[0002]

Few childhood experiences are as unpleasant as a visit to thedentist. In addition to the actual discomfort of the treatment, that
unmistakable odor, and the high-pitched sound of the drill, the grotesqueshapes of the periodontal scalers, excavators, and hand cutting instruments
often leave deep-rooted impressions of nightmarish experiences at the dentaloffice. Accordingly, even in adulthood, many will habitually procrastinate adental appointment, since the perceived discomfort of the treatment that hasbeen ingrained in the subconscious mind seems to outweigh the need for careat the moment, resulting in neglect of decay that can ultimately claim thetooth, subjecting the patient to far more pain than necessary.
[0003]

While many great advances have been made in the drills andsubstances used in dentistry, the shapes of these hand-held tools remain as
ghoulish as ever, the primary reason being that these trademark curvatures
and angles of the distal ends are actually functionally optimal for the job.
PTL 1 discloses a happy-looking pediatric dentistry tool having a sphericalshroud at the tip that conceals these shapes from view of the child until
inside the mouth. The dentist or hygienist can then proceed with scraping,polishing, or the like, as necessary. However, this shroud is not completely
retractable, and tends to obstruct the view of the one administering
treatment.

問２．次の実施形態の抜粋を和訳してください。
[0055]

To prevent excess wear of the surface of the photosensitive drumon which are formed electrostatic latent images, a lubricant delivery
mechanism is provided that delivers a liquid lubricant thereto, thereby
reducing the friction coefficient on the surface thereof. This mechanism
primarily is realized in the form of a delivery roller 20 having a reservoir
layer 22 accommodating the lubricant, formed on a support member 21, andan outer layer 23 on the outer side of the reservoir layer 22. The support
member 21 is a copper rod in the present embodiment, but this is not
restrictive, and may be formed of metal, metal alloy, plastic, ceramic, glass,or any combination thereof.
[0056]The reservoir layer 22 is a porous elastomer matrix having pores

10 to 20 microns in diameter. These pores serve to transport the lubricant
from the supply unit (omitted from illustration) to the surface of thephotosensitive drum. The outer layer 23 is an elastomeric material, having
pores that are substantially smaller than those of the reservoir layer 22.
[0057]

Now, since the viscosity of the lubricant can vary significantlywith temperature, the physical properties of the materials of the delivery
roller 20, the pore size, density, and distribution, and so forth, need to becarefully designed to allow for a constant and uniform delivery amountregardless of temperature.

CLAIMS
1.

A method of constructing a railway carriage side-wall frame

assembly of a kind having a plurality of spaced elongate upright structuralelements (14, 21) interconnected with one or more elongate horizontal
structural elements (12) to form a structural framework comprising the stepsof forming the structural elements of required length and cross-sectional
shape, thereafter providing for each interconnection between upright andhorizontal structural elements a deformed portion (25) on one of theelements for locating the other structural element at the interconnection, bymeans of a tool having a deforming tool part, the relative positions of the toolpart and said one structural element being adjustable to enable variation of
the position of the deformed portion (25) along the length of said one
structural element, and thereafter interconnecting the elements together at
said deformed portion (25) with said other element located by said deformed
portion (25).
