Abstract: A method for loading a liquid into a container made of a resin comprises the steps of holding a portion of a bag, which is made of a resin film and which is provided with an opening, the portion surrounding the opening, and thereby suspending the bag in a case housing, which is to accommodate the bag therein. A predetermined amount of a liquid is poured through the opening into the bag, which is being suspended in the case housing, and thereafter the opening is closed. After the liquid has been poured into the bag, but before the opening is closed, the case housing is moved up, and the bag is thereby pushed up a predetermined distance, an appropriate amount of air being thus introduced into the bag having been loaded with the liquid. Worsening of the orientation or form of the bag and scratching or flawing of the bag are thus prevented from occurring due to vibrations given to the bag during its transportation, or the like.

Abstract: A liquid is charged into a container through a liquid charging opening, which is formed at an upper end of the container. The container comprises a bottom for self-support, which is formed at a lower end of the container and causes the container to be supported by itself, and a pleated expansible part, which is formed at a middle region between the upper end and the lower end of the container and which expands or contracts vertically and causes the volume of the container to change due to at least a predetermined value of vertical load when the vertical load is given to the container. The container is fed into a liquid charging system, while the container is being supported by itself and the pleated expansible part is being contracted. Thereafter, when or before the liquid is charged by the liquid charging system into the container, at least the predetermined value of vertical load is given to the container, and the pleated expansible part is thereby caused to expand by a predetermined amount.

Abstract: An apparatus for horizontally casting concrete comprises a horizontally foldable multilink support arm composed of an attachment frame, a proximal boom, intermediate booms, and a distal boom which are pivotally coupled by joint tubes, a drive mechanism composed of worm wheels mounted on the joint tubes and worm gears mounted on the booms and held in mesh with the worm wheels for enabling the support arm to move in articulatory motion, a concrete pressure-feed pipe extending from a pump along the booms and through the joint tubes with swivel joints, and an attachment jig mounted on the attachment frame for being mounted on a column.

Abstract: This invention relates to a magnetic recording substance comprising a support and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic metal powder of liquid phase reduction type in a binder, the ferromagnetic metal powder being obtained by mixing an aqueous slurry containing the ferromagnetic metal powder with an organic solvent capable of forming a minimum boiling azeotropic mixture with water and subjecting the mixture to distillation to remove the water.
