  • Patent number: 9689131
    Abstract: A water repellent sand layer that is made of water repellent sand and serves as a water shield layer is provided to be slanted between upper and lower soil layers, a water conveying belt portion is provided to include at least one or both of gravel and a culvert that are provided between the water repellent sand layer and the upper soil layer, and a water shield wall is provided at a slant downstream side. Water falling and permeating from a ground surface into the soil layer is blocked by the water repellent sand layer, flows downward in the water conveying belt portion located above the water repellent sand layer to the slant downstream side, and is blocked by the water shield wall at the slant downstream side, so that the collected water is recovered from a drain hole in the culvert that penetrates the water shield wall.

  • Patent number: 9409819
    Abstract: A water repellent sand mixture includes at least water repellent sand and cement at a weight ratio of 2% or more and 5% or less relative to the water repellent sand. The mixture achieves condensation between the water repellent sand particles by the hydration reaction of the cement, which improves dynamic stability. The mixture can be kept in a block shape due to such improved dynamic stability, water repellency, and less slidable surfaces of the sand particles.

  • Patent number: 5336162
    Abstract: A medical bandage that permits the support to be easily peeled off from the substrate without the substrate stuck to the wound skin being pulled up. It is composed of a substrate 1, a support 5 consisting of butted two pieces of plastics film having at least one extension part 5a extending beyond the end 1a of the substrate 1, and a releasable strip 8 of plastics adhesive tape stuck to the butting part 6, said adhesive tape having non-adhesive side parts.
