1. A machine part selected from a group including a vibration damper for an automobile, a sealing member for an automobile, and a rotary member for an image forming apparatus, having a portion to be in contact with another object, said portion being made of an organic polymer material selected from a group including resin and rubber, and said portion having a flexible surface entirely or partly coated with a DLC (diamond like carbon) film having a wear resistance and a lubricity as well as a thickness exhibiting flexibility substantially conforming to the flexibility of the surface of said portion.
2. A machine part selected from a group including a hose, a sealing member, and a sheet, each employed in a machine, and having a portion to be in contact with another object, said portion being made of an organic polymer material selected from a group including resin and rubber, and said portion having a flexible surface entirely or partly coated with a DLC (diamond like carbon) film having a wear resistance and a lubricity as well as a gas barrier property and having a thickness exhibiting flexibility substantially conforming to the flexibility of the surface of said portion.
3. A diaphragm of a diaphragm pump employed in a machine having a portion to be in contact with a liquid, said portion being made of an organic polymer material selected from a group including resin and rubber, and said portion having a flexible surface entirely or partly coated with a DLC (diamond like carbon) film having a wear resistance and a water repellency as well as a thickness exhibiting flexibility substantially conforming to the flexibility of the surface of said portion.
4. A wiper blade employed in a machine and having a portion to be in contact with water and a window pane of the machine, said portion being made of an organic polymer material selected from a group including resin and rubber, and said portion having a flexible surface entirely or partly coated with a DLC (diamond like carbon) film having a wear resistance and a lubricity as well as a water repellency, and having a thickness exhibiting flexibility substantially conforming to the flexibility of the surface of said portion.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
What is claimed is:
1. A vehicle’s side impact test apparatus comprising:
an impact pole fixedly projected from a barrier; and
a vehicle carrier system for propelling a test vehicle to the impact pole along a leading road.
2. A vehicle’s side impact test apparatus of claim 1 wherein the vehicle carrier system has four carriers, each comprising:
a rolling member;
a support member rotatively connected to the rolling member;
a mounting plate fixed to the support member for mounting the carrier to a wheel hub.
3. A vehicle’s side impact test apparatus of claim 2 wherein the rolling member comprises:
a roller; and
a shaft penetrating a center of the roller for providing a rotational axis to the roller.
4. A vehicle’s side impact test apparatus of claim 2 wherein the support member comprises:
a support plate having fixing holes on both side end portions thereof for fixing the support to the mounting plate; and
a pair of arms vertically projected from a front surface of the support plate in parallel for rotatively receiving the rolling member between the arms.
5. A vehicle’s side impact test apparatus of claim 2 wherein the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of fixing holes on both side end portions for fixing the support member to the mounting plate.
6. A vehicle’s side impact test apparatus of claim 2 wherein the mounting plate has an upwardly projected portion with respect to a width thereof such that a plurality of coupling slots are circumferentially formed with a predetermined angle to each other for receiving studs of a wheel hub.
