Abstract: An air cleaning apparatus for a dust-free and sterile clean room necessary for an industry has a columnar body of predetermined shape having at least an air suction port and an air circulating blower, and at least a duct horizontally extending along the lower surface of a ceiling in a predetermined shape in cross section above the body. The duct has one or more clean air diffuser exits formed in a room to be cleaned for diffusing clean air into the room. This apparatus also has an air cleaning dust collector arranged between the blower and the air diffuser exits. Thus, clean air can be diffused into the room to be cleaned simply and rapidly entirely regardless of the size and the shape of the room and an already-built building. The clean room is quickly and economically constructed using the air cleaning apparatus.

Abstract: A ceramic-metal composite body comprises a ceramic member with a projection formed thereon and a metallic member with a depression or through hole formed therein. The ceramic member and the metallic member are bonded together by fitting the projection of the ceramic member into the depression or through hole of the metallic member. The difference between the outer diameter of the projection of the ceramic member and the inner diameter of the depression or through hole of the metallic member when the projection of the ceramic member is extracted from the depression or through hole of the metallic member is not less than 0.2% of the outer diameter of the projection of the ceramic member.

Abstract: A hydraulic control apparatus is employed in a stepless transmission in which an endless belt is stretched between and wrapped around a pair of pulleys and the velocity ratio between input and output shafts is changed by varying the width of a groove defined in each of the pulleys. Hydraulic pressure supplied from a hydraulic pressure supply source is reduced to necessary levels by first and second adjusting apparatus, respectively, and then sent ot respective cylinder chambers of the pulleys. A controller controls the hydraulic pressure supply source on the basis of either one of the hydraulic pressures respectively reduced by the first and second adjusting apparatus which is higher than the other so that the supply source generates a hydraulic pressure which is sufficiently high to supply the higher hydraulic pressure, thus reducing loss of power in the hydraulic pressure supply source.

Abstract: Process for permanently fastening the end or ends of at least one rod, made at least partially of a thermoplastic material and having at least one continuous cavity, in at least one opening of a support plate. The opening surrounds at least one rod, with each rod - in order to be fastened - positioned in its designated opening in the support plate. Each rod cavity exhibits a hydraulic diameter which corresponds to at least 10% of the minimum outside cross-sectional dimension of the rod, and the rod walls may exhibit pores which take up a maximum of 20% of the wall volume.

Abstract: An automobile roof structure includes a detachable roof section, a front roof section and a fastening device. The front roof section includes a bracket extending from the front roof section. The detachable roof section includes an aperture and is selectively mounted on the bracket. The fastening device includes a guiding member mounted on the bracket, a first engaging member and a second engaging member. The first engaging member of the fastening device is secured to the detachable roof section and is located in the vicinity of the aperture of the detachable roof section. The second engaging member is selectively inserted into both a tapered hole formed in the guiding member and the aperture of the detachable roof section. The second engaging member selectively engages with the first engaging member to position the detachable roof section properly.

Abstract: A suspension insulator includes a compressive strain of more than 60.times.10.sup.-6 in the ceramic insulator body at least in the circumferential direction in the vicinity of the shed root of the ceramic head portion of the suspension insulator, whereby a suspension insulator causes no accidents such as separation of cap and pin of suspension insulator, line drop of power transmission lines and the like, even when shot by a rifle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the protection of a hydraulic machine. The difference in temperature across the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet being taken and used to actuate means effectively to signify when the machine is operating outside of its required performance. In a preferred embodiment the temperature difference .DELTA.T is evaluated from the equation ##EQU1## where the efficiency .eta.p, the head H in meters and the temperature t.sub.2 of the fluid are all known.

Abstract: A carriage (2) sliding vertically on a fixed column (1) bears a driving assembly comprising a motor (3), a transmission (15, 16, 17), a shaft (18), and a rubber-covered pulley (4). A frame (10) supported by castors (11) rotates about the column. In operating position, the frame holds a working drum (5) resting on two parallel rollers (13) opposite the driving pulley. A full or empty drum is situated next to the working drum. A traverse mechanism (6, 7, 27) is borne by the column and by an auxiliary upright (8).

Abstract: An air conditioner for a vehicle which has a fan of a centrifugal blower used in the air conditioner, the fan having upper and lower fan secitons split by a shield plate with respect to a rotational shaft direction, a normal air intake port formed at either one side of the upper and lower fan section, an increasing air intake port formed at the other of the upper and lower fan sections, and a damper formed at least in the increasing air intake port, the damper being opened only when air intake quantity is necessarily increased or air intake resistance is necessarily decreased. Thus, the air conditioner can increase the effective air intake volume to raise the efficiency of a blower and to simultaneously obtain sufficient air blowing quantity.
