  • Patent number: 9339955
    Abstract: A vehicular mat to be placed on a vehicular floor panel includes a floor portion, a tunnel portion, a rear edge portion, at least two score lines extending in a vehicular width direction, and a tunnel cutoff portion. The floor portion commonly covers at least two types of vehicular floor panels having different lengths. The rear edge portion is continuous from a vehicular rear edge of the floor portion and has a through hole to be fitted to the opening of the tunnel portion. The vehicular mat is folded along one of the at least two score lines so that the rear edge portion is angled and lifted upward with respect to the floor portion. The tunnel cutoff portion included in the tunnel portion is to be cut off from the vehicular mat to be placed on the second vehicular floor panel.

  • Patent number: 5603072
    Abstract: Fe-based alloy powder suitable for manufacturing sintered products with excellent corrosion resistance for example, which comprises by weight percentage of not more than 0.03% of C; not more than 2% of Si; not more than 0.5% of Mn; from 8 to 28% of Ni; from 15 to 25% of Cr; from 3 to 8% of Mo; optionally at least one of not more than 5% of Cu; not more than 3 % of Sn; not more than 2% of Nb and not more than 2% of Ti; and the balance being Fe and incidental impurities. The Fe-based alloy powder is sintered in an inert gas such as Ar or H.sub.2, or in an atmosphere of N.sub.2 with pressure of 1 to 10 torr after being compacted. A sintered compact sintered in an atmosphere of N.sub.2 with pressure of higher than 10 torr and not higher than 200 torr is cooled at cooling rate of higher than 50.degree. C./min.
