Abstract: In a soup supply apparatus, when a hopper upper lid and a vertical rotation shaft that has a stirring blade are to be cleaned, at least the hopper upper lid and the vertical rotation shaft are configured to be easily disassembled and to be easily coupled after cleaning as well. In addition, a cylindrical first engaging body on an output shaft side and a cylindrical second engaging body on the vertical rotation shaft side are configured as to be easily and reliably engaged by a free end portion of an upper-portion housing box of a machine body lowered in a downward direction. Furthermore, the apparatus is configured to support the vertical rotation shaft to the hopper upper lid in a stable state.

Abstract: A mobile power generation/water purification system includes, in a housing thereof: a photovoltaic power generation device; a battery that stores electricity generated by the photovoltaic power generation device; a control unit that receives electric power from the battery; and a drive means controlled by the control unit and using the battery as an electric power source. A water purification device is disposed inside the housing in a single flow path connectable to a suction hose and an outflow hose. The drive means of the water purification device is a plurality of drive pumps which are electrically connected to the battery by respective conductive cables. The photovoltaic power generation device is a solar panel wound around a rotation shaft inside the housing. The solar panel can be pulled out directly in a horizontal direction from a horizontally elongated cutout window of the housing.
