Abstract: Provided is a heterocyclic compound that can have an antagonistic action on an NMD A receptor containing the NR2B subunit and that is expected to be useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for depression, bipolar disorder, migraine, pain, peripheral symptoms of dementia and the like. A compound represented by the formula (I), wherein each symbol is as defined in the DESCRIPTION, or a salt thereof.

Abstract: There are provided a method and a drum for building a tire in which residual air can be effectively removed by enhancing a pressing force of a carcass band to a bead filler in the turning of the carcass band around a bead core, wherein a cylindrical green case is arranged on an outer peripheral side of a building drum, and a central portion of the green case is expansion-deformed in a radial direction while approaching both the bead cores to each other under a restraint of the bead core through the building drum, and the green case is pressed onto an inner peripheral face of a belt-tread band, and thereafter both the end portions of the carcass band are turned around the bead cores so that the carcass band is pushed onto rigid support members disposed at an inner peripheral side of the carcass band together with the bead cores and bead fillers.

Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing a tire wherein a uniformity of a tire having a reinforcing rubber layer of substantially a crescent-shaped section between a carcass and an innerliner and capable of mainly running at a run-flat state is improved by transferring a carcass band prior to turning of a carcass member around a bead core to a green tire building drum of a cylindrical form from outside in a radial direction, holding the bead core by the green tire building drum, deforming a main body portion of the carcass, turning a turnup portion thereof, attaching an innerliner rubber 12 onto an outer periphery of a first band building drum in a cylindrical form, relatively reducing a size of a reinforcing rubber overlap region of the innerliner rubber 12 every axial position by two times a thickness of the reinforcing rubber substantially corresponding to such a position as compared with a reinforcing rubber non-corresponding region, and then attaching a reinforcing rubber 13 onto the relatively size-r

Abstract: A tire building apparatus comprises a group of many segments enlarging to pushingly lock a bead portion of a green tire, a ring-shaped inner piston engaging with each segment of such a group, a ring-shaped outer piston contacting and engaging with a back face of the inner piston, a cylinder slidably housing the inner piston and the outer piston therein, a pair of gas pressure acting means moving each of the inner piston and outer piston inward or outward in the direction of the axial line, and a stopper formed in the cylinder.

Abstract: Bead wires 4 are set at both ends of a carcass ply 2, to form bead portions 5 and 5. Then, a carcass body 6a incorporated with a toroidal BT band 9 around the outer periphery portion is mounted on a forming drum 13 around which side rubbers 20 are mounted through bladders 16 and 17 at the positions corresponding to the bead portions 5 and 5. Thus, by expansion of the bladders 16 and 17, the side rubbers 20 are press-contacted with both the sides of the carcass body 6a.

Abstract: An apparatus for attaching a tire component member to a rotating toroidal green case includes support shafts whose axes are located substantially in a plane including a rotational axis of the green case. Stitching rollers are supported by the support shafts and rotatable about the axes of the support shafts, respectively. An urging device moves the stitching rollers toward the green case to urge outer circumferences of the stitching rollers against the tire component member. A swing device serves to swing the stitching rollers to continuously move contact points of the stitching rollers with the tire component member from an axially inside to an axially outside, to attach the tire component member to the outer surface of the green case.

Abstract: A tire building apparatus includes a main hollow shaft, a rotatable screw shaft inserted in the main shaft, a pair of slider units axially movably supported so that upon rotating the screw shaft the slider units move through equal distances toward and away from each other, a pair of support member assemblies expansibly and contractibly supported by the slider units for supporting the bead portions of the green case on radially insides by the support member assemblies when expanded to increase their diameters, a pair of movable blocks axially movably supported to be able to abut against the slider units, a drum core in the form of a ring to surround the main shaft between the slider units, a link mechanism connecting the drum core and the movable blocks for expanding the drum core when the movable blocks move axially inwardly toward each other and contracting the drum core when the movable blocks move axially outwardly away from each other, a pair of stoppers for limiting axially outward movement of the movabl

Abstract: For cutting an elongate rubbery strip, there is disclosed an apparatus which largely comprises transmitting means operative to transmit the elongate rubbery strip to a predetermined position, an anvil located underneath the predetermined position and formed with an elongated groove extending at angle with respect to the transverse direction of the rubbery strip, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the elongated groove and the transverse direction of the rubbery strip being variable by means of adjusting means. The apparatus for cutting the elongate rubbery strip further comprises a cutting mechanism operative to cut the elongate rubbery strip on bias throughout the width thereof in cooperation with the anvil.
