  • Patent number: 8960529
    Abstract: Provided is a fare box which enables passengers to smoothly pay fares using bills without hesitation even when a bill transportation passage is disabled due to jamming of a bill or a breakdown. Two entrances, which are a bill normal receiving opening and a bill backup receiving opening, are provided as bill receiving openings of the fare box. Either of the bill normal receiving opening and the bill backup receiving opening is allowed to be selectively opened by a shutter member. At normal times, the bill normal receiving opening is put into operation with the shutter member positioned at a normal position. When a bill normal transportation passage has become jammed with a bill, the shutter member is shifted from the normal position to a bypass position on the basis of an operation performed on a bill receiving opening switch lever, whereby the bill backup receiving opening is opened instead of the bill normal receiving opening.

  • Publication number: 20080128269
    Abstract: Decrease in the ozone concentration that becomes a problem when high purity oxygen is used as a raw material gas is prevented. A high purity alumina substrate having a high screen degree is used as a dielectric. A catalytic substance to hinder the decrease of the ozone concentration is fixed on the surface of the alumina substrate as the dielectric by a baking fixing agent. The baking fixing agent is a glass that becomes a paste form that is capable of powder kneading the catalytic substance and attaching to the surface of the dielectric, fixes the catalytic substance on the surface of the dielectric by hardening by baking, and shows ozone resistance and sputtering resistance under the production of ozone in the discharge gap, and forms a functional film containing a large amount of the catalytic substance and is stable on the surface of the dielectric.

    Abstract: To enable to reduce a manufacturing cost and to generate high-concentration ozone gas, in a plate-type discharge cell for ozonizer. To improve ozone concentration without depending on reduction of a gap amount in a discharge gap. Dispose dielectric bodies between a high-voltage electrode and a low-voltage electrode to form a discharge gap. On a back surface side of the high-voltage and the low-voltage electrodes, a high-voltage insulating plate and a low-voltage insulating plate are disposed, respectively, for insulating the electrodes and from cooling water. A thickness of the high-voltage insulating plate is set to not less than 0.5 times and not more than 3.5 times the total thickness of the dielectric bodies, which are disposed between the high-voltage and the low-voltage electrodes. Opposed surfaces of the dielectric bodies, which contact the discharge gap, are smoothed such that a roughness Ra thereof is not larger than 2 ?m.
