Abstract: There is disclosed a fire-retardant resin composition, which comprises: a thermoplastic resin component (A) comprising (a) a block copolymer mainly made of a vinyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene compound as its constitutional components, and/or a hydrogenated block copolymer of the block copolymer, (b) a nonaromatic-series softener for rubber, (c) an ethylene/?-olefin copolymer, and (d) a polypropylene resin; and (e) an organic peroxide, (f) a (meth)acrylate-series and/or allyl-series crosslinking aid, and a metal hydrate (B), wherein a specific amount of the metal hydrate (B) to be used is a metal hydrate being pretreated with a silane coupling agent, and the fire-retardant resin composition is a mixture of the above formulation that is heated and kneaded at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting temperature of the (A). There is also disclosed a wiring material and other molded parts, in which the resin composition is utilized.

Abstract: Top or bottom structure for a paper container with a flat type top or bottom having opposed outside bottom plates formed of board paper having thermal adhesive plastic layers on both front and back surfaces and opposed inside bottom plates having folding lines of isosceles triangular shape. A first end piece (10) extending from a first outside bottom plate (6), disposed at the outermost side during assembling and shaping, extends further than other end pieces (11, 12, 13). A second end piece (12) of a second outside bottom plate (8) is formed in a tongue shape by first and second cutouts at right and left sides, which first and second cutouts are equal in depth to adjacent additional cutouts extending 2/5 of the length along the inside bottom plates. Third and fourth cutouts (26, 27) are formed on the second outside bottom plate at the right and left sides of the second end piece, and an assembling and folding line (30) is formed between the points of greatest cutting depth of said third and fourth cutouts.

Abstract: A blank structure for liquid having horizontal and vertical fold lines, bordered by specifically designed indented fold lines, the depth of grooves of the fold lines are gradually decreased toward the crossings of the respective fold lines. Thus, cracks or pinholes at the corners of the folded blank due to the folding stress in case of forming a container can be completely prevented.

Abstract: A method of rolling raw materials inclusive of slabs for the manufacture of beam blanks, and a roll to be used therefor, are disclosed. This method includes the steps of (a) subjecting a raw material, whose section consists of a web portion and a flange portion(s) having a width wider than the thickness of the web portion, to such a partial rolling that the web portion is partially rolled at regions inclusive of at least the joints of the flange portion(s), except the remaining central region, among a plurality of regions divided in the widthwise direction of the web portion, and (b) subjecting only the remaining central regions to a rolling.
