Abstract: A wiring module including a flexible printed wiring board to be electrically connected to a plurality of power storage elements, wherein the flexible printed wiring board includes: a base film that has insulating properties and has a first surface and a second surface; an adhesive layer that has adhesive properties and is stacked onto the first surface of the base film; a conductive path that is stacked onto the first surface of the base film using the adhesive layer; and a coverlay that is stacked onto the first surface of the base film using the adhesive layer, and covers the first surface of the base film and the conductive path, the conductive path has a fuse portion forming a part of a circuit and having a smaller cross-sectional area than another part of the conductive path, and a resin portion that includes a synthetic resin with insulating properties.

Abstract: A pipe element tube 23 is manufactured by a manufacturing method including step S1-1 for obtaining the pipe element tube 23 by rolling a stainless steel plate material 21 and welding an abutting portion, a core drawing step S1-2 for reducing a diameter and adjusting a thickness of the pipe element tube 23 by using a cored bar 24, and a tube drawing step S1-3 for reducing the diameter and adjusting an outer form of the pipe element tube 23 without using a cored bar. By adjusting repetition times of the core drawing step S1-2 and the tube drawing step S1-3, a uniform concavity and convexity are provided on an inner circumferential surface of the pipe element tube 23. Then a pipe 12 having an annular shaped cross section obtained by cutting the pipe element tube 23 and a linear material 11 having a circular cross section are joined (S2).

Abstract: A pillow that changes its height during lying on the back and lying sideways, automatically and reliably according to sleeping posture of a user. No adjustment is necessary, and the height is stable. A biasing device provided in a hollow of the head placement member of a pillow is equipped with a link mechanism including a load supporting link, a rear end side of which being placed slidably on an upper end portion of a rear side link and a front end side thereof being connected rotatably to a front end side of an upper side link, and a tension spring for biasing the load supporting link to push the same upwards.

Abstract: The invention provides a pillow capable of having the height thereof adjusted automatically so that the height of the back of the head of a user in a face-up lying position is slightly higher than his/her back, and also capable of having the height thereof varied automatically between a face-up lying position and a side lying position. A hollow portion 8 having a biasing mechanism 9 disposed therein is formed in a head placement member 3, and when the head is placed face-up on the head placement member 3, the hollow portion 8 is depressed so that the distance between the lowermost portion of the head and the bottom member 2 is in the range of 10 mm to 30 mm. The biasing mechanism has X-shaped links 11 disposed laterally spaced apart in the hollow portion 8. Each X-shaped link is composed by pivotally connecting a first link member 12 slanted upward toward the front and a second link member 13 slanted upward toward the rear by an intermediate link shaft 16.

Abstract: There is disclosed a plastic processing method for easily shaping a tip end of a metal rod material such that a sectional area of the tip end gradually decreases. A metal rod material 3 is contained in a molding groove 2 which is disposed in a mold 1 and whose end 2a has a sectional area smaller than that of the metal rod material 3. Then, a rolling roller 4 is rolled in contact with a mold surface 1a, and the rod material 3 is plastically deformed and molded along a shape of the molding groove 2. Subsequently, a burr 3b is removed. The molding groove 2 has a sectional area smaller than that of the metal rod material 3 on a tip end 2a side, and in addition has a width and depth larger in size than a diameter of the rod material 3 on a rear end 2b side, while having a gradually decreasing sectional area on the tip end 2a side. A rolling roller 14 rotates together with large-diameter rollers 15a, 15b, and is pressed in contact with the mold surface 1a by the rollers 15a, 15b.
