Abstract: The present disclosure provides a carbon material including a carbon-containing layer having opening parts; and a solid body provided so as to cover the opening parts of the carbon-containing layer, in which the solid body has hole parts communicating with the opening parts.

Abstract: A mixer faucet having a left-right clicking mechanism and configured to increase a degree of freedom of the faucet is provided. The mixer faucet includes a lever handle and a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes: a tilting lever that is configured to move in conjunction with a movement of the lever handle, turn forward and rearward, and also turn leftward and rightward; a lower case; an upper case; a lower sealing member; an inner sealing member; and a click rotary member. The click rotary member is exposed to the outside of the valve assembly. The click rotary member is rotated leftward and rightward by a rotation force applied from the tilting lever. The click rotary member includes a first click engaging portion. The upper case includes a second click engaging portion. An engagement between the first click engaging portion and the second click engaging portion generates a left-right click.

Abstract: Provided is a mixer faucet configured such that a lubricant can be effectively supplied. The mixer faucet includes a fixed valve body and a movable valve body. The fixed valve body includes a hot water supply hole, a cold water supply hole, a drain hole, a first sliding surface, and a lubricant retention portion. At least a part of the lubricant retention portion is provided in a circumferentially extended region of the hot water supply hole and a circumferentially extended region of the cold water supply hole. In the circumferentially extended region, only the first sliding surface is present between the hot water supply hole and the lubricant retention portion. In the circumferentially extended region, only the first sliding surface is present between the cold water supply hole and the lubricant retention portion.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a replaceable-blade-type saw in which a handle fitting part can be insertably engaged in a guide member even if the width dimension of the handle fitting part is greater than the width dimension of the guide member. In a handle fitting part 3 of a saw blade 1 is formed a slit part 8, which is configured from a first slit part 6 formed inward from the side edge part of the handle fitting part 3, and a second slit part 7 formed as a continuation of the first slit part 6 as well as being formed toward the distal end side of the handle fitting part 3 from an inner end part 6A of the first slit part 6, and a slit outer-side part 9 positioned on the outer side of the slit part 8 of the handle fitting part 3 is elastically moved or elastically deformed inward by the slit part 8 when bearing external force exerted inward from the side-edge-part side.

Abstract: Provided is a mixer faucet that can suppress the occurrence of water leakage. A mixer faucet includes: a fixed valve body including a hot water supply hole, a cold water supply hole, and a drain hole; a movable valve body that includes a flow path forming recess and is configured to slide on the fixed valve body; and a handle configured to control the movable valve body. The fixed valve body includes a collection groove that is not connected to either the hot water supply hole or the cold water supply hole and is connected only to the drain hole. The collection groove can capture water leaking from the hot water supply hole, the cold water supply hole, or the drain hole. The captured water can flow into the drain hole through the collection groove.

Abstract: A nozzle gun includes a nozzle main body, an operating member attached to the nozzle main body to be movable toward and away from the nozzle main body, and a stopper attached to the nozzle main body to be pivotable between a locked position and a non-lock position and having a locking portion and receptacles, wherein when the operating member is moved toward the nozzle main body and the stopper is placed in the locked position, the locking portion engages with the operating member to prevent the operating member from moving away from the nozzle main body, when the stopper is in the non-lock position, the locking portion does not engage with the operating member, and when the operating member is moved toward the nozzle main body with the stopper in the non-lock position, the operating member presses the receptacles to cause the stopper to pivot into the locked position.

Abstract: A mixer tap is provided that includes: a lever; a temperature adjusting mechanism that enables adjusting a discharge water temperature by rotating the lever from side to side; a discharge amount adjustment mechanism that enables adjusting the discharge amount by rotating the lever back and forth; a side-to-side click mechanism that effects a side-to-side click feeling in association with rotation of the lever from side to side; and a back-and-forth click mechanism that effects a back-and-forth click feeling in association with rotation of the lever back and forth. In the mixer tap, a click feeling is varied depending on a lever back-and-forth position and/or a lever side-to-side position. The difference in the click feeling can provide a user with various items of information. This information allows the improvement of the convenience of the mixer tap.

Abstract: A watering nozzle including an outer casing having a water discharge screen and an inner casing having a supply passage is provided. The water discharge screen includes an inner region and an outer circumferential region. The outer casing includes a first passage communicating with the inner region and a second passage communicating with the outer circumferential region. Relative rotation between the outer casing and the inner casing enables the outer casing to make a relative displacement in the longitudinal direction with respect to the inner casing. The relative displacement enables selection between the first passage and the second passage. A shower hole is provided in the inner region. The discharge flow rate of water from the inner region can change based on the relative displacement.
