  • Patent number: 9580843
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth that is excellent in terms of not only flame retardancy but also stretchability, and also a textile product using the cloth. As a means for resolution, a composite yarn is obtained using a spun yarn that contains a flame-retardant fiber having a limiting oxygen index of 25 or more as measured in accordance with JIS K7201 and a conjugate fiber that is made of two components put together in a side-by-side manner or an eccentric sheath-core manner, and then a cloth is obtained using the composite yarn, in which the weight proportion of the flame-retardant fiber is 75 wt % or more based on the weight of the cloth, and the weight proportion of the conjugate fiber is within a range of 5 to 15 wt % based on the weight of the cloth.

  • Patent number: 9415246
    Abstract: Layered heat-proof protective clothing includes a front fabric layer and a breathable waterproof interlayer and/or heat-shielding layer, the layered heat-proof protective clothing having a thickness of 2.5 mm or greater after 5 washings according to ISO 6330, and a time to temperature increase by 24° C. of 18 seconds or longer in the heat transfer test ISO 6942-2002 in European Approach A, Section 4, according to ISO 11613, wherein the basis weight of the layered heat-proof protective clothing is 450±50 g/m2, and wherein the front fabric layer is composed of a double weave fabric, having a front side fabric and back side fabric whose TMA shrinkage factor difference at 400° C., with 150° C/min increase, is at least 4%, and the variation in thickness of the double weave fabric after 8 seconds of flame exposure from the front side fabric side following ISO 17492, TPP, being 2 mm or greater.

  • Publication number: 20080285778
    Abstract: A screen-integrated speaker in which mutual interference among channels does not occur easily, a high quality sound and a wide range of frequency are ensured, flexible and light, and downsizing for storage and transport are easy owing to its easiness of rolling up and deployment under a multi-channel structure is provided. The screen-integrated speaker according to an aspect of the invention includes a screen mainly composed of a fibrous structure and an exciter mounted to the back surface of the screen. Preferably, a exciting panel is interposed between the exciter and the screen.

  • Publication number: 20060093817
    Abstract: A damper for a speaker includes a first fiber having a tensile strength of equal to or larger than 17 cN/dtex and a second fiber having a tensile elastic modulus of equal to or smaller than 200 cN/dtex. Thereby, necessary tensile strength and elasticity can be ensured. In addition, the ratio of the first fiber to the total amount of the first and second fibers is from 10% to 90%. If the ratio of the first fiber is smaller than 10%, the necessary tensile strength and elasticity cannot be obtained. Meanwhile, if the ratio of the first fiber becomes larger than 90%, punching property at the time of damper manufacture deteriorates. Thus, it is preferred that the first fiber is included at the above ratio.
