  • Publication number: 20230220243
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a double-sided adhesive film which has a generally equal elongation in the XY (longitudinal and transverse) directions, more preferably in the thickness direction, while being prevented from the occurrence of adhesive protrusion or glue burr, and which has higher adhesive force and higher holding power in comparison to similar single-layer adhesive articles, while being applicable to a stretchable or flexible adherend.

  • Publication number: 20220355753
    Abstract: A shock absorbing component (a vehicular component having a shock absorbing structure) formed from an aluminum alloy hollow extrusion in an elongated shape includes a collision wall, a non-collision wall, an upper wall, a lower wall, and an inner rib. The collision wall forms a collision surface. The non-collision wall forms a non-collision surface 1B. The upper wall and the lower wall 40 connect the collision wall to the non-collision wall. The shock absorbing component is mounted to a vehicle with a stay (a mounting member) on the non-collision surface. The collision wall and the non-collision wall include joint portions joined to the inner rib. The joint portions of the collision wall and the non-collision wall include a collision wall-side recess formed by recessing the collision wall toward the inner rib in the longitudinal direction of the shock absorbing component and a non-collision wall-side recess formed by recessing the non-collision wall toward the inner rib in the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 11007957
    Abstract: A bumper structural body (100) includes a bumper reinforcement (10), energy absorbing members (30a, 30b), and intermediate members (50a, 50b). The sloped sections (12a, 12b) of the bumper reinforcement (10) are connected to the energy absorbing members (30a, 30b) and the intermediate members (50a, 50b). The intermediate members (50a, 50b) are each formed in a quadrilateral by connecting a first portion (51) contacting the energy absorbing member (30a, 30b), a second portion (52) contacting the bumper reinforcement (10), and portions connecting the first portion (51) and the second portion (52).

  • Patent number: 9892855
    Abstract: An external electrode includes a sintered metal layer disposed on at least an end surface and a conductive resin layer disposed on the sintered metal layer. The sintered metal layer includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion is disposed at a central region of the end surface. The second portion is disposed at a part of a peripheral region of the end surface, and extends to an edge portion of the end surface from the first portion. The third portion is disposed at a remaining part of the peripheral region of the end surface. The thickness of the second portion is less than that of the first portion. The thickness of the third portion is less than that of the second portion. The first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are covered with the conductive resin layer.

  • Patent number: 9496088
    Abstract: An electronic component comprises an element body and an outer electrode. The element body has a pair of end faces opposing each other, a pair of main faces opposing each other while extending so as to connect the pair of end faces to each other, and a pair of side faces opposing each other while extending so as to connect the pair of main faces to each other. The outer electrode is formed on the end face side of the element body and covers a portion of the main and side faces adjacent to the end face. At least a surface of an electrode portion of the outer electrode located on the side face side thereof is covered with an insulating layer.

  • Publication number: 20130020913
    Abstract: An electronic component has an element body, an external electrode, and an insulating material. The element body has a pair of end faces opposed to each other, a pair of principal faces extending so as to connect the pair of end faces and opposed to each other, and a pair of side faces extending so as to connect the pair of principal faces and opposed to each other. The external electrode is formed on the end face side of the element body and covers a partial region of the principal face and/or a partial region of the side face adjacent to the end face. The insulating material covers a surface of the element body except for one face which is the principal face or the side face and at least a part of which is covered by the external electrode, and the external electrode formed on the surface.
