Abstract: Disclosed are a solar collection apparatus and a steam generator including the same. The solar collection apparatus includes a housing having an open upper surface; a dual glass plate coupled with the upper surface of the housing and formed therein with a storage space for receiving and storing water, in which solar light is transmitted through the dual glass plate; a first mirror fixed to a lower surface of the housing to collect and reflect the solar light transmitted through the dual glass plate; a second mirror fixed in the housing to reflect the solar light reflected from the first mirror; and an optical fiber having a first end located in the housing to receive the solar light reflected from the second mirror and a second end connected to a place of use to transmit the solar light to the place of use.

Abstract: A coil nailing device for finishing materials is invented that comprises a standby part for temporarily retaining and loading the nails into a muzzle. A door is installed adjacent to the standby part to check the nail supply. A door latch consists of a hook, coil spring and latch hinge shaft. The door and door latch are operated in the lateral direction, perpendicular to the axis of the main body. The muzzle consists of an adapter, lever arm and a pair of arc-shaped sliding grooves formed on both lateral surfaces. The adapter is attachable to the nose of the main body. A clearance setting device is designed to allow the use of various sizes of nails by setting the depth of the magazine depending on the loaded nail size. An interval setting device is convenient to nail a series of shingle panels by setting the panel interval while the coil nailing device is sliding along the edge of the panels.

Abstract: A coil nailer aligns the releasing direction of a door latch with the door opening and closing direction such that a door latch is released to open the door by one touch of a left hand thumb, a contact arm is easily coupled with and separated from a contactor to prevent the contact arm from separating from the contactor and to easily exchange the contactor, a guide device in a magazine filled with various sized nails is moved to precisely guide the nails, and a measuring device measuring intervals between shingles is attached to the magazine such that the shingles are positioned at predetermined intervals without a separate measuring device. Since the plate supporting nails is lowered or lifted according to lengths of the nails, the nails can be effectively guided, the interval between lower and upper waterproof sheets can be measured when attaching shingles and waterproof sheets.

Abstract: A nail retainer for a tacker comprises a guider receiving nails transmitted from a magazine, guiding the nails received therein, and comprising a hole formed through a designated portion of the upper surface thereof; and a stopper axially connected to the hole of the guider, moving together with the movement of a contact arm to prevent the nails received in the guider from dropping when the contact arm moves forward, and releasing a nail-stopping motion for preventing the nails from dropping when the contact arm moves backward. The nail retainer does not cause failure due to the attraction of iron filings remaining in a magazine or a guider onto the surface of the member, differing from conventional nail retainers made of a magnetic material, and moves together with the movement of a contact arm to reliably prevent a nail from dropping, thereby increasing the consumer's reliability.

Abstract: Method for forming a variable circuit connector in a wafer having a plurality of circuit modules, is disclosed, which allows selective cut-off and connection between circuit modules, including the steps of forming an insulating layer on an entire surface of the wafer inclusive of a plurality of connecting layers connected to terminals on the circuit modules, and injecting conductive ions into the insulating layer between the connecting layers intended to connect to each other.

Abstract: An automatic video-tape cassette changing device adapted to be used in combination with a recording and reproducing apparatus comprises: a main body having a rectangular-shaped open space in which a number of cassettes is to be dropped, a cassette entering inlet located in the vicinity of and parallel to the access opening, and a cassette discharging outlet through which the cassette is discharged outwardly; a pair of cassette feeding mechanisms for dropping the cassettes one at a time; unit for inserting or extracting the dropped cassette into or from the access opening of the VCR; and unit for discharging the cassette extracted from the VCR through the cassette discharging outlet outwardly.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an automate cassette changing device adapted to be used in combination with a recording and reproducing apparatus, which comprises a main body having a rectangular-shaped open space suitable for receiving one or more stacked cassettes, a cassette entering inlet provided at a rear wall of the body for supplying the cassette to the apparatus therethrough, and a cassette discharging outlet formed at a side wall of the body for discharging cassettes ejected from the apparatus, projecting pieces provided at a front wall of the body for supporting the stacked cassettes, a pair of cassette feeding mechanisms mounted on the side walls of the body in an opposite relationship with each other for dropping the cassettes in sequence on the bottom surface of the body, and a cassette pusher associated with one of the cassette feeding mechanisms for pushing the lowermost one of the stacked cassettes and separating it from the stacked cassettes.
