    Abstract: A method for strengthening a housing comprises the following steps: providing a housing being made of colored glaze and having an initial temperature of about 480° C. to about 550° C.; and spraying the surface of the housing using a spray solution containing potassium nitrate, potassium silicate, diatomite, and water to create an exterior layer on the surface. The exterior layer contains K+ ions, and the concentration of the K+ ions gradually decreases from a maximum value in the area of the outside surface of the exterior layer to zero in the area of the inside of the housing.

  • Patent number: 8434617
    Abstract: A toolbox includes a body and a cover. The body includes a rigid base layer and an external layer. The base layer includes a compartment having an opening. An annular wall is formed on a top face surrounding the opening. The external layer is made of soft, compressible material. The external layer is integrally formed with a portion of an outer face of the base layer and the annular wall as a single, monolithic, inseparable piece. The external layer has an annular ridge corresponding to the annular wall. The cover is made of rigid material and includes a covering face. When the cover is in the closed position, the rigid covering face of the cover covers the annular wall of the body, and the rigid covering face of the cover presses against and sealingly engages with the annular ridge of the body.

  • Publication number: 20130092589
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a container for holding a melt of a metal and/or a melt of a metal salt, in which a melt container allows keeping a small amount of heat radiation of the melt, suppressing penetration of the melt and development of breakage or cracking to the minimum, holding the melt suitably, and also preventing the melt from impurity contamination. The melt container of the invention is a container for holding the melt of the metal and/or the melt of the metal salt, and has, sequentially from inside of the container, a first layer constituted of a refractory having an apparent porosity of 12% or less, a second layer constituted of a refractory having a thermal conductivity (at 800° C.) of 4 W/m·K or less, and a third layer constituted of a refractory having a higher thermal conductivity than thermal conductivity of the second layer.

  • Publication number: 20130095265
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-layer container excellent in delamination resistance and gas barrier property, which can be manufactured without employing any molding method involving a special apparatus, which increases a production cost, and a complicated step. Specifically, the multi-layer container includes a laminate structure of three or more layers having at least a gas barrier layer between an innermost layer and an outermost layer, in which the gas barrier layer in a site formed of the laminate structure has a portion having a thickness 0.01 to 0.9 times as large as the maximum thickness of the gas barrier layer. Further, provided are a mold suitable for manufacturing the multi-layer container, and a manufacturing method for a multi-layer container using the mold.
