Abstract: A filament winding apparatus includes a rail extending in a first direction, a core material support device that supports a core material, and a winding device that winds a fiber bundle onto an outer peripheral surface of the core material, the winding device including: a guide unit having an opening through which the core material passes, and guiding the fiber bundle; and a main frame on which the guide unit is mounted; wherein the main frame is movable relative to the core material in the first direction, the main frame is movable in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the main frame is rotatable around a first rotational axis extending in a third direction orthogonal to each of the first direction and the second direction.

Abstract: A filament winding device includes a fiber bundle retainer that temporarily retains fiber bundles. The fiber bundle retainer includes: a reel member including an outer peripheral portion having pins movable in the axial direction relative to the fiber bundles supplied through fiber bundle guides and rotatable about the axis of the liner, the reel member capable of winding the fiber bundles onto the outer peripheral portion; a first cutting unit configured to cut a part of each of the fiber bundles in the circumferential direction, the part being between a part of the fiber bundle wound on the outer peripheral portion and a part of the fiber bundle wound on the liner; and a second cutting unit different from the first cutting unit and configured to cut a part of each of the fiber bundles in the axial direction, the part being wound on the outer peripheral portion.

Abstract: A drum type washing-drying machine includes an air supply opening and an air discharge opening both located in a water tub, a circulation path having both ends connected to the air supply opening and the air discharge opening respectively, and branch paths located between a part of the circulation path where the condenser is located and the air supply opening and/or extending in another part of the circulation path between the evaporator and the air discharge opening. Either air supply or discharge opening is located in an upper part of the water tub front. The circulation path includes a heat exchange section where a condenser and an evaporator are disposed so as to be located below the water tub. The branch paths extend from either air supply or air discharge opening, through a periphery of the opening of the water tub front to the heat exchange section.

Abstract: A drum-type washing-drying machine having a drum (4) rotatably provided in a water tub (3); an air supply opening (20) and an air discharge opening (21) arranged at the water tub (3); a circulation path (10) whose both ends are individually connected to the air supply opening (21) and the air discharge opening (21); a heat pump mechanism (12) having a condenser (14) and an evaporator (15) that are arranged in the circulation path (10); and a blower fan (11) placed in the circulation path (10) and circulating air between the circulation path (10) and the water tub (3). The drum-type washing-drying machine has at least either branch paths (22a, 22b) provided between that portion of the circulation path (10) at which the condenser (14) is located and the air supply opening (20) or branch paths (23a, 23b) provided between that portion of the circulation path (10) at which the evaporator (15) is located and the air discharge opening (21).

Abstract: A full automatic washing machine includes an outer tub having an upper opening, a rotatable tub mounted in the outer tub for rotation, and an agitator mounted in the rotatable tub for rotation. The rotatable tub has a number of dehydrating holes formed only in the upper end of its circumferential wall. An inner lid is pivotally mounted on an outer tub cover so as to open and close the upper opening of the outer tub. The inner lid has a concave showering portion having a number of showering through holes. In a wash step, the agitator is driven with the inner lid closed. In a rinse-with-dehydration step, supply of water via the showering holes of the inner lid into the rotatable tub and rotation of the rotatable tub are alternately executed under sequential control of these steps.

Abstract: In a control device for an automatic washing machine, a first change in the turbidity of a wash liquid is detected a predetermined time period after start of a wash step. The predetermined time period corresponds to a time period required for the detergent to sufficiently dissolve into the water. A time period of the wash step is determined on the basis of the detected change of turbidity. The wash step is completed upon lapse of the determined time period when a second change in the turbidity of the wash liquid in a short period upon lapse of the wash step time period is at a predetermined value or below. When the turbidity change is above the predetermined value, the wash step time period is extended by a period of time in accordance with the first change in the turbidity.
