropores and composed of microcapsules containing the other color-forming component, a fine powder and a binder. By stacking a plurality of such pressure-sensitive recording materials, they can be used as a pressure-sensitive recording business form.
