  • Patent number: 10330837
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a near-infrared shielding film having low initial haze and resistance to haze increase in weathering tests, to provide a method for producing such a near-infrared shielding film, and to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. The near-infrared shielding film of the present invention includes a transparent substrate and a component layer that is provided on at least one surface of the substrate and includes, as compounds, resin A shown below, at least one of resin B or C shown below, and oxide fine particles D shown below. Resin A: A resin having an acid value of less than 0.5 mgKOH/g and a hydroxy value of 5 to 60 mgKOH/g Resin B: A resin having an acid value of 1 to 60 mgKOH/g Resin C: A resin having an acid value of at least 1 mgKOH/g and a hydroxy value of 5 to 60 mgKOH/g Oxide fine particles D: Tungsten oxide fine particles or composite tungsten oxide fine particles.

  • Patent number: 7412956
    Abstract: A cylinder barrel (1) for housing a piston comprises a sheet metal liner (2) and a reinforcing structure (10) located outside the sheet metal liner (2). The reinforcing structure (10) comprises a glass-fiber-reinforcing layer (12) and a carbon-fiber-reinforcing layer (13). The glass-fiber-reinforcing layer (12) comprises a plain cloth (20) made of glass fiber covering the sheet metal liner (2). The carbon-fiber-reinforcing layer (13) comprises a carbon fiber string (31) wound around the outer circumference of the glass-fiber-reinforcing layer (12) along a spiral path. According to the this construction, the reinforcing structure (10) has a high flexibility which is required for preventing cracks in the reinforcing structure (10) while maintaining a high rigidity of the entire cylinder barrel (1).
