  • Patent number: 8470406
    Abstract: The present invention provides a spray method and spray apparatus for bentonite-based material that allow forming a bentonite layer of high dry density. A spray apparatus 1 comprises a supersonic nozzle 2, to which a compressor 5 and a bentonite container 6 are connected. The supersonic nozzle 2 is fed compressed air from the compressor 5 and a bentonite-based material from the bentonite container 6. The compressed air, mixed with the bentonite-based material, is accelerated to supersonic speed when passing through a constriction portion 14 of the supersonic nozzle 2, and is sprayed at supersonic speed out of a jet orifice 11.

  • Patent number: 7021655
    Abstract: A passenger protecting apparatus that prevents a submarine phenomenon of the passenger by the use of an air belt that is configured to inflate to form a sleeve wall. The apparatus includes a seat cushion that includes a seat pad, and an air belt disposed under the seat pad. The apparatus includes a buckle and a lap anchor. The rear end on the right and the left of the air belt are connected to the buckle and the lap anchor via a wire respectively. Upon collision, the air belt is inflated and the front portion of the seat pad is pushed up so that a submarine phenomenon is prevented and the buckle and the lap anchor are pulled down.
