Abstract

A liquid dispensing container 102 comprises a container body 2a, a lid part 30, and a valve part 140 fitted to a center part of the lid part 30 and rotatably supported. The valve part 140 includes a first channel, a first contact surface 142 configured to be in watertight contact with the lid part 30 irrespectively of the rotational state of the valve part 140, and a second contact surface 144 configured to assume a contact state of being in watertight contact with the lid part 30 or a non-contact state of not being in watertight contact with the lid part 30, depending on the rotational state of the valve part 140. The second contact surface 144 is provided with a communicating opening 47d that connects to the first channel. When the second contact surface 144 assumes the contact state, the communicating opening 47d is closed by the lid part 30, and the interior of the container body 2a and the first channel are blocked. When the second contact surface 144 is in the non-contact state, the interior of the container body 2a and the first channel communicate through the communicating opening 47d. The second contact surface 144 has a level difference with respect to the first contact surface 142 in the radial direction of the valve part 140.

Abstract

This control device controls a residential facility and comprises: a communication unit capable of performing wireless communication with an access point having two or more SSIDs including a first SSID and a second SSID; and a control unit for controlling the residential facility on the basis of a control instruction for the residential facility. The control unit analyzes wireless communication with the access point in which the first SSID is used. When the first SSID is also used for the next wireless communication with the access point, the control unit determines whether a response period from the start of acquisition of the control instruction to the implementation of a predetermined function by the residential facility according to the control instruction will be longer than a reference response period.

Abstract

A toilet assembly may comprise a toilet tank to hold flush water, a flush valve assembly positioned in the toilet tank, a trapway in flow communication with the toilet bowl, a container positioned in the toilet tank, and a connecting tube extending from an interior of the container to the trapway. Between flush cycles, the tank may store a volume of flush water. The flush water may be divided between different regions of the tank that are defined by the structure of the container. Between flush cycles, the container and the trapway may contain pressurized air. A force exerted by pressurized air in the trapway on water in a lower trap may cause an upstream water level in the lower trap to be lower than a downstream water level in the lower trap.

Abstract

The present invention provides a door fitting improved in aesthetic appearance by unifying lateral widths of leading-edge and trailing-edge vertical stiles of two paper sliding-doors without requiring a structure where when the leading-edge vertical stiles of two paper sliding-doors sliding on the same rail are brought into contact with each other, the leading-edge vertical stile of one paper sliding-door overlaps and covers the indoor-facing surface of the leading-edge vertical stile of the other paper sliding-door. The door fitting comprises a first paper sliding-door and a second paper sliding-door sliding on an indoor-side rail extending in the longitudinal direction of a horizontal frame. The first paper sliding-door has a first leading-edge vertical stile and a first trailing-edge vertical stile, and the second paper sliding-door has a second leading-edge vertical stile and a second trailing-edge vertical stile. In closed states of the first paper sliding-door and the second paper sliding-door, the total lateral width of the first leading-edge vertical stile and the second leading-edge vertical stile, which are brought into contact with each other, is equal to the lateral width of each of the first trailing-edge vertical stile and the second trailing-edge vertical stile.

Abstract

A plumbing fixture system comprising a plumbing fixture bowl and a trapway fluidly coupled with the plumbing fixture bowl. The plumbing fixture system further comprises a Venturi device comprising an inlet and an outlet. The Venturi device forms an interior volume. The Venturi device further forming a channel from the inlet to the outlet. The interior volume is fluidly coupled to the channel. Liquid flow from the inlet to the outlet causes a first reduction in pressure in the interior volume. The plumbing fixture system further comprises a conduit extending from the interior volume of the Venturi device to the trapway. The first reduction in pressure in the interior volume of the Venturi device causes a second reduction in pressure in the trapway.

Abstract

Provided is a cylinder lock in which an inner cylinder can freely rotate with respect to an outer cylinder and a deviation amount in an axial direction between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder can be minimized, and which allows for a reduced diameter. This cylinder lock comprises an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder rotatably fitting with the inner cylinder. The inner cylinder has a fixed pin insertion groove extending along a circumferential direction on an outer circumferential surface. The outer cylinder has a fixed pin insertion hole communicating with the fixed pin insertion groove at a position corresponding to the fixed pin insertion groove. As the fixed pin is inserted into the fixed pin insertion hole toward the fixed pin insertion groove, the inner cylinder is positioned with respect to the outer cylinder rotatably and so as not to fall out in the axial direction.

Abstract

A method for producing a resin composition molded body according to the present disclosure comprises: preparing a plastic waste containing a low melting point resin having a melting point in the range of 80°C to less than 190°C and a non-low melting point resin that is a high melting point resin or a thermosetting resin having a melting point of 190°C or higher; pulverizing the plastic waste to obtain a resin composition powder; adding at least one of a low melting point resin-containing powder and a non-low melting point resin-containing powder prepared in advance to the resin composition powder, and mixing to obtain a resin composition powder mixture adjusted so that the ratio of the content of the low melting point resin to the content of the non-low melting point resin falls within a predetermined range; and molding the resin composition powder mixture to obtain a resin composition molded body.

Abstract

A method for producing a resin composition molded body according to the present disclosure comprises: preparing a plastic waste that includes at least one of waste plastic residues derived from general waste, a waste plastic derived from industrial waste, and a waste plastic derived from marine plastic waste, and that contains a low melting point resin having a melting point in the range of not lower than 80°C but lower than 190°C and a non-low melting point resin including a thermosetting resin and/or a high melting point resin having a melting point not lower than 190°C; subjecting the plastic waste or a crushed material obtained by crushing the plastic waste to a treatment for removing magnetic substances and a water-washing treatment; pulverizing the plastic waste or the crushed material after the water-washing treatment to obtain a resin composition powder; and molding the resin composition powder to obtain the resin composition molded body.
