Abstract

[Problem] To provide a boot for constant velocity joints, which is configured so that the boot is lightweight, a reduction in the fastening force of a fastening band is prevented, and sealing performance is maintained. [Solution] This boot for constant velocity joints comprises a bellows section 7 provided integrally, in a communicating manner, between a large-diameter-side end section 3 and a small-diameter-side end section 5. The inner peripheral surface of the large-diameter-side end section has: a plurality of thick-walled sections 17 which are formed protruding to the inner diameter side so as to match a plurality of recesses formed in the outer peripheral surface of an outer housing; and a thin-walled section 19 which is disposed between the plurality of thick-walled sections. The inner peripheral surfaces of the thick-walled sections and the inner peripheral surface of the thin-walled section have formed thereon lips 21a, 21b which continue in a circumferential direction and which are in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the outer housing, which includes the recesses, to seal the inside region of the boot. The thick-walled sections have formed therein one or more grooves 18 recessed in a radial direction from the inner peripheral surface side toward the outer peripheral surface side of the large-diameter-side end section. The grooves are formed in the circumferential direction of the thick-walled sections.

Abstract

A wire saw guide roller (10) for guiding traveling of a wire is provided with a circular plate member (20), and an annular outer circumferential member (30) fitted in the outer circumferential surface of the circular plate member (20). The outer circumferential member (30) is an elastic member, and a guide groove (31) for the wire is formed therein. Furthermore, an attaching groove (26) is formed in the circular plate member (20). In the attaching groove (26), a bottom surface (26a) and a pair of inner surfaces (26b, 26b) are formed, and both the inner surfaces (26b, 26b) are perpendicularly formed with respect to the center axis line of the circular plate member (20). The outer circumferential member (30) is press-fitted between the inner surfaces (26b, 26b). With such configuration, the outer circumferential member (30) fitted between the outer circumferential surfaces of the circular plate member (20) can be stabilized.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a durable liquid filled mount which has favorable cushioning properties by allowing large relative displacement, or a large stroke, between a stud and a container, and, even when high frequency vibrations are input, is able to suppress cavitation such that dampening performance is not reduced, as well as absorb low-amplitude high-frequency vibrations. [Solution] A liquid filled mount (1), mounted between a first member and a second member, is for reducing vibration input to the first member or second member, and the liquid filled mount comprises a cup-shaped container (10), a stud (20), a cover member (30), a diaphragm (40), a high-viscosity liquid (50), air, a movable attenuation plate (70), and a supporting member (80). The supporting member (80) is disposed between the diaphragm (40) and the movable attenuation plate (70) or the bottom end of the stud (20), and transmits a compression-direction load acting on the stud (20) to the diaphragm (40).

The centrifugal separation container, which is set in a centrifuge using the attitude maintenance adaptor, is provided with a container body which has a sealed internal space which can contain an item to be centrifuged, and a port which connects the internal space thereof with the exterior thereof. The container body comprises a first containment section having a large volume and a second containment section having a relatively small volume which is connected to the first containment section and which contains the centrifuged sediment. The port has an opening on the first containment section side. The boundary sections of the first and second containment sections or the container walls near to the boundary sections are flexible, and the opposing boundary sections or container walls near to the boundary sections are joined, so that the second containment section and the port opening can be segregated in such as way as not to be connected.

Abstract

Disclosed is an pest insect control method for effectively and relatively safely dispersing a chemical solution containing an insecticide to a space to be treated. The method includes an initial process in which the insecticide-containing chemical solution is continuously sprayed, followed by a process in which the chemical solution is sprayed intermittently. The insecticide is, for example, metofluthrin. This method allows the chemical solution to be dispersed effectively and with relative safety to people and animals other than pest insects.

Abstract

The piston (30) of an air spring (17) is constructed from a first piston body (34) having a mounting tube part (34a) and a flange part (34b) and from a second piston body (35) having a body tube part (35a) and a closure wall (35b). By this, the body tube part (35a) and the closure wall (35b) are integrated together to increase the rigidity of the second piston body (35), and as a result, the leakage of compressed air from air chambers (31, 41) to the outside can be reliably suppressed. In a process of forming the piston (30), the air chamber (31) is formed by removing the mold from the opposite side of the closure wall (35b) of the body tube part (35a), and this eliminates a post-process for forming the air chamber (31), simplifying the production process of the piston (30).

Abstract

A liquid sealed mount (10) is constructed from a vibration damping body (13) and a ring-like elastic body (14). The vibration damping body (13) is attached to a vehicle body frame (11), and the elastic body (14) absorbing vibration is assembled into between the vehicle body frame (11) and a member (12) on the bottom wall side. Because the vehicle body frame (11) takes a load, a case (16) is not deformed. Since high-strength is not required for the vibration damping body (13), weight and cost of the mount are reduced and the mount is reduced in size. Because a load on the elastic body (14) acts in the compression direction, cracks do not occur in the elastic body (14). Because the mount has both a vibration absorption function and a vibration damping function, it has sufficient vibration damping performance.

Abstract

A technique for cutting after blow forming the lower end of an annular large diameter section of a boot body by using an existing cutting device as it is. The boot body (Pm) of a boot for a constant velocity joint has an annular small diameter section (P1), the annular large diameter section (P3), and an annular bellows section (P2) provided between the small diameter and large diameter sections. The small diameter section (P1) and the large diameter section (P3) are fitted on the constant velocity joint. To produce the boot, the boot body (Pm) is primarily formed and then it is subjected to a secondary forming by which a built up section (thick wall sections (T1), a thin wall section (T2)), having a varying wall thickness, is integrated with the outside of the large diameter section. The large diameter section has thin wall regions (F2) and thick wall regions (F1). The regions (F1, F2) are continuous to each other, the thin wall regions (F2) are circumferentially continuous along the thin wall sections, and the thick wall regions (F1) are recessed along the thick wall sections so as to be closer to the center of the boot than the thin wall regions. At the lower end of the thick wall regions are integrally formed extension sections (Pj) extending in a planar form in a radial direction along the bottom surface of the thick wall sections. Extension ends (E1) of the extension sections are continuous on the same circumference as lower ends of the thin wall regions (E2).
