Abstract: A low cost and mass-producible fire protection zone penetrating member is provided which can be set on piping or the like with a one-touch operation as well as a method of injection-molding the fire protection zone penetrating member. One expanding slot is provided on a cylindrical body made from thermally expanding graphite, thermally expanding rubber, or thermally expanding resin as a main ingredient thereof. The slot extends in a longitudinal direction. A piping inlet section is formed at an entrance of the expanding slot so that piping can be set in or taken out from inside the member by means of a one-touch operation. The fire protection zone penetrating member has the configuration as described above and is manufactured with an injection molding machine. The cylindrical body as a main body of the fire protection zone penetrating member may have an oval cross section, so that the fire protection zone penetrating member can be applied to piping having a diameter in a wide range.

While driven pins 5 disposed on the other connectors B.sub.1, B.sub.2, B.sub.3 and B.sub.4 are fitted into the connector driving elongated holes 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d, the other connectors B.sub.1, B.sub.2, B.sub.3 and B.sub.4 are individually turnably received in the connector assembly frame C 1. Subsequently, while one end of the connector assembly frame C1 is turnably engaged with a fulcrum portion 2 formed at one end of a base plate having the one connectors A.sub.1, A.sub.2, A.sub.3 and A.sub.

Abstract: A frame-coupling-type connector includes a first connector, a second connector to be engaged with the first connector, a frame pivotably supported at a central portion thereof by the first connector and having an effect of a lever, and a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism includes a frame-side engaging portion provided at one end of the frame and a connector-side engaging portion provided at one side of the second connector. The frame-side engaging portion and the connector-side engaging portion are pivotably and slidably engaged with each other. The first connector is engaged with the second connector in a straight line by the effect of the lever of the frame and by the coupling mechanism.

Abstract: An engineering method of providing a lining onto the internal face of conduits for gas, city water, etc. that are buried underground. This lining work shall entirely be done from the portions exposed above ground. The distance of the supply pipe to the service tee is measured. The lining tube is set to a length that is slightly longer than this distance. The lining tube is turned inside out inside the supply pipe. As a result, a slightly longer length of non-reverse portion is left inside the supply pipe by the service tee. This non-reverse portion is helpful when cutting the rewinding tape that is tied to the lining tube after the insertion of a cutter. Next the heating tube shall be reversed similarly, and a hot water hose is inserted for circulating hot water in the heating tube. The aforesaid lining tube coated with the thermosetting adhesive is bonded onto the internal face of supply pipe. Next the heating tube is pulled out and the rewinding tape of the lining tube is cut and removed.

Abstract: A flat wire harness attaching unit for installing a flat wire harness onto a vehicle body. The flat wire harness is composed of a plurality of wires covered with synthetic resin insulation which wires are bundled and united into a flat integral structure by melting the synthetic resin insulation. The wire harness attaching unit has a clip section and an attaching section. The clip section is provided for association with a vehicle body side whereas the attaching section is made of a material capable of being made integral with the synthetic resin insulation through fusion to be secured to one of the surfaces of the flat wire harness. The clip section may be integral with or separate from the attaching section.

Abstract: A tool for applying liquids has a nozzle portion which is provided with a spatulate section having a discharge orifice in the side thereof from which the liquid emerges. The spatulate section is mounted on a tool body which is freely rotatable, so that the liquid may be applied to the surface of a tubular object in a convenient manner.

Abstract: A method of locating a leak in a block of pipes comprises the filling of the pipe with inert gas and the sealing of the pipe. Thereafter, suction is applied to the pipe for drawing air or atmospheric gas into the pipe through the leak. Care is taken to insure that the block of pipes is sealed, except for the suction port and the leak position. Once a layer of air or atmospheric gas is established in the pipe near the leak position, inert gas is drawn from the pipe by the pump, in a direction toward an oxygen or atmospheric gas sensor. By doing this, the layer of air or atmospheric gas is moved along in the pipe from the leak position toward the oxygen sensor. A measurement is taken of the volume of gas being drawn while the layer of air or atmospheric gas is being moved along the pipe. The oxygen or atmospheric sensor indicates when the layer of air or atmospheric gas has arrived.

Abstract: A cryopump and a method of operating the same, with the cryopump being provided with a cryopanel adapted to be cooled with cold heat generated by a cold heat generating device, and remove the ambient gas, and a device for regulating the temperature of said cryopanel in accordance with the ambient conditions. The cryopump is capable of varying its pumping speed by regulating in accordance with the ambient conditions the temperature of the cryopanel which is adapted to be cooled with cold heat and remove the ambient gas.

Abstract: In a cryostat composed of a first liquefied gas reservoir containing therein a first liquefied gas, a second liquefied gas reservoir containing therein a second liquefied gas, which has a boiling point higher than that of the first liquefied gas, the second liquefied gas reservoir being provided around the first liquefied reservoir in order to reduce the heat leak into the first liquefied gas reservoir, and an outer wall surrounding the second liquefied gas reservoir through a vacuum space, a refrigerating machine is arranged in the space within the outer wall and cools the second liquefied gas in the second and first liquefied gas reservoirs and the first liquefied gas whereby the cryostat may be used continuously for a long period of time without periodically supplying the second and third gases.

Abstract: A girder for supporting a movable body has a truss structure of a cross-sectional shape forming an isosceles triangle with a horizontal base. The truss structure is formed of three main tubes of a circular cross section that are located in positions corresponding to respective corners of the triangle and extend continuously over the length of the girder. A plurality of branch tubes of circular cross section are fixed at their ends to respective pairs of the main tubes by joint pieces, such that three branch tubes lie in a plane extending through the respective joint pieces perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the main tubes so as to form the isosceles triangle. A rail support is secured to each main tube of the base of the isosceles triangle at a position disposed upwardly and outwardly of the center thereof, and a rail, along which the movable body is traversable, is supported on each rail support.
