Abstract: A liquefied gas dispensing nozzle having a cylinder with its axis in a vertical direction, and a plug to be inserted into the cylinder from above as its main elements. A plurality of slit portions for letting through the liquefied gas are formed in parallel in an axial direction of the cylinder from the upper end to the lower end in an inner circumferential face of the cylinder contacting to an outer circumferential face of the plug. A width of at least one or more pair of mutually opposed slit portions is generally constant from its upper end to lower end and its slit bottom is inclined so that the depth of the slit becomes gradually shallower from upper end to lower end. Each slit portion of the cylinder is closed with the plug when the plug, which is movable vertically relative to the cylinder, reaches the lowest end position. A rounded portion formed by rounding a corner portion of the lower end of the slit portion includes an inclined slit bottom.

Abstract: A drink can induction heating apparatus includes a ferrite core having a plurality of projected portions and recesses formed between the adjacent projected portions. When a drink can is set in a position to be heated, each of the projected portions is oriented toward a longitudinal axis of the drink can and a particular portion of a circumferential wall of the drink can. The apparatus further includes a saddle-shaped heating coil which is partly received in the recesses of the ferrite core and covers a region around the foregoing particular portions of the drink can in a non-contact manner, and an inverter for feeding the AC power to the heating coil. The inverter is arranged to produce the AC power at a resonance frequency which corresponds to one of 5 kHz to 15 kHz where equivalent resistance values of an aluminum can and a steel can approximate to each other.

Abstract: A deodorant equipment for an air conditioner includes a heater. A fin covers at least a part of an effective heating area of a surface of the heater. The fin has a radiator portion extending along a longitudinal direction of the heater. A vitreous coating film covers at least a part of an outer surface of the fin. A catalyst layer includes an absorption member and a catalyst. The absorption member absorbs odor components of air. The absorption member releases the odor components when being heated. The catalyst oxidizes and decomposes odor components when being heated.
