Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a porous sheet capable of satisfy both the properties of fitting, preventing tightening, and providing comfort immediately after wearing or at a standstill/at rest and the properties of tightening, fixation stability, and providing comfort during exercise such as sports at the same time, as well as a porous composite comprising the porous sheet, or particularly, a porous sheet and a porous composite for clothing, health products, medical supplies, and sporting goods. The present invention relates to a porous sheet made of a thermoplastic elastomer composition (A), having a plurality of slits and/or pores, and having a porosity of 5 to 50%, an anisotropy of 10% or more, and a stretching stress relaxation rate of 40% or less after being stretched by 500% and held for 60 seconds.

Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic elastomer vibration-controlling sheet minimizing numbness of hands, feet, and a body even when a strong impact is applied as in the case where the sheet is bonded to and used on a grip of sporting goods such as a bat and a tennis racket serving as an object to be bonded. The present invention relates to a vibration-controlling sheet having an adhesive on one or both sides of a thermoplastic elastomer sheet that has numerous through-holes at a porosity of 5 to 80% and that has a loss factor tan ? of 0.3 or more at 0° C. and 30 Hz.

Also provided is a method for producing the gas barrier layered product.

Abstract: A vehicle has a vehicle body including a head pipe, a lower side bracket disposed below the head pipe for supporting the head pipe upward in a substantial center of the bracket in the vehicle width direction, and a pair of legs of a front fork fixed in vicinities of the ends of the lower side bracket. The lower side bracket is formed to have a downward sloping shape, which slopes from the ends of the lower side bracket toward its center.

Abstract: A motorcycle in which a central axis of a shaft and a central axis of front forks are not parallel to each other, and assembly work of the shaft, front forks and an upper bracket is not complicated. A steering shaft is rotatably supported by a head pipe. An upper bracket supports the steering shaft and front forks. The steering shaft includes upper and lower steering shafts. The upper steering shaft is inserted in the upper bracket and then fixed to the lower steering shaft.

Abstract: A motorcycle includes a head pipe, a handlebar pipe that is rotatable relative to the head pipe, a main frame extending rearward from the head pipe, and a handlebar lock located on a topside of the main frame to prevent the handlebar pipe from rotating relative to the head pipe.

Abstract: A gas barrier layered product and a method for producing the same are provided. The gas barrier layered product exhibits a high oxygen barrier property regardless of humidity, exhibits a high oxygen barrier property even after being subjected to retort processing, and is excellent in strength and transparency. In order to provide the gas barrier layered product, the gas barrier layered product includes a base material and a layer stacked on at least one surface of the base material. The layer is formed of a composition that includes: a hydrolyzed and condensed product of at least one compound (L) containing a metal atom to which at least one characteristic group selected from a halogen atom and an alkoxy group has been bonded; and a neutralized product of a polymer containing at least one functional group selected from a carboxyl group and a carboxylic anhydride group.
