Abstract: Fishing rod stock is manufactured by winding three prepreg sheets around a mandrel to form three resin layers including high strength fibers. The first resin layer is formed over an entire axial length of the fishing rod stock. The second resin layer is formed on a rearward portion of the fishing rod stock. The third resin layer is smaller than the second resin layer and formed on a rearward region of the fishing rod stock. The high strength fiber of the second resin layer has a higher modulus of elasticity than the high strength fiber of the first resin layer. The high strength fiber of the third resin layer has a higher modulus of elasticity than the high strength fiber of the second resin layer. The high strength fibers of the second and third resin layers progressively increase in quantity toward a rear end of the fishing rod stock.

Abstract: A grip of a fishing rod has an outer layer mounted eccentrically on a core member extending from a reel seat support rearwardly toward a butt end, and an intermediate member disposed between the core member and the outer layer. The intermediate member is more elastic than the core member and less elastic than the outer layer. The core member is formed by placing and bonding together a parallel fiber type primary prepreg sheet and a parallel fiber type secondary prepreg sheet one over the other. The secondary prepreg sheet is smaller than the primary prepreg sheet axially of the core member. The primary and secondary prepreg sheets have fiber orientations crossing each other at a bias angle.

Abstract: A fishing rod has rod stock, and fixed guides formed on the rod stock. Each guide includes an annular line guide element formed of a material having excellent wear resistance, a tubular element mounted on the rod stock, a frame formed integral with the tubular element for supporting the line guide element, and a pair of sleeves mounted on the rod stock. The sleeves are arranged axially of the rod stock with the tubular element placed in between. Each sleeve defines an outer surface having an arcuate sectional shape gently tapered to approach an outer surface of the rod stock as it extends away from the tubular element.

Abstract: A web roll transferring apparatus consisting of a roll stand, a couple of bogies which run on the rails disposed on each side of the roll stand and a turntable disposed in a roll transferring station locating in front of the roll stand so as to be rotatable horizontally; transference of a web roll being designed to be carried out between the turntable and the bogies stopping at the predetermined positions provided on each side of the turntable; characterized in that at least one jack disposed beneath the turntable, which can be operated by a fluid pressure and the like so as to tilt the turntable to one of the bogies or to the side opposite to the roll stand to a predetermined angle, and that jacks for tilting the bogies toward the turntable may be disposed at the positions by the turntable where the bogies are to stop.

Abstract: A fixed guide mounting structure for connecting a fixed guide to a fishing rod includes a mounting seat formed on a predetermined position of the rod. The mounting seat has a larger diameter than fore and aft portions axially of the rod. The mounting seat defines an engaging groove engageable with proximal portions of the fixed guide for limiting circumferential movement of the fixed guide.

Abstract: Disclosed is a drive mechanism for a single facer having a first fluted roll unit consisting of a pair of outer and inner fluted rolls, a second fluted roll unit also consisting of a pair of outer and inner fluted rolls, and a press roll, wherein the press roll is designed to be operated selectively in combination with the first fluted roll unit or with the second fluted roll unit; characterized in that the drive mechanism comprises: a drive gear to be rotated by a suitable drive means fixed upon a drive shaft which is drivingly connected to a rotary shaft of the press roll in such a way that the drive shaft may be rotated integrally with the rotary shaft; a driven gear mounted upon a driven shaft which is connected to the rotary shaft of the outer or inner fluted roll in each of the first and second fluted roll units, to be integrally rotatable with the rotary shaft, the driven gear being freely rotatable upon the driven shaft under engagement with the drive gear; a clutch for achieving ON/OFF shifting of po

Abstract: Disclosed is a single facer having a first fluted roll unit consisting of a pair of radially outer and radially inner rolls, a second fluted roll unit also consisting of a pair of similar radially outer and radially inner rolls, and a press roll, wherein the press roll is designed to be selectively operated in combination with either one of the two fluted roll units before the forming operation is started; characterized in that the first fluted roll unit is disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical plane above the press roll and the second fluted roll unit is disposed vertically below the press roll; and flutes formed upon the surfaces of the radially outer and radially inner rolls of the second fluted roll unit are designed to be smaller than the flutes formed upon the surfaces of the radially outer and radially inner rolls of the first fluted roll unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a liquid transferring unit having a tank carrying a liquid such as, for example, a glue or an ink, an applicator roll with a part thereof being immersed within the liquid disposed within in the tank, a doctor roll which scrapes off or removes the surplus liquid taken up by means of the applicator roll, and a pair of dam plates which are disposed within the tank so as to be movable toward and away from each other along a direction parallel to the axis of the applicator roll; characterized in that the pair of dam plates have regulating sections, respectively, which can be abutted against the opposing circumferential portions of the two rolls, so that the triangular space defined between the two rolls may be closed by means of such regulating sections.

Abstract: A corrugated cardboard producing machine has a preheater for heating a corrugated cardboard sheet of original paper or single face type corrugatd cardboard sheet in each of various processing stages for producing a corrugated cardboard by bonding a liner paper onto a corrugated central core paper. The preheater is provided with a lap amount adjusting tool whose insertion amount between a circumference of a roll of the preheater and the original paper or the single face type corrugated cardboard is adjustable. The lap amount adjusting tool is movable along the circumference of the roll of the preheater.

Abstract: A fishing rod provided at one circumferential side of a bottom rod at a rod body with a reel mounting portion through which a fishing reel is mounted onto the rod body, and behind the reel mounting portion with a grip, so that a sliding member of a hard and wear resistant material and of a predetermined length is mounted on at least one of the surface of the grip at a side of the reel mounting portion and the surface of the same reverse to the reel mounting portion.

Abstract: A fishing rod is provided which includes a rod body which has a tail end portion having a grip and a fishing reel fixture mounted thereon. A cylindrical bend-correcting member is provided at the outer periphery of the rod body in front of the reel fixture. The bend-correcting member is intergral with the rod body and forwardly shifts the position of the base of a bending portion of the rod body. The bend-correcting member is made such that it is easy to hold at its outer periphery by an angler.

Abstract: A method of forming a resist pattern, which comprises printing a predetermined pattern on a substrate by a lithographic technique using a resist ink curable by irradiation of an active energy ray and/or heating, said ink containing (1) a metal chelate resin obtained by reacting (a) at least one resin selected from the group consisting of alkyd resins, modified alkyd resins, fatty acid-modified epoxy resins, urethanized oils and maleinized oils and (b) a metal compound capable of forming a coordination bond using the resin (a) as a ligand and (2) a polymerizable compound containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated bonds per molecule; and curing the printed pattern by irradiating an active energy ray and/or by heating.
