Abstract: The present invention relates to a pitcher-type water purifier, comprising: a pitcher body including a cylindrical casing having a bottom and a partition for partitioning the inside of the casing; a pitcher lid liquid-tightly closing an opened top end of the pitcher body; and a water purifying cartridge detachably attached to an opened attachment part in the partition.

Abstract: A water purifier-use cartridge includes a container main body having a filtering medium container and a lid portion bonded to the opening end side of the filtering medium container and a filtering medium in the filtering medium container. The lid portion has a water intake port and a water discharge port, a first water passage communicating with the water intake port is formed on an outer side of the filtering medium in the filtering medium container. The filtering medium is molded activated carbon having a second water passage and a hollow fiber membrane is configured to be in touch with the second water passage. The molded activated carbon and the hollow fiber membrane are disposed along a central axis direction of the filtering medium container, the water purifier-use cartridge is configured such that water flows from the first water passage to the second water passage through the molded activated carbon.

Abstract: A water purification cartridge is detachably provided inside a water purifier, which includes: a plurality of single cartridges, each of which includes a bottomed cylindrical casing body; and one or more ceiling wall portions which block upper end openings of the plurality of single cartridges, wherein the inside of the plurality of single cartridges becomes a filter medium storage portion, and wherein the plurality of single cartridges is disposed in the lateral direction and is detachably connected to each other.

Abstract: There is provided a water purifier in which a display portion can obtain a higher waterproof property and the workability in manufacturing of the display portion can be improved. In a water purifier which includes a display portion (10) displaying announcement information, the display portion (10) includes an indicator (24), a circuit board (22) to which a control circuit controlling the indicator (24) is attached, and a case (26) which accommodates the indicator (24) and the circuit board (22), the case (26) includes a case main body (27) which has a cylindrical shape having opening portions at both ends thereof and is made of a transparent material, and a lid body (28) which liquid-tightly closes a first opening portion (27a) of the case main body, and a second opening portion (27b) of the case main body (27) is sealed by a resin (25).

Abstract: An underwater communication apparatus is provided which enables safe and clear speech transmission. An exhalation pipe which defines an acoustic space for communicating with an interior space of a mouthpiece is connected at one end to a site adjacent a breathing port of the mouthpiece. An exhaust valve which allows the flow of air only from the mouthpiece toward an exhaust port of the exhalation pipe is provided adjacent the exhaust port. A sound receiver portion having a capacitor microphone is provided within the exhalation pipe at a site upstream of the exhaust valve. When voice is uttered while the mouthpiece is held in the mouth, exhaled air is emitted from the exhaust port through the exhalation pipe and the exhaust valve, so that the capacitor microphone is less liable to noise trouble due to bubbles produced at the exhaust port, or on the downstream side. Speech transmission is made underwater by a waterproof speaker on the basis of an output of the capacitor microphone.
