The work machine includes an arm angle sensor apparatus for detecting an oscillating angle of the arm so that the arm angle sensor apparatus is protected and an increase in cost is suppressed. A sensor body of the arm angle sensor apparatus is attached to a sensor attachment hole provided in the third boom side plate such that the sensor attachment hole includes a part of the sensor body. The link member for transmitting the oscillating angle of the arm to the sensor body is provided between the third boom side plate and the arm side plate such that one end side is connected to the sensor body and the other end side is connected to the arm side plate.

Abstract: A surface of a glass plate is coated with a first n-type semiconductor film which is a 50 nm-thick niobium oxide film as a primer layer. The primer layer is coated with a 250 nm-thick photocatalyst film comprising titanium oxide. Thus, an article having a photocatalytically active surface is obtained. The two coating films can be formed by sputtering. The first n-type semiconductor film as the primer layer is selected so as to have a larger energy band gap than the titanium oxide. Due to this constitution, more holes are generated near the film surface. This article can be free from the problem of conventional titanium oxide films having photocatalytic activity that it is difficult to generate many surface holes contributing to photocatalytic activity, because electrons and holes generated by charge separation recombine within the film, making it impossible to effectively heighten catalytic activity.

Abstract: When a working implement comes close to a cab during operation, for efficiency, the operation should continue insofar as possible yet it is essential the working implement be prevented from striking the cab. To that end, a pilot pump oil line capable of supplying pilot pressurized oil to a solenoid proportional pressure reducing valve in a state where a control member is not manipulated, is provided in a stick contraction-side pilot oil line. When the working implement enters an interference prevention area, defined around the cab, the stick is automatically moved out so that the operation can continue yet the working element avoids the interference prevention area.

Abstract: Fluorine contained within a photocatalyst layer containing titanium oxide and other metallic oxide semiconductors increases the metallic oxide's photocatalytic activity. The described photocatalyst may be in the form of either film, flake, particulate, or fiber. In addition, it can be used for coating the surface of a base material of various forms, such as sheet, film, flake, particulate, bar, or fiber. When using a base material that has an alkaline-containing glass composition, establishing a fluorine-containing layer, such as a layer of fluorine-containing silicon dioxide and other metallic oxide, between the photocatalyst film and the base material can prevent the deterioration of photocatalytic activity of the photocatalyst layer. The fluorine-containing layer functions as an alkaline barrier that controls the diffusion and migration of alkali metallic ions in the glass fibers, such as Na ions, into the photocatalyst layer.
