Abstract: There is provided a structure (17) for preventing electrical leakage for use in an electric power tool, typically a grinder (1), encased in a split aluminum housing (2, 3, 4) and provided with a commutator motor (5), a pair of brush holders (12) each including a brush (13) pressed against the commutator (6a) of the motor, and a fan (8) driven by rotation of the commutator motor for drawing air from the outside of the electric power tool through a plurality of air inlets (9) formed in the housing. The split housing includes a removable rear cover (4) that can be detachably fitted on the grinder. The structure is a shield (17) that is provided between the brush holders and the air inlets, for blocking air drawn by the fan from the air inlets to the brush holders.

Abstract: A piping leakage detecting apparatus includes a high pressure gas supply source, a gas implement connected to the high pressure gas supply source via a pipeline, and a switching device mounted on the pipeline for selectively opening and closing the pipeline. A pressure detecting device is mounted between the gas implement and the switching device for detecting the gas pressure inside the pipeline. A leakage judging device is provided to judge that gas leaks when no gas is being used and when a pressure drop is detected based on an output from the pressure detecting device, while the pipeline is being opened and closed by the switching device.

Abstract: A conveyor device for applying a high voltage to a work transported in a coating booth includes a conveyor device main body having a running base running in the coating booth and an electrode attachment attached to the running base being insulated therefrom for carrying the work and applying a high voltage to the work, an electromagnetic wave transmitter disposed in the coating booth for transmitting electromagnetic waves to the running base during running in a high voltage application zone and a low voltage generator means for receiving electromagnetic waves from the electromagnetic transmitter means and a high voltage generator for stepping-up a low voltage outputted from the low voltage generator and supplying a high voltage to the electrode attachment, mounted on the running base.

Abstract: An abnormality detecting apparatus constantly monitors even a slight amount of gas which has leaked by checking a gas supply pipe when it is determined that the pressure regulating function of a pressure regulator is abnormal. The abnormality detecting apparatus detects an abnormality of the regulated pressure of a pressure regulator appropriately by comparing the regulated pressure with a predetermined low value of a pressure regulating range when the gas flow rate is high and with a predetermined high value of a pressure regulating range when the gas flow rate is low.

Abstract: A flow rate of gas is measured with a flow rate measurement means and a "consumption state" defined with a combination of maximum flow rate, the total amount and a consumption time of the gas is therefor detected. The consumption state is compared with a reference consumption condition which is represented by a predetermined consumption state, and when the consumption state exceeds the reference consumption condition, supply of the gas is interrupted. Furthermore, a monitor range of the consumption state is formed, and when a consumption state is present in the monitor range, the reference consumption condition is changed.

Abstract: A gas flow rate is measured and therefrom "consumption state" defined by combination of maximum flow rate, increase of total amount and a consumption time of the gas is detected, and then, the consumption state is compared with a "reference consumption condition" representing a predetermined consumption state; and when the "consumption state" exceeds the "reference consumption condition", a gas control means interrupt supply of the gas; and thereafter, after restoration of the gas control means to gas supply state, the actual gas consumption state is measured for a predetermined time counted by timer when the gas flow rate exceeds a predetermined level.

Abstract: A flow rate of a gas is measured by a flow rate measurement means, and when the flow rate exceeds a predetermined reference value, occurrence of an abnormal state such as escape of the gas is detected and a shutoff means is automatically closed by control of a microcomputer, futhermore, "a gas consumption pattern" showing combination of an amount of gas consumption, maximum flow rate and continuous consumption time of a consumer is observed in a predetermined time period, and a reference value of the gas consumption pattern is decided on the basis of the consumption state, moreover, a decision level of abnormal state is varied and set as a new reference values corresponding to the gas consumption pattern.

Abstract: An atomizing apparatus comprises a body having a chamber into which liquid is supplied. A nozzle member is secured to the body to define a front vibrating member of said of the chamber, the nozzle member having at least one nozzle opening. A capacitive piezoelectric transducer is secured to the nozzle member for producing pressure rises in the liquid to cause the portion of the liquid in proximity to the nozzle opening to be ejected therethrough to the outside. The piezoelectric transducer is connected to an inductance element to form a resonant circuit. An amplifier is connected with the resonant circuit to form a self-oscillating loop to amplify the signal in the loop to sustain oscillation at a frequency variable as a function of the temperature-dependent capacitance of the piezoelectric transducer.
