A process for producing a bicycle frame of a fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) including the steps of: forming parts of a bicycle frame such as an upper pipe, a lower pipe, a vertical pipe, a chain stay and a rear fork, or a combination thereof, with an FRP; arranging the bicycle frame parts in a structure of the bicycle frame; forming, with an FRP, lug portions onto the arranged bicycle frame parts at a required position whereat the bicycle frame parts are to be connected and fixed to each other; and curing all of the lug portions at one time, to thereby simultaneously accomplish an assembling of the bicycle frame. A process for forming a lug portion of a FRP bicycle is disclosed which includes the steps of: providing a female mold with a cavity having a shape of a final lug portion; disposing a flexible sheet on a surface of the cavity; arranging frame parts in a structure of a bicycle frame; arranging the female mold at a lug portion of the arranged bicycle frame parts; supplying and foaming a foaming material in the female mold at the lug portion; removing the female mold to leave an assembly of the frame parts with a foamed body; removing the flexible sheet from the female mold; laminating a foaming sheet and then a prepreg of resin-impregnated continuous fibers onto the foamed body; arranging the female mold over the laminated prepreg; and heating to cure the resin while foaming the foaming sheet, to thereby form the lug portion of the FRP bicycle frame.

An improved structure of a gas sensor is provided which is designed for achieving desired crimping of an end portion of a sensor housing to establish a higher degree of gas-tight seal between the housing and a sensor element. The sensor element is fitted within the sensor housing. The end portion of the sensor housing is crimped or bent to urge the sensor element into constant abutment with an inner wall of the housing through a sealing member. The housing has an unique shape and dimensions selected to ensure the higher degree of gas-tight seal regardless of the degree of wear of a crimper and/or dimensional error of the housing.

A gas sensor element has a solid electrolyte body of oxygen ionic conductivity, a target gas electrode and a reference gas electrode formed on both surfaces of the solid electrolyte body, respectively, a porous diffusion resistance layer, and a catalyst support trap layer. The porous diffusion resistance layer covers the target gas electrode and through which target gases to be measured are passing. The catalyst support trap layer is formed on the outer surface of the porous diffusion resistance layer and supports noble metal catalyst. In the gas sensor element, the noble metal catalyst is made of platinum, rhodium, palladium supported in the catalyst support trap layer. In particular, an addition amount of palladium in the total amount of the noble metal catalyst is within a range of 2 to 65 wt %.

In accordance with the present invention, the electrophotographic toner is produced by dispersing and mixing toner components containing a fixing resin, a coloring agent and an electric charge controlling dye, and by melting and kneading the resulting mixture, which is then subjected to pulverizing and classifying. According to the present invention, fine powder generated at the pulverizing and classifying steps is reused as added to a mixture of toner components as already dispersed and mixed at the dispersing and mixing step, and the surface dye density of the electric charge controlling dye is in the range from 1.0.times.10.sup.-3 to 1.7.times.10.sup.-3 g/g, or the rate of the amount of an electric charge controlling dye present on the surfaces of toner particles to the total amount of the electric charge controlling dye, is in the range from 10 to 27% by weight. Even though repeatedly used for a long period of time, the electrophotographic toner does not lower the developer in electric charging characteristics. Further, by adding the fine powder to the mixture as already dispersed and mixed at the dispersing and mixing step, there can be efficiently produced a fine-powder regenerated toner excellent in transfer efficiency, resolution and gradation.

Air fuel ratio sensor for use in an exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine. The sensor has an outer and inner cover 12 and 13 for protection of lead wires 16, 18 and 19 to a detecting element 3 and a heater 5 of the sensor, a rubber seal for 2 for obtaining a sealing between the covers and the lead wires and a water repellent filter 36 for obtaining a seal between the inner and outer covers 12 and 13, while keeping an air ventilation capability of the space inside the covers. For receiving the lead wires 16, 18 and 19, the seal 2 is formed with holes 20such that the minimum thickness between the holes and the minimum thickness between the hole and an outer surface of the seal is 1 mm or more. A crimping of the outer cover 12 is done so that a deformation of the seal 2 in a range between 10 to 20% of the outer diameter is obtained.A crimping of the outer cover 12 is further done at a first section 12A at a larger force for fixation of the outer cover 12 to the inner cover 12 and at a second section 12B at a smaller force for holding the water repellent filter 36 between the outer and inner covers. In the crimping, the crimping at the first section is completed simultaneously or earlier from the completion of the crimping at the second section.
