  • Patent number: 9758984
    Abstract: A demolishing method utilizes an aggregate stack demolishing scaffold apparatus mounted to an upper part of an aggregate stack including four smoke funnels arranged adjacent to each other. An uneven scaffold including one plate-shaped upper scaffold portion is placed on an upper end of each smoke funnel. A lower scaffold portion is coupled to the upper scaffold portion and located in lower positions in the smoke funnels with the upper scaffold portion being placed on the upper ends of the smoke funnels. A chain block suspends and supports the uneven scaffold from and on an inner wall of each smoke funnel, and adjusts a suspending height. With this configuration, the upper scaffold portion is located on the upper ends of the smoke funnels, and thus there is no possibility of contact between the scaffolds in the smoke funnels causing a worker to lose his balance, thereby improving safety.

  • Patent number: 5544428
    Abstract: A clothes drier according to the present invention can minimize failures in a sensor and can satisfactorily detect drying processing irrespective of the environment. In the clothes drier, an atmospheric temperature sensor 44L for detecting the substrate temperature required to determine the termination of the drying processing is disposed outside a circulating duct 18 and is mounted on a control substrate 42 having a thermal capacity on which a microcomputer for controlling operations performed by the clothes drier is mounted. Since the sensor 44L is provided outside the circulating duct 18, the sensor 44L is less affected by dust and water, as compared with a case where it is provided inside the circulating duct 18.
