摘要:
Using as a vehicle body reinforcing member a bent tube with mixed bends of inward and outward projection according to the present invention makes it possible, during a vehicle body collision, to absorb more energy than and exhibit better impact resistance than a vehicle body reinforcing member that uses one of a known straight tube and a curved tube of radius R entirely. Thus the dimensions (outside diameter, wall thickness) of the steel tube that is used as the vehicle body reinforcing member can be reduced, and the tube shape can be modified, while impact resistance is maintained. Modifying the shape in this manner makes it possible to provide the ever higher required level of vehicle body impact resistance at the same time that it reduces the weight of the vehicle body and lowers the cost. The present invention can therefore be widely used as an occupant protection technology.

A metal tube for reinforcing car body, and a car body reinforcement according to the invention have a curved portion extending over the entire longitudinal length or a local longitudinal length, wherein, when the reinforcement is assembled such that the outer periphery of the curved portion is aligned substantially in the direction of impact applied to the car body, the load ramp gradient, the maximum load and the absorbed energy are all enhanced in case of a car body collision. Particularly, an increase in the load ramp gradient as for the load property at the start of deformation provides an excellent crash capacity in reinforcing the car body. Moreover, the metal tube and the reinforcement according to the invention are capable of satisfying the current requirements for much more crash capacity of the car body, along with both a weight reduction of the car body and a reduced manufacturing cost, and therefore they are applicable in a wide field for protecting occupants in an automobile.

Using as a vehicle body reinforcing member any one of a bent tube with a partial bend of radius R, a tube with a plurality of portions that are bent at radius R, and a bent tube with mixed bends of inward and outward projection according to the present invention makes it possible, during a vehicle body collision, to absorb more energy than and exhibit better impact resistance than a vehicle body reinforcing member that uses one of a known straight tube and a curved tube of radius R entirely. Thus the dimensions (outside diameter, wall thickness) of the metal tube that is used as the vehicle body reinforcing member can be reduced, and the tube shape can be modified, while impact resistance is maintained. Modifying the shape in this manner makes it possible to provide the ever higher required level of vehicle body impact resistance at the same time that it reduces the weight of the vehicle body and lowers the cost.

To provide a differential refractive index detector free from fears for occurrence of personal errors in the judgement of stable condition and capable of performing highly efficient analysis operation, and a liquid chromatograph equipped with the detector. A differential refractive index detector provided with a reference cell, a sample cell, a light source for irradiating light on these two cells, a detecting part for detecting light transmitted through respective cells, and a signal processing part for applying predetermined processing to the output signal from the detecting part, which comprises means for sequentially performing an initial solution purge operation of purging the sample cell and the reference cell with an eluent by passing the eluent through the cells at the start of operation of said detector, a stabilizing solution purge operation of allowing the eluent purge of sample cell and reference cell to proceed and at the same time, confirming the stable condition thereof, and a stability confirming operation of confirming whether or not the detector has stabilized in an analysis capable condition by passing the eluent only through the sample cell, and means for announcing that the detector has stabilized in the analysis capable condition. According to the differential refractive index detector of the present invention, the processing from the initial solution purge operation to the stability confirming operation can be automated and a highly efficient analysis operation can be attained.

A method for hydroforming a metallic tube comprising primary hydroforming and secondary hydroforming, wherein in the primary hydroforming step, the metallic tube is formed such that a circumferential length of an expanded portion of the primary-hydroformed tube as measured at a wall center region of the expanded portion becomes substantially equal to or slightly shorter than a circumferential length of an expanded portion of a product as measured at a wall center region of the expanded portion, and in the secondary hydroforming step, movable pads incorporated in the dies press the expanded portion formed through primary hydroforming so as to finish the cross-sectional profile of the expanded portion into that of the expanded portion of the product, and said primary hydroforming and secondary hydroforming are continuously performed within the dies. Also disclosed is an apparatus for performing the hydroformation method. According to the method of the present invention, high liquid pressure is not required, and reduction in wall thickness and shape defects can be revented.

A method and apparatus for hydroforming a metallic tube including the steps of: preliminarily expanding the metallic tube over an axial section longer than the length of the expanded portion of a final product as measured in the axial direction of the metallic tube; and compressing the preliminarily expanded portion in the axial direction of the metallic tube so as to form the shape of the expanded portion of the final product. According to the method and apparatus of the invention, frictional resistance between the metallic tube and processing tools can be reduced, and moreover, the internal pressure within the metallic tube can be reduced during expansion processing. Furthermore, the cost for the manufacture of metallic die is reduced, and in addition, yield is improved

A resin composition, which comprises (a) a copolymer containing isocyanate group prepared by subjecting a compound represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 stands for hydrogen or methyl group and an ethylenic unsaturated monomer to copolymerization, and (b) a copolymer containing amino group prepared by subjecting a compound represented by the general formula ##STR2## wherein R.sub.2 stands for hydrogen or methyl group and an ethylenic unsaturated monomer to copolymerization, has a pot life of such an extent as for permitting them to be used as spray-coating, and the resulting film is excellent in flexibility, chemical resistance, water resistance and corrosion resistance, and, besides, rapid in curability, thus being useful as cold-drying coatings on metals, plastics, woods, inorganic materials, etc. and also as adhesives, etc. The resin composition is very good in compatibility, thus being useful in such a field as required high gloss and beautiful finish. Further, the amino group containing copolymer is of relatively high molecular weight, thus being of less toxicity, and, besides, substantially odorless, and, therefore, it causes no injurious problems to health and safety.
