Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed having a terminal housing and a female type terminal positioned in the terminal housing. The terminal housing has a first terminal housing, and a second terminal housing positioned independent from the first terminal housing. The female type terminal has a first female terminal, second female terminal, and a coupling member. The first female terminal is positioned in the first terminal housing and is electrically connected to a first male terminal. The second female terminal is positioned in the second terminal housing and is electrically connected to a second male terminal. The coupling member connects the first female terminal to the second female terminal.

Abstract: A guide device that guides a component terminal includes: a guide portion configured to guide the component terminal to a specified position; and a separating mechanism portion configured to move the guide portion away from the component terminal after the guidance of the component terminal, as compared with before the guidance of the above component terminal.

Abstract: The water shower apparatus according to the present invention is constructed in a way to produce cold air intercepting screen having warming effects around the bather. In this water shower apparatus, the shower sprayed from the wide-angle spray nozzle of the shower system forms a shower curtain. That water shower of thin cold air intercepting screen is sprayed toward about the neck and the shoulders to the flanks of the bather. And, the shower curtain formed this way wraps about the horizontal face under the neck of the bather, the vertical face about in the vertical direction on the left and the right sides of the bather's body, and the front face centering on the lower half portion of the bather's body. This enables to intercept cold air from outside and enclose the hot air inside. Production of “cold feeling” at the time of entry of the bather into the chilled bathroom can be prevented. The entire body of the bather can be warmed with bathing.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing long silicon nitride whiskers. The production method encompasses reacting diatomaceous earth on a carbon boat in a gas flow composed of a reducing agent and a nitriding agent at a temperature of 1,200.degree.-1,700.degree. C.

Abstract: A water purifying apparatus has feeding device for feeding water under pressure; a bacteria culturing tank; and air supply device for feeding air to the bacteria culturing tank by inducing air by utilizing fluid energy of circulating water; and an air flow detector provided on an air suction duct of the air supply means. A filter provided upstream of the feeding means for feeding water under pressure has the capability of preventing moss from growing in a water tank and sterilizing water. An ultraviolet lamp for sterilizing the water in a water tank is provided in a circulating duct. A carrier for fixing bacteria which grows aerobic and anaerobic bacteria is composed of a basic mineral material.
