  • Patent number: 8511320
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide an artificial hair fiber bundle having a color tone with a gradation appearance at a tip portion thereof. An aspect of the invention is a fiber bundle (10) for artificial hair, with one end (1) thereof being bundled and fixed. The fiber bundle includes fibers (A1, B1) of two or more kinds having color tones different from each other, the fiber bundle being obtained by a heat treatment at a predetermined temperature. The fibers of two or more kinds have heat shrinkage rates different from each other, and a tip portion of the fiber (A1) out of the fibers of two or more kinds emerges in a portion (2) corresponding to the other end of the fiber bundle (10) which is not bundled and fixed.

  • Patent number: 7906209
    Abstract: An artificial hair which is composed of synthetic fibers such as acrylic fibers or vinyl chloride fibers and which is characterized in that the cross section of each fiber has a shape consisting of one major axis and at least two minor axes nearly perpendicular to the major axis and that the single-fiber fineness is 25 to 70 dtex. This artificial hair is soft to the touch and bulky (voluminous) to impart a good feel to hair accessories and exhibits excellent combing properties and braidability, thus giving hair accessories (such as wigs, hairpieces, braids, extension hair and doll hair) which have excellent feel and settability.

  • Publication number: 20080090047
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pile fabric comprising at least a long pile portion and a short pile portion to form a step, the pile fabric having a specific pile portion other than the long pile portion, which contains at least 3% by weight of an acrylic fiber (A) based on the entire pile portion, wherein the acrylic fiber (A) has a transmittance of light in a range of 15 to 70% in a direction of width of the fiber and a maximum surface reflectance of light in a range of 30 to 80% at an incident angle of 60 degrees in a direction of length of the fiber, and the pile fabric obtained thereby has an animal hair-like appearance with a distinct step.

  • Publication number: 20060057344
    Abstract: An anti-glare film with no color alone is provided, and it is applied to a display by combining with a back light or liquid crystal cell, so that unnecessary coloring is avoided and superior coloring development properties are exhibited. In an anti-glare film having a transparent substrate and an anti-glare layer provided on at least one surface of the transparent substrate, the anti-glare layer is formed by transparent resin which disperses at least two kinds of resin fine particles, and when a layer is formed by transparent resin which disperses each kind of the resin fine particles alone and light transmittance spectrum in a visible light region of the layer is measured, each of the light transmittance spectra is different.

  • Publication number: 20030163907
    Abstract: A pile product, wherein shrinkable staple fibers and non-shrinkable staple fibers are mixed to prepare a sliver, and the sliver is subjected to pile-processing to constitute a pile portion. The sliver contains 20 to 98% by weight of the shrinkable staple fiber having a shrinkage percentage of 15% or more, 0.300 or less of statical friction coefficient between fiber-fiber after shrinkage, an average fiber length of 15 to 25 mm, and larger waves, including primary crimps, of 1 to 3/inch, and has a sliver strength of 3 g/g/m or more. The shrinkable staple fiber preferably has an organopolysiloxane deposited on the surface thereof. The sliver is subjected to pile-processing to constitute a pile portion. Operating property is good in spinning fibers which constitute a pile portion, and fiber loss in pile-processing is less. The pile product is excellent in a drape property, and has an appearance- and a feeling, very similar to those of a natural fur.

  • Patent number: 4518249
    Abstract: The present invention concerns with a slit illumination system for use in a copying machine or the like, which includes a light source, a first and second elliptical mirrors, a third plane mirror, and a supplemental mirror positioned behind the light source and between the first and second mirrors. The supplemental mirror directs the light which does not contribute to the illumination by the first and second mirror to the original through a light path extending directly to the original and/or a light path extending to the original through the third mirror.

  • Patent number: 4284346
    Abstract: An electrophotographic copying machine comprises a transparent support for the support of an original to be copied, a photo-receptor, an optical projecting system for projecting an image of the original onto the photo-receptor and an exposure adjustment for controlling a pattern of distribution on the photo-receptor of rays of light carrying the image of the original. The optical projecting system includes a projecting lens assembly supported for movement between at least first and second positions wherein the image of the original can be reproduced on a copying paper in different magnifications. The exposure adjustment is positioned between the transparent support and the optical projecting system and is comprised of a fixedly supported light shielding member.
