  • Patent number: 8557005
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polyurethane foam, which, despite having a low specific gravity, has a hardness and an elasticity favorable for a polishing pad, and a polishing pad made using the polyurethane foam. The polyurethane foam is obtained by reacting a blend composition containing (A) a polyisocyanate, (B) a polyol, (C) a chain extender with a molecular weight of equal to or smaller than 400, and (D) water, and in the blend composition, MDI is blended as a main component of the component (A) and a blending amount of the MDI is 45 to 70 parts by weight when a total weight of the respective components (A), (B), and (C) is taken as 100 parts by weight.

  • Patent number: 6467147
    Abstract: By inserting a male screw for fixing a ratchet claw into a nut placed on an insert core and the like to prevent rotation, it is possible to eliminate additional screw processing on the insert core, to increase magnetic resistance between a magnet and the insert core provided with the former, to concentrate irradiation of magnetic flux from the second magnet pole toward outside and to fix the magnet and the second magnet pole onto the insert core with screws. Further, by tapering an axial hole of the rotor, it is possible to easily and accurately attach the insert core or the rotor to a crankshaft. Furthermore, by inserting a removal parts of a removal tool into a perforation hole of the rotor, it is possible to realize quick and simple removal of the rotor from the crankshaft.
