Abstract: The eject mechanism is composed of a two-arm lever actuatable with a ram, so that an actuation of the ram acting on the first lever arm creates a release of the plug in contact and an eject motion of the plug in assembly with the assistance of the second lever spatially allocated to the plug-side end of the plug in assembly. In order to achieve different transmission ratios, the first lever arm and the end of the ram facing toward it are fashioned and spatially allocated to one another so that the ram applies to a long lever arm in a first lever phase and applies to a short lever arm in a second lever phase.

Abstract: Provided are a layered crystal structure oxide showing ferroelectricity or paraelectricity and a process for easily producing the same. A raw material containing Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3 as a flux is heated up to 1330.degree. C. or higher and 1450.degree. C. or lower at a suitable temperature-elevating rate (heating step); the raw material is maintained at this heating temperature for prescribed time (constant temperature step); and then, it is slowly cooled down to 800.degree. C. or higher and 1300.degree. C. or lower at a rate of 1.degree. C./hour or more and 20.degree. C./hour or less (slow cooling step).
