Abstract: An overwrap packed body is obtained by heating and shrinking a wrapping material in a condition that five drink products collectively wrapped by the wrapping material. Three perforated lines passing through gap portions between the adjacent drink products are formed on the wrapping material at an interval of 2 mm in parallel. When the three perforated line portions are pushed with fingers in the gap portion between the adjacent drink products, the wrapping material torn from the pushed portion in a vertical direction. Thus, the packed drink products DG can be easily taken out one by one.

Abstract: Provided is an ink introducing tube which realizes a stabilized ink supply from an ink tank located at the rear portion of a felt pen into a tip at the front end thereof, and a writing instrument incorporating it. On the inner peripheral wall of an ink introducing tube through which an ink tank is communicated with a tip located at the front end, a plurality of protrusions are formed to provide therebetween a passage for downward flow which utilizes the capillary action of the protrusions, and the interior space of the ink introducing tube which is surrounded by the tips of the plural protrusions is formed as a large space so that the capillary action can take place. Thus, the flow of air to the ink tank moves upwardly through the interior space while changing into air foam during the ascent, whereas the ink flows downward while being retained between the protrusions. Therefore, replacement of the ink by the air can be performed smoothly whereby ink blobbing is prevented and flawless writing is realized.

Abstract: A container for receiving and transporting dust free articles which is opened and closed by inserting a positioning pin and a key in an opener mechanism into a positioning hole and a key hole provided in a cover, with a tapered surface formed on an upper inner surface of the positioning hole, and with a floating mechanism disposed in the key hole. According to the above container, the positioning pin and key are easily inserted, and the cover is smoothly closed.

Abstract: An admixed and kneaded material of a mixture of a hydraulic powder, a potentially hydraulic powder, water, and fine and coarse aggregates, if necessary is molded and hardened. Then the hardened body is heat cured to form silicic acid anions of at least a trimer. This molded and hardened body has a compression strength at least 1000 kgf/cm.sup.2 and a bending strength of at least 150 kgf/cm.sup.2 so that hardened cement body having a high mechanical strength can be obtained without using a special reinforcing member or fiber. The hardened concrete product of this invention has a high bending strength, compression strength and modulus of elasticity. A glaze can be applied and fired to obtain beautiful concrete products.

Abstract: The method is practiced such that the material is alternately repeatedly placed in low temperature and high temperature active gas atmospheres, the material is subjected to low temperature contraction and high temperature expansion due to the endothermic reaction of active gas, and a part of the active gas adhesively adsorbed to the material during low temperature contraction is detached from the material due to high temperature expansion.

Abstract: A diazacycloalkanealkylsulfonamide derivative having the following formula ?I!: ##STR1## and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds have antiallergic activity with low antihistaminic activity and low toxicity and are useful as an medicament for preventing and treating diseases such as bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria.

Abstract: A tire vulcanizing apparatus has a mold body divided into a first mold portion and a second mold portion by a line perpendicular to an axis of a tire. The apparatus includes a device for opening or closing the mold body to mount the tire on the mold body and remove the tire from the mold body. A heat pressure medium is supplied into the tire mounted on the mold body in a vulcanizing station to vulcanize the tire. The mold body is arranged to receive and vertically hold the tire therein. A plurality of vulcanizers are disposed side by side in the vulcanizing station to vulcanize the tire. Each vulcanizer detachably accommodates the mold body. The vulcanizer supplies the heat pressure medium into the tire held in the mold body. The device is movable to positions respectively opposite to the vulcanizers. The mold body is movable between the device and the vulcanizer opposite to the device.

Abstract: To produce active carbon particles by carbonizing a carbon based raw material in a steam atmosphere while feeding electricity to the raw material received in a rotary reactor, a plurality of electrical receiving rods are secured to the inner wall surface of a cylindrical wall of the rotary reactor in the equally-spaced relationship as seen in the circumferential direction. In operation, a certain intensity of electric current is fed to the electricity receiving rods via a plurality of electrodes and a plurality of electrode contacts to induce arc-discharging between the electricity receiving rods and the raw material received in the rotary reactor. To reliably prevent the temperature of the steam atmosphere from being abnormally elevated, carbon dioxide gas is introduced into a carbonizing chamber of the rotary reactor via a gas inflow pipe.

Abstract: A car cover has a bag for storing the cover. The bag can be stably mounted on the trunk, and in this state the cover can be put on the car smoothly. A pair of triangular sheets are connected to the bag. The bag is secured to the cover member through a gusset provided between the triangular sheets. A belt connected to the free ends of the triangular sheets is put around the hinges in the trunk room. A mounting sheet is stitched to the edge of the opening of the bag and is fastened to the interior surface of the trunk by hook-and-loop fasteners provided near its front edge. After supporting the bag on the rear wall of the trunk by fastening the triangular sheets and the mounting sheet, the trunk door is closed and the cover member is taken out of the bag and put on the car. The locking mechanism of the trunk door can pass through a gap between the triangular sheets or a hole formed in the mounting sheet, so that the trunk door can be closed and locked.
