To provide an impact absorbing member that can be arranged flexibly in accordance with the shape of the space where the impact absorbing member is to be arranged. An impact absorbing member according to an exemplary aspect has a plurality of structural members each having hollow tetrahedron structures arranged continuously at prescribed intervals on an axis. Further, an impact absorbing member according to another exemplary aspect has a plurality of structural members woven by a connecting member that is disposed in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the structural members.

The present invention provides a non-aqueous electrode secondary battery supplied with a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising an overcharge additive. The positive electrode material layer constituting the positive electrode in the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is characterized by having a differential pore volume peak A as well as a peak B located on the smaller pore diameter side than the peak A in a pore diameter range of 0.05 &#x3bc;m to 2 &#x3bc;m in a pore size distribution curve measured by a mercury porosimeter, wherein the pore size distribution curve has a minimum C corresponding to a minimum differential pore volume between the peak A and the peak B, such that a ratio (X/X) of the minimum C's differential pore volume Xto a differential pore volume X, which is the larger between the peak A's differential pore volume Xand the peak B's differential pore volume Xis 0.6 or larger.

A rotating member fixing structure includes a shaft member and a rotating member. The rotating member has an axial bore section press-fitted to the shaft member. One of the shaft member and the axial bore section of the rotating member includes a margin adjusting part dimensioned to reduce a press-fitting margin between the shaft member and the axial bore section of the rotating member from an initial press-fitting margin to an effective press-fitting margin that is less than or equal to a prescribed value when the rotating member is press-fitted to the shaft member.
