The invention offers an air spring for obtaining a vehicle that renders good comfortableness even at the time of the curved-track running. The air spring for a vehicle has an upper board, a lower board, a diaphragm, and a stopper rubber placed between the lower board and a lower plate. The air spring is provided with a mechanism for restraining the displacement of the stopper rubber, the mechanism having a first restraining member placed on either one of the lower plate and the lower board and a second restraining member placed on the other. The shape of restraining wall surfaces is formed such that in the relative positional relationship between the first and second restraining members, when the first or second restraining member displaces itself such that it delineates an arc by placing the center at the railway truck axis of the railway truck of a vehicle, the spacings between the first and second restraining members at the left side and right side are equal to each other or decrease as the amount of displacement along the arc increases.

Air spring for vehicle and railway truck for vehicle

An electrolyte tank which allows effective use of existing space of various shapes is provided. An electrolyte tank is formed by laminating one or more layers of coated fabric provided by coating a woven fabric of organic fiber with rubber or plastic and processing the laminated coated fabric to a bag-shape.

Electrolyte tank and manufacturing method thereof

Tungsten powder which is a material of high radiation absorptivity is dispersed into unvulcanized fluoro rubber in advance so that the mixture is vulcanized and molded. As the powder of material of high radiation absorptivity, powder having an F.s.s.s. particle size not larger than 50 .mu.m is used. Further, in the case where a mixture of powder having an F.s.s.s. particle size in a range of from 5 .mu.m to 50 .mu.m, and powder having an F.s.s.s. particle size in a range of from 0.5 .mu.m, to 5 .mu.m, is used as the powder of material of high radiation absorptivity, the powder of material of high radiation absorptivity has good tensile strength, good extensibility and more excellent radiation shielding ability, when the weight of the powder having a particle size in a range of from 4 .mu.m to 100 .mu.m is in a range of from 60% by weight to 95% by weight, and the weight of the powder having a particle size smaller than 4 .mu.m is in a range of from 5% by weight to 40% by weight. Both the powder and the vulcanized rubber containing carbon powder have electrical conductivity, so that electromagnetic wave shielding ability is added. In addition, the vulcanized rubber is vulcanized fluoro rubber which is excellent in heat resistance and chemical resistance.
