Abstract: The present invention provides a side curtain air bag facilitating the control of tension with the air bag. The side curtain air bag includes chambers expanded by gas supplied from a gas generator, and expands and develops into a curtain shape along a side part of a vehicle so as to protect vehicle occupants. The side curtain air bag includes primary chambers which expand to form the side curtain air bag, and a secondary chamber which expands after the primary chambers to apply additional tension across the expanded side curtain air bag. The secondary chamber includes an opening communicating with the primary chamber.

Abstract: An airbag is formed from fabric layers joined at a seam, and gas generator inflates the airbag by means of gas expelled from the gas generator's insertion end which has been inserted into the airbag. A gas guide is formed in the airbag in order to direct gas from the gas generator into the airbag and includes a pouch-shaped gas guide member in which are formed gas injection nozzles and an attachment orifice. The insertion end of the gas generator is inserted into the attachment orifice with the gas injection nozzles facing an interior of the airbag. A convex-shaped seam is included where the fabric layers are joined, and is disposed in opposition to the gas guide member. The gas guide member comes into contact with the convex-shaped seam as a result of the pressure of the flow of gas from the gas generator through the gas guide member.

Abstract: Described is a sebum removing method which comprises applying a liquid composition to the skin and holding a water absorptive or oil absorptive material against the surface of the applied skin to remove sebum together with the liquid composition. According to this method, sebum can be removed from the skin effectively and selectively without removing makeup from the made-up face.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising (A) at least one amide derivative having a specified formula; and (B) at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of (B-1) polyhydric alcohols, (B-2) vegetable extracts and (B-3) organic acids or salts thereof. The compositions can enhance the water-retaining ability of the horny layer and have excellent effects for improving skin roughness and preventing the formation of wrinkles.

Abstract: Described is a cosmetic composition comprising (A) an amide compound having a melting point of 0 to 50.degree. C. and (B) a hydrophilic surfactant. The cosmetic composition according to the present invention can enhance the water-retaining ability of the stratum corneum and is excellent in skin-roughness lessening effects.

Abstract: The disk brake mechanism with an exposed portion of the camshaft being a connection portion having a non-circular radial cross-section. The brake lever has a corresponding non-circular bore engaging the connection portion. A caulked portion is formed around an edge of interengagement of the brake lever with the connection portion thereby affixing the brake lever to the camshaft. The caulking can be done on the brake lever, the connection portion of the camshaft or both.
