Abstract: A rock drilling apparatus includes a frame having a front end, a guide rod supported on the front end of the frame, a rotary rod extending parallel to the guide rod and supported on the frame for rotation about its own axis and longitudinal movement beyond the front end of the frame, and a drill bit mounted on a front tip end of the rotary rod. The guide rod comprises a shank fixed to the front end of the frame and a tubular member extending substantially fully over the shank and rotatably disposed around the shank.

Abstract: A cooling system typically incorporated in an outdoor rest facility has a substantially vertical tower extending vertically through the roof of the outdoor rest facility and having an air passageway defined vertically therein. The air passageway has an air inlet port defined in an upper end thereof for introducing air into the air passageway. A water ejector is disposed in the upper end of the air passageway for ejecting a shower of water downwardly through the air passageway from the upper end of the air passageway. A water retriever is disposed downwardly of and spaced from the tower, for retrieving the shower of water falling through the air passageway. An air outlet port is defined between an open lower end of the tower and the water retriever, for discharging air cooled by the shower of water out of the air passageway.

Abstract: An apparatus for purifying contaminated air has an air inlet exposed to a road surface, an air outlet spaced from the road surface, a soil bed for being populated with microorganisms, the soil bed being disposed between the air inlet and the air outlet and allowing air to pass therethrough, a pipe interconnecting the soil bed and the air outlet, and embedded underground, and a fan for introducing air from the air inlet, passing the air through the soil bed, delivering the air from the soil bed through the pipe to the air outlet, and discharging the air from the air outlet.

Abstract: Contaminated air, e.g., air contaminated by exhaust gases from automobiles and factories, is purified by passing the contaminated air through a soil layer populated with microorganisms. The contaminated air is humidified before the contaminated air is passed through the soil layer or while the contaminated air is being passed through the soil layer. The soil layer may be warmed, or ozone may be supplied to the contaminated air to oxidize nitrogen monoxide in the contaminated air into nitrogen dioxide before the contaminated air is passed through the soil layer.

Abstract: A general-purpose electromagnetic wave shielding interior material having an excellent electromagnetic wave shielding property as well as a good interior finishing property is disclosed. A protective film made of resin is stuck onto one side surface of an electromagnetic wave shielding metal foil, and an incombustible paper sheet is stuck onto the other side surface of the same electromagnetic wave shielding foil to form a laminated sheet having the desired properties. Preferably, the electromagnetic wave shielding metal foil is exposed from the peripheral edge portion of the laminated sheet, and an overlapping margin is reserved at the peripheral edge portion of the laminated sheet.

Abstract: An improved method for underwater reclamation is disclosed. Dredged mud sent under pressure by an earth and sand conveying device is treated with solidifying material, and before it is solidified, it is directly fed to an underwater reclaiming apparatus. The treated mud is fed through a discharge port of the underwater reclaiming apparatus, while the discharge port is always maintained embedded at a constant depth in a previously deposited underwater reclamation mud layer at the bottom of the water. An apparatus for underwater reclamation that is suitable for practicing the improved method is also disclosed.

Abstract: There is disclosed a softy mud solidifying agent which comprises cement, and at least two members selected from the group consisting of pozzolanic substances, inorganic compounds and organic compounds. The solidifying agent is capable of solidifying dredged earth, sand, softy mud, etc. in such a manner that their mixture can be re-cast into water to form submerged banks, artificial fish-gathering places, etc., without causing water pollution.

Abstract: A novel method for joining edge portions of electromagnetic wave shielding members is proposed. A joiner is prepared by solder-plating a surface of a narrow strip of electromagnetic wave shielding material of a metal foil or a metal sheet. The respective edge portions of adjacent electromagnetic wave shielding members made of metal sheets or metal foils are butted against each other. The solder-plated surface of the prepared joiner is superposed on the respective abutting edge portions of the electromagnetic wave shielding members. Thereafter, while the joiner is being pressed against the shielding members by a heater, the joiner is solder-welded to both of the electromagnetic wave shielding members via the solder-plated layer.

Abstract: A miniature layout of a 3-course miniature golf links can afford golf players as satisfactory a feeling of golf play as experienced at a formal 9-hole golf links without necessitating a large area for construction. In a limited narrow area, three courses are arrayed in a triangular configuration. In each one of two courses among the three courses are disposed one tee position for a long course, one tee position for a middle course, one tee for a short course and a putting green, and in the other one course are disposed three tee positions for middle courses and a putting green, whereby it is made possible to play golf of 9 holes, par 36, by playing golf while going around the above-mentioned three courses either in the clockwise direction or in the anticlockwise direction. Preferably, an auto-caddie-cart system is disposed in a loop form along the inner periphery of the courses. Also, preferably a lighting installation for night play is disposed along the inner periphery of the courses.
