Abstract: A vehicular anti-skid control apparatus comprises a differential pressure detector for detecting the pressure difference inside brake lines of separate brake channels, a brake failure detector for detecting failure in one of the brake channels based on the anti-skid control state of each brake channel, a brake failure evaluator for evaluating failure of the brake system based on both output signals of the differential pressure detector and brake failure detector wherein the anti-skid control method is changed from normal anti-skid control to a particular anti-skid control when a brake failure occurs.

Abstract: A container of a liquid applicator containing a liquid, and an applicator member is held on the container for applying the liquid to an objective part. The applicator member is mounted for movement into and out of the container and a biasing member is provided to bias the applicator member outwardly of the container. When the applicator member is pressed into the container against the force of the biasing member, the liquid is caused to exude to the surface of the applicator member outside the container. Therefore, it is possible to provide a liquid applicator which has a container of any desired volume and made of a rigid and hard material and which allows only the liquid to exude to the outer surface of the container and be spread properly and effectively over an objective part.

Abstract: A packaging method, and an apparatus for carrying out the method, comprises the operation of a conveyor for conveying articles to be packaged, the supply of a packaging film to be formed into a tubular-shaped package for enclosing or packaging the articles to be packaged, and the provision of end sealing mechanisms for sealing the ends of the tubular packages.

Abstract: A packaging article inclusion-proofing device for use with an end-sealing mechanism includes a motor for driving a conveyor for feeding packaging articles, with a predetermined space therebetween, into a packaging material which is disposed downstream and formed into a packaging tube, a motor for driving a series of rolls which deliver the packaging material, and a motor for driving an end-sealing mechanism for achieving end-sealing of the tubular packaging material. A deviation detecting sensor is provided for detecting any deviation of the packaging articles from a position at which they would normally be disposed during the end-sealing operation. A reference timing pulse generator generates predetermined reference timing pulses with respect to the feeding of the packaging articles.

Abstract: A vacant package-proofing control device for use in conenction with a packaging machine includes a first motor for driving a conveyor for feeding articles to be packaged, with a predetermined spaced defined therebetween, and a second motor for driving a series of rolls which deliver packaging material, formed into a tube, into which the articles are to be inserted for packaging. A third motor is also provided for driving a pair of end-sealing mechanisms. An absence detecting sensor is disposed at a predetermined position upstream of the end-sealing mechanisms for detecting the absence of any packaging article from its predetermined position upon its conveyor. A reference timing pulse generator is also provided for generating predetermined reference timing pulses in connection with the timing of the feeding of the packaging articles.
