  • Patent number: 5736501
    Abstract: The method for producing nonionic detergent granules includes the steps of (I) blending the following (i) to (iii): (i) at least one of a nonionic surfactant and an aqueous nonionic surfactant solution; (ii) an acid precursor of an anionic surfactant capable of having a lamellar orientation; (iii) at least one of an alkali builder and an alkali, porous oil-absorbing carrier, to give a mixture of detergent starting materials containing the nonionic surfactant as a main surfactant component; and (II) heating the mixture obtained in step (I) at least up to a temperature capable of neutralizing the acid precursor of the anionic surfactant in an agitating mixer, and granulating while tumbling the agitating mixer thereby increasing a bulk density, to give nonionic detergent granules having a bulk density of from 0.6 to 1.2 g/ml.

  • Patent number: 4673232
    Abstract: The present invention is for providing the terminal system, wherein, by employing a piece of metallic spring material, the portion which exclusively takes charge of mechanical connection and the portion which exclusively takes charge of electric contact are independently formed on the piece, in other words, the portion taking charge of mechanical connection does not consider the electric contact and the portion taking charge of electric contact does not consider the mechanical connection, therefore, since each portion can fully exert each function, the superiority in mechanical connection and electric contact is obtained.
