Patents by Inventor Shinji Motokawa

Shinji Motokawa has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8900107
    Abstract: To provide a conductive rubber member which exhibits small variation in electrical resistance and a stable electrical resistance for a long period of time. The conductive rubber member include a conductive elastic layer formed of a rubber material which has been imparted with electrical conductivity, wherein the conductive elastic layer has a surface-treatment layer which has been produced through impregnating a surface portion of the conductive elastic layer with a surface-treating liquid containing an isocyanate compound and carbon black which has undergone dispersion treatment.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 2, 2014
    Assignee: Synztec Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Shinji Motokawa, Naoki Hirakawa
  • Patent number: 8090295
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a conductive rubber member which exhibits small environmental dependency and stable electrical resistance. The conductive rubber member is formed of a conductive elastic layer which has been imparted with conductivity by means of a conductivity-imparting agent. The conductive elastic layer has, at a surface portion thereof, a surface-treated layer which has been formed through impregnating the surface with a surface-treatment liquid containing an isocyanate component and an ion-conducting polymer.

  • Patent number: 7922637
    Abstract: The present invention provides a conductive roller which has excellent resilience in response to deformation and exhibits small variation in electrical resistance. The conductive roller has a metallic core, a conductive elastic layer formed on the outer surface of the core to which layer conductivity has been imparted by carbon black, and a surface-treated layer formed through impregnating a surface of the conductive elastic layer with a surface-treatment liquid, wherein the difference ?Hs (Hs1?Hs2) between micro-hardness Hs1 of a surface of the conductive roller and micro-hardness Hs2 of the conductive elastic layer after removal of the surface-treated layer, the hardness being determined by means of a micro-hardness tester, is 5% or less of the micro-hardness Hs2.
