Abstract: A charging apparatus for charging electric power supplied from a power source to a charging target includes a station section configured to supply the electric power to the charging target. The station section includes a base extending in a vertical direction and a protrusion fixed to a part of the base and protruding frontward than the base. Space for disposing at least one article is formed on at least one of the upper side and the lower side of the protrusion.

Abstract: A charging apparatus for charging electric power supplied from a power source to a charging target includes an operating tool configured to operate charging to the charging target. The operating tool includes: a region indicating a step of connecting a connector, which is to be connected to the charging target, to the charging target; a region indicating a step of operating a start switch to start charging to the charging target; a region indicating a charged state of the charging target; and a region indicating a step of removing the connector from the charging target. These regions are arranged along a first direction.

Abstract: A sealing apparatus includes an adhesive tape applying mechanism disposed at least below a transport path along which a workpiece is horizontally transported. The adhesive tape applying mechanism includes an adhesive tape roll RT and an applicator unit 10. An adhesive tape drawn from the adhesive tape roll RT is guided to and wound around an applicator roller 25 of the applicator unit, to be applied continuously to surfaces of the workpiece transported along the transport path. The adhesive tape applying mechanism disposed below the transport path is supported to be vertically pivotable about a pivotal axis x between a tape applying position and an adhesive tape roll changing position exposed above the transport path.

Abstract: A controller provides effective control of a plurality of control objects performing various cooperative and competitive jobs. The controller includes a first system execution section for storing a set of commands which describe the operation of a plurality of control objects as a first cooperative job and for executing the commands. A second system execution section is also provided for storing additional commands describing the operation of at least one control object other that the plurality of control objects governed by the first execution system and for executing the additional commands. A third system execution section which is included in the controller permits storage of activation commands for activating the first and second system execution sections and allows asynchronous and simultaneous execution of the commands stored in each. The first and second system execution sections have a master/slave relation with one another, one operating as a slave and a remaining one, as a master.
