Abstract: A portable water-purifying means comprising an oblong pump room containing a hand pump therein and an oblong water-purifying room containing a water-purifying means therein and being equipped on its upper side with a water outlet in a casing equipped with a water inlet. The pump room and the water-purifying room are arranged in parallel to each other with a partition separating the two rooms, and these rooms communicate with each other through a passage arranged on their bottom sides. The water inlet and the passage are provided respectively with check valves which operates to limit flow of water to the direction from the inlet to the water-purifying room.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing shoes, shoes which are integrated by securing bottoms to ones assembled by joining the edges of uppers and insoles fitted to shoe lasts, are taken in a rapid freezing atmosphere cooled by liquefied gas, in which the surfaces thereof are cooled rapidly. The effect of rapid cooling makes it possible to manufacture shoes which maintain their shape when fitted in correspondence to the shoe lasts without causing any disfigurement thereafter as well as shortening the manufacturing time.
Abstract: An automotive aerator includes a tractor or the like and an aerator carried movable vertically by the tractor or the like. A landing sensor for the detection of the spike pipe of the aerator, a device for driving the spike pipe into soil, and a depth sensor for detecting that the spike pipe has been driven to a predetermined depth in soil are provided so that actuation of the spike pipe driving device is preferably started when the spike pipe engages the surface of the ground and is stopped when the spike pipe reaches the predetermined depth.
Abstract: A powder molding press, for compression-molding a raw powder between a pair of metal molds coupled to a pair of metal mold securing devices. At a preset spacing, the movement of the metal mold securing devices toward each other is electrically detected in order to cut off the driving means advancing the metal mold securing devices. In addition, the movement of the metal mold securing device is mechanically stopped by means of stoppers, with the result that the final position of the metal molds can be precisely regulated.
Abstract: An electronic timer switch capable of controlling the operation of a unit, such as an air conditioning apparatus, according to a preset time schedule even when the unit is switched on.
