Abstract: An easy-assembly bed includes a top plate, and a leg portion having a plurality of leg members that are linked using notched joints. The top plate is constituted of a bonded material, which includes a plate-shaped foam plate formed with a foam body, and a front board member and a rear board member having an identical shape to the foam plate and that are bonded to the rear surface and the front surface of the foam plate, respectively, and a top plate molded resin portion overing the cut ends of the bonded material with a molded resin; and the leg members are each constituted of a grooved bonded material, which includes a plate-shaped grooved foam plate having locking grooves and formed with a foam body, and a grooved front board member and a grooved rear board member on the front surface and the rear surface of the grooved foam plate.

Abstract: A radiation shielding sheet includes a fiber and a granular radiation shielding material, in which the fiber and the radiation shielding material are integrally formed into the shape of a sheet.

Abstract: A cylindrical metal tube (3) accommodating therein a thermistor device (2), the electric characteristics of which change with temperature, is pushed into, or clamped and fixed to, a sheath portion (42) positioned on a flange (4) to the rear of a projection portion (41) of the flange (4), and is laser welded in a circumferential direction. A weld portion (L1) formed to bridge the metal tube (3) and the sheath portion (42) of the flange (4) firmly fixes the metal tube (3) to the flange (4). In the temperature sensor (1) having this construction, the weld portion (L1) between the metal tube (3) and the flange (4) is not exposed to a high temperature environment. Therefore, oxidation hardly occurs at the weld portion and reliability of air tightness to an exhaust gas can be improved.
