Title: Shintaro Ohsugi: Innovator in Fastener Technology
Introduction
Shintaro Ohsugi is a notable inventor based in Toyama, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of fastener technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His innovative designs focus on enhancing the performance and usability of fasteners in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of Ohsugi's latest inventions is a slide fastener reinforcement tape. This tape exhibits high performance launderability and peel strength between a reinforcement tape and a fastener tape, even in harsher environments than those described in prior art. The slide fastener reinforcement tape is formed by laminating an adhesive layer on the back surface of a transparent elastomer film. The adhesive layer is characterized as a polyester-based hot-melt adhesive, a two-part type curable adhesive, or a polyamide-based hot-melt adhesive. The melting point of the adhesive layer is higher than 120°C and no more than 160°C, with a melt viscosity at 200°C ranging from 2000 to 5500 poise.
Another significant invention by Ohsugi is a fiber-made surface fastener designed to reduce unpleasant noise during peeling. This fastener comprises joining faces with a plurality of fiber-made engaging elements on one surface of each flat base fabric. By specifying the structure and composition of the base fabric, the sound generated when the surface fastener is peeled off is shifted to a lower tone, thereby reducing discomfort.
