Abstract:
Provided is a disc brake capable of preventing large positional shift of a position of abutment of a return spring against a mounting member, which occurs with wear of a friction pad and the like. The return spring for biasing the friction pad in a direction away from a disc includes a fixed portion on one side, which is fixedly mounted to the friction pad, an extending portion extending from the fixed portion in an axial direction of the disc and in a direction away from the friction pad, a turned-back portion formed by turning back a distal end side of the extending portion toward the mounting member, and an abutting portion provided on a distal end side of the turned-back portion so as to be elastically brought into abutment against a side of the mounting member. A portion (bent portion) of the turned-back portion, which is formed by bending the turned-back portion at the middle thereof, is located at a position separated farther away from the fixed portion than the abutting portion in a disc rotating direction.
Abstract:
Provided is a disk brake capable of improving fabrication efficiency. A transmission member (101) includes: an anti-rotation locking portion (130) formed on an outer circumferential portion of the transmission member, the anti-rotation locking portion being slidably fitted into a fitting area (72) on a cylinder (35) side so as to restrict rotation relative to the cylinder (35); and a seal groove (109) formed in an inserted portion (105), the seal groove storing a sealing member (118) for creating the cylinder (35) and a cam chamber (62). The anti-rotation locking portion (130) is fitted into the fitting area (72) on the cylinder (35) side before the sealing member (118) is positioned inside a hole (59) when the inserted portion (105) of the transmission member (101) is inserted into the hole (59).
Abstract:
A disc brake that suppresses braking noises when a vehicle moves backward include an urging spring urging a friction pad toward a rotationally exiting side of a disc when the vehicle moves forward, the urging spring being arranged between a hook portion of the friction pad and a torque receiving portion of a carrier. The urging spring formed through bend of an elastic plate material has its spring constant that is set to be a small value to avoid resonance frequency causing noise where the base end side thereof is fixed to the hook portion of the backing plate while the top end side thereof elastically abuts to the torque receiving portion of the carrier. The urging spring is located at the position that is outside in the radial direction from the center position of the hook portion in its width direction.
Abstract:
A fuel reformer burner in which fuel gas and anode-off-gas (AOG) may be burned and backfire may be prevented during combustion of AOG includes a fuel supply portion, an anode-off-gas (AOG) supply portion; and a combustion air supply portion. The fuel supply portion and the AOG supply portion are arranged inside the combustion air supply portion, which is formed to extend beyond the discharge sides of the fuel supply portion and the AOG supply portion.
Abstract:
Provided are a toner for developing an electrostatic image comprising a crystalline resin having an ester bond and at least one of a sulfide bond or a disulfide bond in the main-chain, an electrostatic image developer and an image-forming process by using the same, a method of producing the toner for developing electrostatic image, and a resin particle dispersion using the same.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a toner for electrostatic image development, comprising a crystalline ester compound synthesized by polymerizing a carboxylic acid component with an alcohol component, a non-crystalline resin, a colorant and a releasing agent, wherein the weight-average molecular weight of the crystalline ester compound is 5000 or less, and the number of carbon atoms in at least one component selected from the carboxylic acid component and the alcohol component is 10 or more.
Abstract:
An image structure includes a normal toner image formed on an image support and comprising toner particles; and an adhesive toner image formed on or around the normal toner image, serving as a repeelable adhesive layer and comprising toner particles. The toner particles of the adhesive toner image have a glass transition point Tg in a range of from 30° C. to 50° C. and a melting point Tm in a range of from 70° C. to 110° C.
Abstract:
A coaxial speaker includes: a woofer including a center pole; a tweeter including a diaphragm, a frame to hold an outer circumference of the diaphragm, a dust cap attached to the diaphragm, and components constituting a magnetic circuit; and a support member disposed between the center pole of the woofer and the tweeter. The support member has a hollow that is communicated with an enclosed space present behind the diaphragm of the tweeter via at least one passage.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an image supporting material for fixably supporting a color toner image, the material including a base material, a light scattering layer provided on the base material and containing a white pigment and a thermoplastic resin, and a color toner receptive layer provided on the light scattering layer and containing at least a thermoplastic resin, wherein the thermoplastic resin in the light scattering layer is constituted of a polyolefin or a polyolefinic copolymer having a temperature, at which viscosity becomes 5×103 Pa·s, of 100° C. or higher, and the thermoplastic resin in the color toner receptive layer is constituted of a resin obtained by melt mixing of a crystalline polyester resin and an amorphous resin and having a temperature, at which viscosity becomes 103 Pa·s, equal to or higher than 65° C. but lower than 80° C.
