  • Publication number: 20020101582
    Abstract: An exposure meter for incident- and reflected-light photometry includes an incident-light receiving section, a finder for reflected-light photometry, an arithmetical element for calculating various exposure values on the basis of photometric results obtained by incident- and reflected-light receiving elements, a finder optical system for displaying information on the exposure values obtained by the arithmetical element in the finder, and a display window provided on an exposure meter body. The incident-light receiving section is constructed so that it is can be mounted to or dismounted from the exposure meter body and allows incident-light photometry and lighting setting photometry. The exposure meter further includes a transmitting unit, mountable in or dismountable from the exposure meter body, in which flashlight is emitted and the amount of flashlight can be adjusted in accordance with the information on the exposure values displayed on the display window.

  • Patent number: 4566736
    Abstract: Dust-proof membranes are provided across both ends of opposite respective divided surfaces defined by halves of wedge guide members. Each membrane has projections formed as an integral unit along the longitudinal side edges thereof. The projections are thrust into longitudinally extending C-shape cross-section grooves formed along the divided surfaces of the wedge guide members. The groove side surfaces are perpendicular to the bottom surface thereof.

  • Patent number: 4159890
    Abstract: A paving material extrusion molding apparatus for continuously laying or molding a paving material wherein the paving material supplied into hoppers is conveyed into a molding element by a plurality of screw conveyors, the paving material is compacted or consolidated by screw thrusts equal to the frictional force produced by the dead weight of the extrusion molding apparatus, a reaction force created by the compaction or consolidation is utilized to float off the entire extrusion molding apparatus, and a reaction force created by the conveyance of the paving material being continuously fed serves to move the extrusion molding apparatus along the predetermined path.

  • Patent number: 4145155
    Abstract: The paving material supplied into a hopper is conveyed by screw conveyors into a mold provided in the lower part of the apparatus thereby molding and laying the material. The paving material is densely compacted or consolidated in the mold, and when the paving material is conveyed under pressure further, the mold can be pushed up, and the reaction force of the conveying pressure acts to move the entire apparatus horizontally. Thus, structure having the same sectional shape as that of the mold can be formed and laid continuously on the ground.
