Abstract: Provided is a reinforcing material having high interfacial adhesion with a matrix resin. The reinforcing material containing a covering layer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a reinforcing material that imparts strength to a matrix resin by being combined with the matrix resin, and a covering layer formed on a surface of the reinforcing material, in which the covering layer is formed of a vaporized material generated by heating the resin.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a hopper, having a vent for articles, for storing articles; an arm connected to the vent of the hopper, for moving the position of the vent along with rotation around a rotating shaft, one end portion of the arm as an elongated member being connected to the rotating shaft extending in a horizontal direction; and a bag attachment portion including a bag support portion for supporting a bag into which articles are loaded, an attachment structure body for attaching an opening portion of the bag and a movable member for moving freely to a condition where the bag support portion is positioned at an appropriate inclined angle with respect to a horizontal direction. The vent of the hopper is adjustable to be positioned above the position of the opening portion of the bag supported when the arm and the bag attachment portion are moved.

Abstract: A conveying apparatus and a conveyed object inspection apparatus which can perform accurate, damage free image inspection. One conveying roller has a conveying surface formed in a spiral manner on an outer periphery surface thereof. The conveying surface is slanted with respect to the central axis narrowing toward other end side so as to convey a conveyed object while holding it between the conveying surface and other conveying roller. The other conveying roller has a tilt surface provided in a spiral manner on an outer periphery surface thereof. The tilt surface is slanted with respect to the central axis narrowing toward one end side. A feeding means can feed the conveyed object inbetween the conveying rollers. An inspection section has an image acquisition means capable of acquiring an image of an entire outer surface of the conveyed object, and an abnormality detecting means capable of detecting abnormality of the conveyed object based on the image A removing means can then remove an abnormal object.
