  • Patent number: 7621420
    Abstract: In a container with a lid including a container main body, an upper lid attached to the container main body so as to open and close a take-out port of the container main body, a plate spring for urging the upper lid in an opening direction, and a push button that can be operated between a close position, at which it is meshed with the upper lid and keeps the upper lid in a closed state against the plate spring, and an open position, at which the push button is released from the upper lid meshed therewith, a locking member is attached to the push button, the locking member being movable between a locking position, at which the locking member is meshed with the lid that is in the closed state as well as is abutted against the locking surface of the container main body as to the operating direction of the push button to thereby make it impossible for the push button to be operated to the open position, and a release position, at which the locking member is separated from the upper lid and from the locking surfac

  • Publication number: 20090219041
    Abstract: A water content detection sensor includes a circuit member in which low resistance conductors 1,2 disposed in parallel to each other and a high resistance conductor 3 connecting end portions of the respective low resistance conductors, a carrier body 4 having a water-proof property and an insulating property, and a coating body 5 having a water-proof property and an insulating property, the circuit portion being disposed between the carrier body and the coating body. A plurality of exposure holes 6 are formed to the carrier body or the coating body so as to expose the low resistance conductors at plural portions, and when water content adheres between the exposure holes and the low resistance conductors are then short-circuited in a current conduction state, a current value is made larger than that before the adhesion of the water content. When a small current passes, it is judged that the circuit is normal, and on the other hand, a large current passes, it is judged that water is generated.

  • Publication number: 20080216261
    Abstract: A cleaning tool that includes an elongate cleaning element holder and a cleaning element to be attached to the cleaning element holder is provided. The cleaning element holder has a grip to be held by a user and two holding elements extending parallel in a longitudinal direction from the grip. The holding elements are adapted to be inserted into an insert region of the cleaning element to thereby hold the cleaning element. The two holding elements of the cleaning element holder can be rotated in parallel toward each other around a longitudinal axis of the cleaning element holder on a rotation axis disposed between the holding elements. As a result, through the rotation of the two holding elements inserted into the insert region, the sectional shape of the cleaning element can be changed in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the cleaning element holder.

  • Patent number: 5955352
    Abstract: An instrument for chemical and microbiological tests comprises a sample container for temporarily storing a liquid sample; a plurality of sample-holding portions formed on the bottom face of the sample container; and a liquid-absorbent body capable of coming in contact with the liquid sample so that the body can absorb the excess sample, when the liquid sample is introduced into the container, while retaining the sample to be held on the sample-holding portions. This instrument can be used in a chemical or microbiological test wherein a sample is used in a relatively small amount and, in particular, those requiring a large number of reactions and cultivation. Moreover, the instrument does not require the dispensation of a sample to each reaction system and does not cause any scatter of the sample in the surroundings.
