  • Publication number: 20230415450
    Abstract: Provided is a laminate that can be pre-trimmed and can eliminate the need for a post-processing step. A laminate includes a decorative layer, an adhesive layer, and a support layer laminated in this order. The support layer includes two or more kinds of materials having different melting points including a material having a relatively low melting point and a material having a relatively high melting point.

  • Patent number: 8979690
    Abstract: A toothed belt has therein a core wire (3) including a core thread (1) made of aramid fiber and a filament thread (2) made of nylon fiber, and has belt tooth portions (4) and belt groove portions (5) alternately formed therealong. The core wire (3), the belt tooth portions (4), and the belt groove portions (5) are integrated with one another by a rubber material (7). It should be noted herein that the core thread (1) and the filament thread (2) are integrally twined around each other so that the filament thread (2) is formed in the shape of a plurality of loops around the core thread (1). The filament thread (2) in the shape of the loops enters tooth root portions (9) of the belt tooth portions (4) to be arranged therein. As a result, the tooth root portions (9) are strengthened.

  • Publication number: 20140302276
    Abstract: A multilayer structure (4) of the present invention includes a hollow plate-like body (1) made of a thermoplastic resin, and a fiber sheet (2) and a thermoplastic resin film (3) that are laminated on at least one principal surface of the hollow plate-like body. Even if this multilayer structure (4) is curved, raised wrinkles (6) are not formed or not likely to be formed on the inner surface due to buckling or bending, so that the strength is not likely to be reduced. Thus, the multilayer structure can satisfy both flexural rigidity and flexural strength while maintaining the light weight. The fiber sheet (2) is preferably a multiaxial fiber sheet and/or a woven fabric. The lamination is preferably thermal lamination using an adhesive film interposed between the layers.

  • Publication number: 20060154020
    Abstract: A reinforcing non-woven base fabric that is formed through processes in which a group of warp yarns, composed of a plurality of reinforcing fiber yarns that are aligned in a fixed direction with fixed intervals or closely, is superposed on a group of fusion-bonding multifilament yarns made of composite fibers that are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the fixed direction so that the two groups are bonded to each other through fusion-bonding, and a manufacturing method and a manufacturing machine for such a reinforcing non-woven base fabric.
