  • Patent number: 6160053
    Abstract: A fluorine-containing copolymer composition comprising a fluorine-containing elastomer and a fluororesin, both having reaction sites capable of reacting with a common crosslinking agent gives crosslinking molding products having distinguished roll processability, moldability and mechanical strength, where crosslinking molding is carried out preferably by a peroxide crosslinking system or polyol crosslinking system, and the low temperature characteristics is considerably improved when the fluororesin has a softening point of not less than 120.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 6124404
    Abstract: A fluorine-containing graft copolymer produced by copolymerizing at least two kinds of monomers selected from the group consisting of fluorinated monomers and propylene in the presence of a saturated iodine-containing compound or an iodine and bromine-containing compound, and further graft copolymerizing the resulting copolymer with tetrafluoroethylene and polyfluorovinyl ether represented by the general formula:CF.sub.2 .dbd.CFOCX.sub.2 (CF.sub.2).sub.p Y(where X is H or F, Y is H or F and p is 0-3), where an unsaturated iodine-containing compound or an unsaturated bromine-containing compound may be used together with the saturated iodine-containing compound or iodine and bromine-containing compound. The resulting fluorine-containing graft copolymer is a thermoplastic fluorine-containing copolymer elastomer capable of giving molding products having a distinguished compression set in a high temperature region such as about 280.degree. C.

  • Patent number: 5895901
    Abstract: A push-on switch includes a contact substrate provided thereon with a switch contact assembly, and an elastically deformable member disposed on the switch contact assembly. The push-on switch further includes a push button having a plate portion and a tubular portion. The tubular portion extends downward from the peripheral edge of the plate portion to surround an upper portion of the elastically deformable member. The plate portion is formed with a recess on an underside thereof at its center. A bottom surface of the recess is placed on a top surface of the elastically deformable member. The push-on switch further includes a tubular case fixed to the contact substrate. The tubular case supports the tubular portion of the push button so as to be vertically movable in the tubular case.
