The wireless unit for carrying out a wireless communication with an external apparatus is mounted in the storage medium reading out device which is housed in a housing portion of the storage medium reading out device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spring producing apparatus which is constituted such that a drive roller (2) is connected to a controlled speed motor (13) with a clutch brake via a suitable transmission mechanism while a bending die (7) and a pitch tool (10) are connected to adjusting actuators (16) and (22) by way of cams (17) and (23), respectively, and a cutter (11) is connected to a cutting actuator, whereby operations of the motor (13) and the actuators (16) and (22) are set and controlled suitably by a controller.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of vinylidene chloride resin which, when coated onto a synthetic resinous film substrate, has the combined properties of: (1) good adhesion to the substrate; (2) good adhesion of a printing ink to the coating; (3) satisfactory barrier to gases (especially oxygen) and water vapor; and (4) a high resistance to boiling water treatment. The vinylidene chloride resin must also have polymerized therein methyl methacrylate, methacrylonitrile and methacrylic acid. A total amount of methacrylic acid must be between 1.times.10.sup.-4 and 3.times.10.sup.-4 moles of methacrylic acid per gram of polymer solids. A portion of the total amount of methacrylic acid exists in a form titratable with a 1/20 Normal aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The portion must be the less of (a) about 1.3.times.10.sup.-4 moles per gram of polymer solids or (b) about 60 percent of the total amount.

Abstract: A golf tee comprising a peg member having one end adapted to be thrust into the ground, a head member for placement of a golf ball, a coil spring made of thermo treated reinforced engineering plastic provided between the peg member and the head member, and it is characterized in that an axial bore is formed in the head member and one end of the coil spring is secured inside bore of the head member and the other end of the coil spring is secured with the peg member, the two members are united by inserting a convex portion of the peg member into a concave portion of the head member. These two members are attracted to each other by the force of the spring.

The dispersion must also contain an unsaturated carboxylic acid in an amount of from about 0.5.times.10.sup.-4 to about 4.times.10.sup.-4 mol of unsaturated carboxylic acid units per gram of solids in the dispersion. The unsaturated carboxylic acid must have a partition coefficient of greater than or equal to 1. A limited portion of the amount of the unsaturated carboxylic acid is contained in the aqueous phase. The remaining unsaturated carboxylic acid is polymerized with the vinylidene chloride.

Abstract: A golf tee comprising a peg member having one end adapted to be thrust into the ground, a head member for placement of a golf ball and an elastic member provided between the peg member and the head member, and which is characterized in that an axial bore is formed in said head member, said elastic member is inserted in said bore and pressed by a pressure member, and one end of said pressure member is secured in said peg member, whereby the lower end surface of said head member and the upper end surface of said peg member abut against each other.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of a vinylidene chloride copolymer resin which, when coated onto a synthetic resinous film substrate, has the combined properties of: (1) good adhesion to the substrate; (2) good adhesion of a printing ink to the coating; (3) excellent barrier to gases (especially oxygen) and water vapor; and (4) a high resistance to a boiling water treatment. The dispersion must contain methacrylic acid in an amount of from about 1.times.10.sup.-4 to about 3.times.10.sup.-4 moles per gram of polymer solids content. The dispersion must also have a molar ratio of acrylonitrile to methyl methacrylate of from about 0 to 1 to about 1 to 1. A limited portion of the amount of methacrylic acid is contained in the aqueous phase. The remaining amount of methacrylic acid is polymerized with the vinylidene chloride.

Abstract: A device comprising a straight rod portion with a mounting pin extending from its one end and having a smaller diameter than the rod portion and vertical parallel flat walls on both side of mounting pin, a pivotable member fitting over the mounting pin, and an abutment provided at the forward end of the mounting pin for preventing the pivotable member from slipping off the pin. The pivotable member includes two side plates extending substantially over the entire length thereof with the pin positioned therebetween and a forward end portion loosely secured to the mounting rotatably and a little slidably. Spring is provided between pivotable member and mounting pin so as to bias the free end of the pivotable member away from the pin.
