  • Patent number: 7427155
    Abstract: A liquid crystal module provides for concave shaped recesses formed in an elastic member along the circumference of a linear light source that is arranged on the side of a light guide, and lamp holders attached to both ends of the linear light source, while ring-shaped hard members are engaged with the recesses. Thus, the hard members serve as a grip against an impact applied to the linear light source, and the linear light source is prevented from being damaged. Accordingly, a sidelight-type liquid crystal module with a liquid crystal panel is thereby obtained, in which the damage to the linear light source (when an impact, or the like, is applied to the liquid crystal panel) is prevented by simple means without affecting the quality of light that is emitted toward the liquid crystal panel.

  • Publication number: 20040076824
    Abstract: A flame retardant polyamide filament comprising a polyamide resin composition which has a tensile strength of not less than 2.0 cN/dtex as measured according to JIS L1013 and comprises 98 to 80 parts by weight of a polyamide resin having a relative viscosity of 2.0 to 4.0 and 2 to 20 parts by weight of a triazine-based flame retardant which is dispersed in the polyamide filament and has an average particle size of less than 5 &mgr;m. Such a flame retardant polyamide filament is not required to contain any halogen-based compound and, therefore, can exhibit a high safety to environments and an excellent strength. Accordingly, the polyamide filament is suitable for production of a multi-filament, especially polyamide BCF obtained by crimping the multi-filament, and further carpets using the polyamide BCF. Also, the polyamide filament in the form of a monofilament is applicable to guard nets for wire harness, mesh sheets, etc.

  • Patent number: 4691536
    Abstract: The waste fiber removing device of the present invention is provided with at least one air jet nozzle and a fluttering motion is imparted to the free outer end of the air jet nozzle so that the air is directed over a relatively wide area of the knitting machine. The air jet nozzle is either stationary or may be rotated to prevent the accumulation of lint on various adjacent parts of the knitting machine. The fluttering motion of the air jet nozzle is preferably accomplished by forming the area adjacent the free end of an elastic or other type of flexible material. Various types of adjusting devices are provided for limiting the fluttering motion of the air jet nozzle so as to vary the area of the knitting machine against which the air is directed to blow away lint and the like.
