  • Patent number: 10994455
    Abstract: Provided are: an FRP sheet press molding method and device whereby yield can be improved without opening/closing adjustment of a mold after mold clamping; and an FRP molded article. The FRP sheet press molding method, whereby a press-molded article PM is molded using a fiber-reinforced plastic sheet material SM, comprises: a press step in which molds 2, 3 are closed and the heated sheet material SM is press-molded inside a cavity 5; and a filling step in which the closed state of the molds 2, 3 is maintained from the press step, a molten resin MP is pressure-injected into a gap IS that occurs between the sheet material SM and the cavity 5, and a surface of the sheet material SM and a surface of the molten resin MP are caused to come in contact with the cavity 5.

  • Patent number: 10603825
    Abstract: A fiber-reinforced resin molded article is molded into a three-dimensional shape on the basis of a sheet-shaped base material containing a fiber-reinforced resin. The fiber-reinforced resin molded article includes three-way directed corner portions constituted by plate sections joined in three mutually different directions. The fiber-reinforced resin molded article includes wrinkles that protrude from the differently directed corner portions by folding the sheet base material, and thick-walled sections which are laminated at sites where at least the wrinkles are formed.

  • Publication number: 20190105819
    Abstract: Provided are: an FRP sheet press molding method and device that are capable of improving production efficiency; and an FRP molded article. The FRP sheet press molding method, whereby a press-molded article PM is molded using a fiber-reinforced plastic sheet material SM1, comprises: a press step in which molds 2, 3 are closed and the heated sheet material SM1 is press-molded interior a cavity 5; and a filling step in which the closed state of the molds 2, 3 is maintained from the press step and a molten resin MP is pressure-injected from an injection section IP1 formed in one surface of the sheet material SM1, towards the interior IN1 of the sheet material SM1.

  • Patent number: 8091349
    Abstract: A silencer for a motorcycle with relaxed layout restrictions has a drum portion connected to a head. A conduit extends through the drum portion in a direction of connection. The drum portion decreases in cross sectional area toward a downstream side. A catalyst holding portion formed in the head has a catalyst fixed member to which a catalyst inserted member is fixed at a position upstream of the drum portion. A catalyst is inserted into the catalyst inserted member.

  • Patent number: 7204219
    Abstract: A valve gear includes a camshaft having valve gear cams, first and second rocker shafts, a first rocker arm supported on the first rocker shaft, and a second rocker arm supported on the second rocker shaft: The valve gear cams, respectively, include a cam nose projecting from a base circle, and the first rocker shaft supporting the first rocker arm is positioned forwardly of a center line, which passes through a center of the camshaft to extend axially of a cylinder, in a direction of rotation of the camshaft:. The first rocker shaft is shifted closer to the camshaft than a center of rotation of a roller bearing is, when the roller bearing won the first rocker arm contacts with the base circle of the valve gear cam.
