Abstract: A fluid circuit includes: a fluid supply device that delivers a working fluid; and an accumulator that accumulates the working fluid which is increased in pressure. A variable throttle valve and the accumulator are disposed in a branch flow passage branched from a main flow passage extending from the fluid supply device to an actuator. A first pressure detector is provided between the variable throttle valve and the accumulator, a second pressure detector is provided in the branch flow passage between the main flow passage and the variable throttle valve, and the variable throttle valve is controllable based on pressures detected by the first pressure detector and the second pressure detector. A check valve is provided in the branch flow passage.

Abstract: A first switching valve that switches between flow passages which allow communication between a first pressure-receiving chamber and a fluid supply device side and flow passages which allow communication between a second pressure-receiving chamber and the fluid supply device side, according to a change in a fluid pressure to be applied, and a second switching valve that is switched to flow passages which apply the fluid pressure to the first switching valve, are provided. The second switching valve includes return device, and is provided to be reciprocatable between an operation position to which the second switching valve is moved by a stroke of a piston and a return position to which the second switching valve is moved by the return device. The piston and the second switching valve are movable independently of each other.

Abstract: A fluid circuit includes first switching valve that switches between flow passages and first flow passages according to a change in a fluid pressure to be applied, a second switching valve that is switched to a flow passage which applies the fluid pressure to the first switching valve, when a piston has reached an initial position or an end position, and second flow passages. A biasing force of a biasing member when the piston reaches the end position is smaller than a pressing force acting on the piston due to the fluid pressure caused by a fluid supply device, and a biasing force of the biasing member when the piston reaches the initial position is larger than a sum of a flow passage resistance force acting on the first flow passages and a flow passage resistance force acting on the second flow passages.

Abstract: A solid drawing material containing a gel-forming substance of an alkali metal salt or an ammonium salt of an aliphatic carboxylic acid having 8 to 36 carbon atoms, an alkoxylated nitrogen-containing compound, a reduced starch saccharide, and a coloring agent. The solid drawing material which is in the form of a stick features a large strength, a small drawing resistance, is less subject to be collapsed or broken, produces little shavings while drawing, makes it possible to favorably form a drawing even on smooth surfaces such as windowpanes, and of which the traces after drawn can be easily wiped out with a wet cloth.
