  • Patent number: 11878832
    Abstract: A bottle-shaped can includes a cap having an excellent sealing ability but easy to be opened. A top section includes a leading end section as an upper end of a neck portion, a diametrically-largest section formed beneath the leading end section, a diametrically-shrunk section extending downwardly from the diametrically-largest section, and an outer circumferential wall section extending downwardly from the diametrically-shrunk section. The leading end section, the diametrically-largest section, and diametrically-shrunk section form a smooth curved surface. A curvature of the diametrically-largest section in a cross-section is zero or negative value, given that a curvature of the diametrically-shrunk section is positive value. A flexion section is formed between the diametrically-shrunk section and the outer circumferential wall section. The outer diameter of the outer circumferential wall section in which the curvature is zero or negative value is larger than an outer diameter of the flexion section.

  • Patent number: 5696623
    Abstract: In an ultraviolet exposure apparatus, substances contained in an atmosphere contacting a lens surface are reduced, the substances generating accumulations on the lens surface. Openings are formed in the wall of a lens barrel to allow the atmosphere to be replaced by a proper gas. The proper atmospheric gas may be a gas not containing oxygen such as a nitrogen gas, or clean air obtained by intentionally generating accumulations by applying ultraviolet light to source air. A ultraviolet light source is preferably cooled by a cooling system different from the cooling system of a lens optical system.
