  • Publication number: 20180370582
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a personal mobility that is able to turn by movement of the gravitational center of a passenger, without individually controlling each motor that drives the left and right wheels, and without using any special parts. The personal transporter includes left and right driving wheels (21) as front wheels, left and right casters (22) as rear wheels, and two motors (31) for independently driving the left and right driving wheels (21). By giving a camber angle, in which an upper part inclines inward when viewed from the front, with respect to the left and right casters (22), the torque or the applied voltage of the two motors (31) is the same, the caster (22) rotates in the direction of movement of gravitational center to act as a steering wheel, and it is possible to turn a personal transporter in the movement direction of the gravitational center.

  • Publication number: 20180209091
    Abstract: A method for producing a coagulated article includes coagulating an aqueous urethane resin composition with an alcohol solvent having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. A coagulated article having excellent texture and having excellent texture can be obtained. Further, an alcohol solvent with the number of carbon atoms being small is used for a coagulating bath, which means that the burden on the environment is small. Therefore, a coagulated article obtained by the method can be advantageously used in producing gloves, a coating material, a simulated leather sheet, and the like. With respect to the alcohol solvent, from the viewpoint of achieving a further improvement in the texture of the coagulated article due to having high penetrating property into a resin-blended liquid and an isopropyl group having appropriate hydrophobicity, 2-propanol is preferably used.

  • Publication number: 20180208722
    Abstract: A method for producing a coagulated article includes coagulating an aqueous urethane resin composition with a coagulant containing a metal salt and water and being heated to 40° C. or higher. A coagulated article having excellent texture can be obtained without using an organic solvent. Further, an organic solvent is not used for a coagulating bath, and therefore there is no fear of exposure to a harmful volatile substance or diffusion of the substance into the environment, and further the treatment of waste liquid of such a coagulating bath is easy, which contributes to suppression of the cost of production. Therefore, a coagulated article obtained by the method can be advantageously used in producing gloves, a coating material, a simulated leather sheet, and the like.
