  • Publication number: 20070017337
    Abstract: Electronic keyboard instrument is provided with a leg section supporting thereon a keyboard in such a manner that the keyboard is located at a height falling within a range from 350 mm to 500 mm. Namely, the leg section supports thereon the keyboard at a suitable height that is substantially equal to an average height of ordinary low tables designed on the assumption that they are generally used when users are in a comfortable position. Namely, the “height falling within a range from 350 mm to 500 mm” is derived from survey results of heights of low tables. Thus, when the user sits in front of the keyboard instrument, the user can take a comfortable position as when sitting in front of a low table, and, even in such a comfortable position, the keyboard is located at a right height for playing. With such arrangements, the user is allowed, at any desired time, to readily enjoy playing the instrument in a natural playing posture.

  • Patent number: 7074482
    Abstract: An antibacterial polyamide filament which comprises a polyamide resin containing 0.1 to 5.0 mass % of fine zinc oxide particles and exhibits a color difference caused by the treatment with an alkaline solution of 2.5 or less; and a method for producing the antibacterial polyamide filament which comprises adjusting the moisture content of a polyamide resin chip to 0.05 to 2.0 mass %, followed by melt spinning. Preferably, the antibacterial polyamide filament has a bacteriostatic activity after 50 washings of 2.2 or more, which filament can be produced by melt-spinning the polyamide resin to melt spinning and solidifying the resin at a position 400 mm or less from the face of a spinning nozzle.
