Abstract: A touch panel-use transparent conductive molded product having a conductive layer excellent in wear resistance and flexing resistance, small in surface resistivity change when the touch panel is in use, and free from a change in transmitted light hue, and a touch panel using it. The touch panel-use transparent conductive molded product comprises a fine-conductive-fibers (4)-containing, transparent conductive layer (12) formed on at least one surface of a transparent substrate (11), and the touch panel uses the above transparent conductive molded product as an electrode. The fine conductive fibers in the transparent conductive layer (12) are dispersed without being aggregated, and touch each other while being dispersed with each of them separated from each other or each bundle of several fibers separated from each other. Therefore, it is possible to control a surface resistivity to 104?/? or smaller, and a conductive layer light beam transmittance at a wavelength of 550 nm to 75% or larger.

Abstract: There are provided a transparent conductive formed article for a touch panel, having a conductive layer which is excellent in abrasion resistance and elasticity, shows little change in surface resistivity at the time of the use of a touch panel, and does not change hues of the transmitting light, and a touch panel that use the same. The transparent conductive formed article for a touch panel is prepared by forming a transparent conductive layer 12 comprising ultra fine conductive fibers 4 on at least one side of a transparent substrate 11, and the touch panel is prepared using the aforementioned transparent conductive formed article as an electrode. The ultra fine conductive fibers of the transparent conductive layer 12 are dispersed without aggregation and dispersed and contacted with one another in a state in which said fibers are separated one by one or in a state in which a bundle formed by the gathering of two or more fibers is separated from other bundles.

Abstract: A blade is removably supported on one end of a shank which is axially movably disposed in a tubular holder. The shank has an axially extending slit terminating at the end thereof for supporting the blade therein and a tapered portion having an outside diameter decreasing gradually from the end of the shank. The blade is movable from one of its retracted, cutting and replacement positions to another with the movement of the shank. A sleeve is fitted about the shank adjacent to the end thereof and has one end facing the tapered portion thereof. A coiled spring is provided on the shank for urging one end of the sleeve into contact with the tapered portion of the shank. The sleeve is axially movable with the movement of the shank. The holder is provided on its inner surface adjacent to the sleeve for preventing the movement of the sleeve upon movement of the blade to its replacement position.
