  • Publication number: 20030184129
    Abstract: A storable and removable jump seat for use in a vehicle. The improved seat provide for convertible seating in the form of a folding jump seat provides conforming appearance, comfort, safety and practicality. The jump seat provides a safe, comfortable and easily storable seat that may be folded and stored against a wall within the vehicle's cargo area in order to expand the available cargo space. The jump seat assembly is also designed to be quickly and easily removable in order to increase the available cargo space within a vehicle. The jump seat may be quickly and easily reinstalled without the need for tools or additional assistance. Multiple jump seats may be arranged within a vehicle to provide a side by side seating arrangement.

  • Patent number: 6403846
    Abstract: A composition containing less than 95 mol % of a trihydrofluorinated saturated hydrocarbon represented by the following formula (I) Rf1—R1—Rf2  (I) (wherein R1 represents a carbon chain in which CHF and CH2 are bound, and Rf1 and Rf2 are bound to each other to form a ring by a perfluoroalkylene chain of 2 to 4 carbon atoms) and the balance of a tetrahydrofluorinated saturated hydrocarbon having the same carbon number and the same carbon structure as the trihydrofluorinated saturated hydrocarbon, as represented by the following formula (II) Rf1—R2—Rf2  (II) (wherein R2 represents a carbon chain in which CH2 and CH3 are bound, and Rf1 and Rf2 are as defined above) is provided as a composition containing, in a high proportion, trihydrofluorocarbon, a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) known to have a small global heating coefficient, which has less influence on the global environment, shows less toxicity to animals, and is chemically stable.

  • Patent number: 6395700
    Abstract: Compounds each having a —CH2—CHF— group and a number of carbon atoms of 4 or above are prepared by hydrogenating a compound having a —CCl═CF— group and a number of carbon atoms of 4 or above in the presence of a noble metal catalyst in a liquid or gas phase. The compound having a —CCl═CF— group and a number of carbon atoms of 4 or above is preferably a C4-C10 alicyclic one, and can be prepared by reacting a compound having a —CCl═CCl— group and a number of carbon atoms of 4 or above with a fluorinating agent.

  • Patent number: 6312759
    Abstract: Providing a fluorinated hydrocarbon with excellent cleaning action, incombustibility and high stability in alkali or water and heat; and a polymer-containing solution prepared by dissolving or dispersing a polymer with film-forming potency, preferably a fluoropolymer, in a solvent containing trihydrofluorocarbon. More specifically, a fluorinated hydrocarbon containing trihydrofluorocarbon with 4 to 6 carbon atoms at 95% or more, as represented by the following formula, is provided, together with a polymer-containing solution containing the same: Rf1—R1—Rf2   (I) wherein R1 represents a carbon chain of CHF and CH2, bound to each other; Rf1 and Rf2 independently represent a perfluoroalkyl group; and Rf1 and Rf2 may be bound to each other, to form a ring.

  • Patent number: 6010826
    Abstract: The invention provides a resist composition comprising a polymer (a) having groups cleavable by an acid and a compound (b) which can form an acid upon exposure to active rays, wherein the polymer (a) is a polymer having, as the groups cleavable by an acid, groups containing a substituted allyloxy group having at least two substituents, and a resist composition comprising a resin binder (A), a compound (B) which can form an acid upon exposure to active rays, and a compound (C) having a group cleavable by an acid, wherein the compound (C) having the group cleavable by an acid is a compound having a group containing a substituted allyloxy group having at least one substituent. The resist compositions have excellent sensitivity, resolution and heat resistance and can provide excellent pattern form.
