A side wall 11 of the main unit is provided with an entrance 11a and an opening-and-closing member 11b that opens/closes the entrance, the dust collection unit is provided so as to project from a roof panel 15 to a floor panel 16 at a position closer to an other side wall 12 that is opposed to this side wall so as to partition the interior of the main unit, and a working space 10a and a ventilation duct 10b are defined in the main unit. A roof panel 15 above a working space has air suction holes 17 formed therein, and an intake opening 22 that communicates between the dust collection unit and the ventilation duct is provided.

Abstract: To provide an apparatus for supplying a constant quantity of abrasive that can accurately control abrasive quantity supplied to a blasting machine. A rotating disk 20 that rotates in the horizontal direction is provided inside an abrasive tank 10, with a gap 3 being capable to rotate the rotating disk 20, being formed at an end 11a of a mixed fluid flow path 11 arranged on one surface of the rotating disk 20, and at an end 12a of a gas flow path 12 arranged facing other surface of the rotating disk 20 via the rotating disk 20 at the end 11a of the mixed fluid flow path 11. Hole sections 21 are provided in the rotating disk 20 on a rotation locus passing through the gap 3, equally spaced and passing through in a thickness direction of the rotating disk 20, with stirrer blades 22 protruding from the upper surface of the rotating disk 20, and the rotating disk 20 being immersed in abrasive stored inside the abrasive tank 10, except for a part positioned in the gap 3.

Abstract: An apparatus for supplying a constant amount of abrasives that can accurately control the amount of the abrasives to be supplied to a blasting machine is provided. A horizontally rotating disc 20 is provided in an abrasive tank 10 so as to be embedded in the abrasives. An opening at one end 11a of an abrasive transport path 11 is formed so as to be close to or in contact with one surface of the disc 20, an opening at one end 12a of a supply channel 12 for transport air flow is formed so as to be close to or in contact with the other surface of the disc 20, and an abrasive retrieve section 5 is formed between the both openings. Furthermore, measuring holes 21 penetrating the disc 20 in the thickness direction are formed at regular intervals along a rotation orbit of the disc 20 passing through the retrieve section 5, and an introduction path 17 for compressed gas which is ejected to the abrasives disposed above the measuring holes 21 and outside the retrieve section 5 is provided.

Abstract: A small and thin pressing direction sensor that can continually detect pressing directions in the angle range of 360 degrees is provided. This pressing direction sensor includes a ring-like resistive film pattern, a first electrode pattern, and a conductive member that electrically connects the resistive film pattern and the first electrode pattern when pressed. The voltage of the first electrode pattern represents the pressing direction. This pressing direction sensor may further include a second electrode pattern. A signal representing the pressing force can be obtained from the second electrode pattern when the pressed conductive member is brought into contact with the second electrode pattern.
