The epoxy resin composition is characterized by comprising as an essential component an epoxy resin having an epoxy equivalent of 300-1000 g/eq and a softening point of 65-110° C. obtained by reacting a nonaromatic polycarboxylic acid (A) having an acid value of 100-250 mgKOH/g with a nonaromatic epoxy resin (B) having an epoxy equivalent of 100-400 g/eq. The nonaromatic polycarboxylic acid (A) may be obtained by reacting 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexyl)propane, or 3,9-bis(1,1-dimethyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane with methylhexahydrophthalic acid or hexahydrophthalic acid.

Abstract: An outer conductor terminal by which locking force of its crimping pieces at a braid section of a coaxial wire is improved, preventing the coaxial wire from being pulled out of the terminal. The outer conductor terminal, which is attached to an end of a coaxial wire having an inner conductor, an outer conductor as a braid provided around the inner conductor via insulation, and a sheath covering the braid, has a crimp section having a pair of crimping pieces which are made to overlap on and crimped onto an end of the braid of the coaxial wire, wherein an edge portion of the inside crimping piece of the outer conductor terminal on a terminal top side locks the end of the braid.

Abstract: A fluorescent lamp has an amalgam container settled inside an exhaust pipe extending from an end portion of a bulb to which electrodes are attached at both end portions. The amalgam container contains amalgam inside and has an opening portion through which the contained amalgam cannot go out and a part for determining the position of the amalgam, wherein the opening portion is located on the side where the exhaust pipe is cut and sealed. This configuration makes it possible to prevent the amalgam from outflowing into an exhaust equipment. In addition, the mercury vapor pressure is maintained optimally, and high luminous efficiency is obtained.

Abstract: The solar heat-shielding paint composition of the present invention contains a solar heat-shielding pigment having a grain size of 50 .mu.m or less in a proportion of from 2 to 60% by weight of the solid content of the composition as a part or all of the pigment. The solar heat-shielding paint-coated structure having an outermost overcoat layer made of the said paint composition on the structure base displays an excellent solar heat-shielding effect and has a long-time durability with no problem of environmental pollution. The overcoat may be colored in any desired color to give a beautiful outward appearance. The coated structure is extremely useful as an outdoor structure, for example, marine structures such as decks or tanks of ships, as well as land structures such as architectures of petroleum tanks, houses, buildings, storehouses or gymnasia, and cars, tank lorries and refrigerator containers.
