Abstract: A panel case of a display panel is provided with a first fixing piece extending rearward (in the Y2 direction), and a female threaded hole is formed in the first fixing piece. A support bracket is provided with a second fixing piece extending rearward (in the Y2 direction), and an attachment hole is formed in the second fixing piece. The first fixing piece has a first elongate hole portion opened between the female threaded hole and a first base portion, and the second fixing piece has a second elongate hole portion formed between the attachment hole and a second base portion. Therefore, the fastening force from a fixing screw is less likely to be transmitted to the first base portion of the first fixing piece, and strain of the display panel can be regulated.

Abstract: A metal container body 1 comprises a base and a generally cylindrical side wall 3. The top edge of the cylindrical side wall is rolled over to form a hollow annular bead 5 surrounding the upper open end of the container body and a notch 6 is formed at a circumferential point in the annular bead. The container body is for use with a releasable closure 2 formed with an end wall 7 and a depending skirt 8 and having an annular layer of sealing material 9 provided on the inside of the end wall adjacent the skirt. When the closure is pressed onto the container body, the annular bead engages the annular layer of sealing material and some of that material extends into the notch 6. The closure is held on the container only by the partial vacuum formed therein during processing of a food product in the container. After processing, the user opens the container by rotating the closure. Sealing material in the notch forces the closure to lift off from the container to break the seal and release the closure.

Abstract: An improved synthetic resin spout stopper to be combined with a discharge port of a container is provided.

Damage to the annular score is also avoided even when ultrasonic welding is adopted for welding the container and the spout stopper together. In an inner peripheral edge part of the annular flange wall, an annular additional score is disposed adjacent to the annular score radially outwardly of and/or radially inwardly of the annular score.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a waterproof box capable of improving waterproof performance and workability, and space-saving. When high-pressure washing is performed, washing water injected toward the waterproof box hits a peripheral wall of a box main body, and then washing water is increased along the peripheral wall. Since the increased washing water hits a lower surface of a first waterproof portion of a main body side waterproof structure, some force of the water is reduced. Furthermore, a part of the increase washing water passes through a space arranged inside of a wall upward.
