Abstract: In a stationary induction apparatus, an inter-partial-coil insulating plate and a plurality of inter-partial-coil spacer insulators form a refrigerant flow path in conjunction with each other. A space having an inter-partial-coil insulation dimension for withstanding an abnormal voltage is formed between a pair of partial coils. The inter-partial-coil insulating plate and the inter-partial-coil spacer insulators support both the pair of partial coils at an insulated state so as to maintain the inter-partial-coil insulation dimension. The insulators are arranged so as to be overlapped with each other in the direction in which mutually adjacent partial coils are opposed to each other.

In the oil immersed transformer in which a coil with its surface covered by insulating paper is arranged in a container filled with insulating oil, a detection member is prepared by providing two electrodes on a surface of a plate-like pressboard formed of cellulose, which is a same material as that of the insulating paper, this detection member is arranged in contact with the insulating oil, and generation of copper sulfide is detected from reduction in a surface resistance between the electrodes. The temperature of the detection member is set higher than the temperature of the coil so that copper sulfide is generated thereon prior to generation of copper sulfide on a coil unit.

Abstract: A mechanism for connecting ornamental parts of wrist watches that permit easily connecting and disconnecting ornamental parts without using any special tool and without marring the appearance of wrist watches. A stepped pin is inserted in a larger-diameter bore of a cocoon-shaped ring fitted in an end piece and a bore in a watch casing. Then, a smaller-diameter part of the stepped pin is moved into a smaller-diameter bore by pulling the watch casing and a band longitudinally. With the stepped pin thus securely held in place, the watch casing and band are firmly connected.
