  • Disk brake
    Patent number: 9180841
    Abstract: A disk brake including a mount member having a pin insertion portion integrally connected to a connection portion so as to outwardly protrude from an outer surface of the connection portion in a radial direction of a disk rotor. A tip of a pin insertion hole of the pin insertion portion is positioned at an inner side of a vehicle relative to an outer portion. Thus, it is possible to prevent a braking torque from affecting the pin insertion portion of the mount member. As a result, it is possible to prevent a slide pin from interfering with an inner wall surface of the pin insertion hole, thereby preventing a brake judder phenomenon from occurring during a braking operation.

  • Process for producing a charge control agent
    Patent number: 9056884
    Abstract: A process for producing a charge control agent comprising an azo-based iron complex salt compound as an effective component, comprises: synthesizing a monoazo compound through diazotization coupling; and ironing the monoazo compound by using an ironizing agent such as ferric chloride to produce an azo-based iron complex salt compound represented by the following formula. The ironization reaction of the monoazo compound is carried out while pH is kept at 7.0 to 8.0. Since the above azo-based iron complex salt compound having high purity can be obtained at a high yield, it can be used as a charge control agent directly and a special purification step can be eliminated, thereby making it possible to greatly cut the production cost.
