Abstract: A sprayer can convert the entire manual effort used to operate a manual pump into energy for spraying liquid. The sprayer has a liquid tank filled with a liquid, and an air tank having a pressurized air supply valve through which pressurized air can be introduced into the air tank. The air tank communicates with a float valve having a valve hole communicating with a spray nozzle and a hollow rod as the outlet of a manual pump. Pressurized air is introduced into the air tank through the pressurized air supply valve to increase the air pressure in the tank to a predetermined bias pressure. Then, the manual pump is operated to suck liquid in the liquid tank and supply the thus sucked liquid through the float valve into the air tank.

Abstract: Highly oxidized lead powder containing red lead not more than 90% is efficiently produced by maturing the lead powder material at a low temperature section of a furnace keeping the temperature less than 100.degree. C. by spraying water to the material and then, by heating the same from 400.degree. to 500.degree. C. at a high temperature section of the furnace. The highly oxidized lead powder produced in this method is preferable as active material of a lead storage battery, that is, a paste preparation and formation treatment become easy and a long life electrode is obtained.

Abstract: A mold for continuous casting comprises a copper or copper alloy mold substrate and a sprayed coating film formed on non-blasted inner surfaces of the substrate with or without a metal plated skin layer provided between the substrate and the film. For the formation of the sprayed coating film, particles of at least one tungsten carbide-based wear-resistant material having a particle size of from 5 .mu.m to 53 .mu.m and having a hardness capable of anchoring in the inner surfaces of the substrate are subjected to high pressure/high velocity oxygen fuel coating under conditions where the particles remain at least partially non-fused on application of heat from a spraying flame. By this, a layer directly anchored in the inner surfaces of the substrate or in the skin layer, if present, is formed at least as one layer of the sprayed coating film formed in a total film thickness of from 0.01 to 6 mm.

Abstract: A plate stacking and transferring apparatus includes plate stacking mechanism for continuously stacking plates. The mechanism comprises: a pair of rollers provided at the leading end of a conveyor for transporting pasted plates, for taking a plate in a gap therebetween while rotating and thus ejecting the plate, and adjusting the plate ejection angle; a collision wall for limiting the flight distance of plates; a first stacker table for receiving plates while descending; a device for registering plates stacked on the first table by repeatedly pushing the plates from the sides thereof; and a second stacker table provided below the first table. When the first table has passed the stack of plates over to the second table, another device of the stacking mechanism moves the first table to a standby position above the plate flight region, keeps it at the position, and moves it down to a position below the plate flight region during a shot so that the first table takes over the plate stacking.
