Abstract: To provide a sticking apparatus capable of suppressing turning-up of an end of a sticking body. A sticking apparatus extrudes a sticking body from a tip in a protruding direction of a head member while moving the tip in a protruding direction of the head member along a target range, and sticks the sticking body to the target range. Extrusion speed of the sticking body becomes smaller than movement speed of the head member from a start of sticking of the sticking body with respect to the target range to a first time point, extrusion speed of the sticking body becomes larger than movement speed of the head member from the first time point to a second time point, and extrusion speed of the sticking body becomes smaller than movement speed of the head member from the second time point to sticking completion of the sticking body with respect to the target range.

Abstract: A hollow shaft and a catheter that, with a braided body, reduce a compressive force toward a second lumen positioned between a first lumen and a shaft outer peripheral surface even when subjected to an external force, and suppress the collapse of the second lumen. The catheter includes a shaft having a first lumen and a second lumen extending in the longitudinal axis direction, and a braided body extending in the longitudinal axis direction of the shaft and disposed inside the shaft, the braided body enclosing both the first lumen and the second lumen. In a transverse cross-sectional direction of the shaft, an inner peripheral surface of the shaft, which defines the first lumen, has a protruding surface protruding toward the center of the shaft, and the second lumen is located between the protruding surface and an outer peripheral surface of the shaft.

Abstract: An in-car electronic device with an anti-theft feature overcomes shortcomings of a conventional in-car electronic device with an anti-theft feature in which a face provided on a front surface of a casing is detached and carried out of a car. In the conventional type, the face carried out may be lost or left somewhere. The in-car electronic device in accordance with the present invention has an opening in a front panel of a casing, and the face in a regular position on the front of the front panel is circularly moved in a horizontal direction and retracted in the casing through the opening. In the retracted position, a bottom edge of the face is flush with a face detaching surface of the front panel. This arrangement makes it look as if the face had been removed from the face detaching surface.

Abstract: A conductive element having good solderability and the manufacturing method thereof. A metal wire having a circular section and tin-plated along its whole circumference is prepared and pressed by a pressing machine from the side directions until the metal wire becomes almost flat. By this, a strip of thin plate-like member is formed. Then, a conductive silicone base adhesive is applied to one surface (one pressed surface) of the plate-like member and dried. Thus, the conductive element comprising the plate-like member and the conductive elastomer joined to the pressed surface thereof is obtained.

Abstract: A pushbutton switch comprising a main body and a contact member supported by thin radial flanges. The main body is integrally molded of synthetic resin and composed of a plurality of switch buttons with cavities and open bottoms, thin flexible portions provided in communication with the peripheries of the switch buttons, and a base plate provided in communication with the peripheries of the flexible portions for supporting the switch buttons via the flexible portions. The contact member is made of conductive material at least at its bottom and is inserted into the cavity of the switch button. The thin flanges project from the contact member and are pressed onto the inner surface of the switch button so as to support the contact member to be movable in the axial direction of the switch button. The thin flanges can absorb vibration generated when the switch button is pressed hard and prevent the contact member from vibrating and chattering.
