Abstract: A filtering material for air filters, the filtering material including a base material; and an enzyme-containing antibacterial material, an inorganic anti-allergenic material, and a fungal inhibitor, all being supported on the base material.

Abstract: A cassette comprises a storage portion configured to include a loading surface on which a sheet is loaded, a sheet guide configured to pivot with respect to a pivot central axis that is parallel to the loading surface, a pivot support shaft extending on two sides of the sheet guide along the pivot central axis, in the sheet guide, and a bearing portion configured to pivotably support the pivot support shaft, an insertion portion formed at a portion of the pivot support shaft, an insertion groove formed from the loading surface toward the bearing portion, and a flexible pressing portion disposed outside the insertion groove, and configured to press a leading end portion of the pivot support shaft.

Abstract: An electric stapler includes a binding unit configured to perform binding processing on a sheet bundle by sequentially executing a clamping process of clamping the sheet bundle, a penetration process of penetrating a staple through the clamped sheet bundle, and a clinching process of pressing leg portions of the staple penetrating through the sheet bundle, a motor configured to drive the binding unit, and a controller configured to control the motor. The controller is configured to control the motor to execute the clamping on the sheet bundle or the pressing on the leg portions multiple times in the clamping process.

Abstract: This is a portable toilet device. Broken excrement may be certainly drained. Means (40) for breaking the excrement having crushing blades is installed in the stagnant portion (18) of the body (20) of the toilet device, means (200) for sending the broken excrement by compression, which sends compressed air into the stagnant portion (18), and a lid for open and closure that closes the stagnant portion (18) tightly are provided. When treating the excrement after bowel movement, the lid for open and closure is closed and then, by driving the means for breaking the excrement, the excrement is stirred and broken into fragments with the stagnant portion being tightly closed. After breaking the excrement into fragments, compressed air is jetted into the stagnant portion so that a liquid mixture formed by breaking the excrement into fragments can be sent by compression toward a side of drain hose (14).

Abstract: This invention relates to a clip with which sheets can be fastened without being pricked. A plurality of long-and-narrow rectangular plate-like clips to be used in a clipping apparatus are arranged to be spaced away from the neighboring clips in parallel. The plurality of plate-like clips are connected by connecting members, and the connected unit of the clips is wound into a roll so that the connecting members are positioned outside the roll.

Abstract: A binding device for binding a stack of sheets with a bind member in which parallel legs extend perpendicularly from a straight portion, the binding device comprises: a driver plate which drives the straight portion of the bind member toward the legs; curved shaping guide grooves which are formed to respectively correspond to the legs; and a fulcrum member which is disposed in the vicinity of and inside one end of each of the shaping guide grooves, and which constitutes shaping fulcrums, the shaping fulcrums respectively engaging with side faces of the legs of the bind member which is driven out toward the one end of each of the shaping guide grooves, thereby bendingly shaping the legs, and, during a period after the bind member is driven out and before the legs are formed into ring-like shapes by the fulcrum member and the shaping guide grooves, the legs are passed through punched holes formed in an edge portion of each of sheets.

Abstract: The transfer press has a blank-supply mechanism for supplying blanks which are materials for every kind of part to be manufactured by pressing, one by one to a press, a blank-transport mechanism for carrying blanks from the blank-supply mechanism to the press, a transfer feed mechanism for feeding blanks that have been supplied to the press one by one to dies of each stage along the bed of the press, a die exchange mechanism for exchanging dies when different parts are to be manufactured, a feed bar exchange mechanism for removing and exchanging feed bars which are a part of the transfer feed mechanism, when dies are to be changed, a die cooling oil circuit connecting mechanism for connecting a cooling circuit to a newly placed die in order to cool it, a pressure adjusting mechanism for die cushioning mounted on the bed of the press, and a program control mechanism for the automatic operation of the press, which controls the above-described mechanisms as well as the press in relation to blank supplying and ma
