  • Patent number: 11139478
    Abstract: Provided is a laminate for a non-aqueous secondary battery including a substrate and a functional layer that is well adhered thereto. The laminate includes a substrate and a functional layer at one or both sides of the substrate. The functional layer contains non-conductive particles and a binder including a polymer A that includes a fluorine-containing monomer unit. The amount of polymer A in a region up to 20% of thickness of the functional layer from a substrate-side surface thereof is more than 20% and not more than 40% of the total amount of polymer A in the functional layer, and the amount of polymer A in a region up to 20% of thickness of the functional layer from an opposite surface thereof relative to the substrate-side surface is more than 20% and not more than 40% of the total amount of polymer A in the functional layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9944258
    Abstract: An operation device for a vehicle parking brake, which includes: support bracket fixed to vehicle body and having a pair of first and second side plates, which face each other with predetermined interval therebetween; operation pedal supported between first and second side plates of support bracket so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis; and return spring having one end portion hooked on operation pedal and other end portion hooked on first side plate and winding portion located between ends portions and wound about pivot axis and that biases operation pedal toward original position, and which operation pedal is operated to pivot about pivot axis, so a parking brake cable is subjected to tensile force, thereby operating parking brake, one of end portions of return spring being bent and formed so as to bias a pedal pad of operation pedal toward first or second side plate.
