    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize an ice making tray driving device for an automatic ice machine which drives two ice making trays. SOLUTION: An engagement starting means is composed of projecting teeth 318, 328 formed by projecting at least one tooth of each of two output gears 31, 32 in the face width direction; a cylindrical part 431 axially adjoining a gear of a driving gear 43; a recessed tooth 432 provided at the cylindrical part 431 and formed to be meshed with the projecting teeth 318, 328; and a sliding member 44 which blocks the recessed tooth 432 of the cylindrical member 431 in a prescribed position. The sliding member 44 impedes engagement by maintaining the blocking of the recessed tooth 432 to the projecting tooth on the nonrotating output gear side when the driving gear 43 rotates either one of two output gears 31, 32. The engagement is thereby started only by the mutual facing of the projecting teeth 318, 328 and recessed tooth 432. As a result, the driving gear 43 can be made small to realize miniaturization.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress a crack and chip in ice caused when the ice is ejected from an ice tray, about an ice tray for making ice. SOLUTION: The ice tray 11 temporarily stores supplied water to make ice. A temperature-sensitive displacement element (bimetal element 16) that deforms below 0°C is arranged in a depression 14 formed in the bottom of an ice chamber 13 of the ice tray 11. After water in the ice tray freezes, the temperature-sensitive displacement element is deformed, and the displacement and force travels to the ice to promote a separation of the ice chamber 14 and the ice, thus suppressing a crack and chip in the ice.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water supply system where a tank and a driver can be separated easily and besides which can transmit the torque of the driver stably to a water supply pump within the tank. SOLUTION: This water supply system is composed of a water supply pump 14 which is constituted of a spiral vehicle 118 extended toward an opening from the vicinity of the inner bottom of a tank 112 for water reservation and a tubular case 119 covering the spiral vehicle 118, and a driver 115 which is arranged on the side of the opening of the tank 112 so as to rotate the spiral vehicle 118. The spiral vehicle 118 and the driver 115 are coupled with each other by means of joints (124 and 125) capable of separation in the direction vertical to the rotary shaft of the spiral vehicle 118, whereby the torque from the driver 115 to the spiral vehicle 118 is transmitted surely between the joints (124 and 125). Further, since the spiral vehicle 118 and the driver 115 are in contact by the joints (124 and 125) but are not fixed, they can by separated easily when mounting or removing the tank 112.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the structure of an automatic ice making device. SOLUTION: The automatic ice making device is provided with a switch lever 120 and a pivoting shaft 11. In the switch lever 120, a first protuberance 120c is energized into the pushing direction of a button 119a of a switch 119. The first protuberance 120c is separated from the button 119a of the switch 119 when a second protuberance is contacted with the projected part 121a of a switch operating cam of a cam gear 115. The pivoting shaft 116 is provided with an ice detecting lever 3 attached to the mounting unit 116a of the same and the follower unit 116b is pushed against the pivoting permitting cam 117 of the cam gear 115. In this case, the automatic ice making device is so constituted that a follower protuberance 116c pushes a switch lever 120 so that the first protuberance 120c cannot push the button 119a of the switch 119, when the follower unit 116b of the pivoting shaft 116 has arrived at the recess 117b of the pivoting permitting cam 117, and the ice detecting lever 3 can be invaded into an ice storage box 12 to permit the pivoting of the pivoting shaft 116 by an angle more than a predetermined value.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make two kinds of ice having different sizes and shapes from each other without requiring the labor exchanging an ice making pan and without reducing the number of ice pieces. SOLUTION: There are provided an ice making pan 51 that has a region 51a where ice is made into a square shape and a region 51b where ice is made into granules in a state where they are placed sharing their backs, and a driving part 52 for driving the ice making pan 51. The region 51a and the region 52b are constructed to be exchangeable with each other with the aid of the driving part 52. Hereby, two kinds of ice having different sizes and shapes can be produced without requiring the labor of exchanging the ice making pan and without reducing the number of ice pieces.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To save space by providing a heater having a deodorizing catalyst covering layer consisting of activated alumina, silica, zeolite and platinized metal and a control circuit controlling power to the heater to the inside of a deodorizing treatment channel. CONSTITUTION:When a user sits on a toilet seat, a sitting sensor sends detection output to a control section 131. After that, an exhausting blower 116 is driven with driving output from the control section 131, and malodor originated from the inside of a water closet body is absorbed in a deodorizing treatment channel W. Then, malodor comes into contact with a heater 130 and is absorbed into a deodorizing catalyst covering layer 130a consisting of activated alumina, silica, zeolite and platinized metal to eliminate. Deodorized exhaust is exhausted to the inside of toilet space from an exhaust port 117 through an exhaust section 113 and the blower 116. In addition, when power signals are outputted to the heater 130 from the control circuit 131a, the covering layer 130a is heated, absorbed malodor component is made odorless, and absorptive capacity of the covering layer 130a is reproduced.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To easily turn a circuit on or off via a manual action by providing a bimetal plate electrically connecting a contact terminal board and a lever inserted with an energizing force between a moving contact and the contact terminal board. CONSTITUTION:When the off-projection l9a of a lever is pushed, a tongue section 19e is rotated centering on a support hole 19d and inserted between the contact section 12b of a contact terminal board 12 and a moving contact 15 to cut off a circuit. The thrusting force of the off-projection 19a of the lever is quickly decreased from the initial thrusting force at its peak, when the initial thrusting force or above is applied, the thrust speed of the off-projection 19a is quickly increased, then the off-operation is completed. At the time of an on-action, the returning force of a bimetal plate 14 tends to extrude the tongue section 19e of the lever along a curve via the moving contact 15, thus the thrusting force of an on-projection 19b becomes zero instantly, and the on-operation is completed. An optional circuit can be turned on or off.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To cutoff a current before fuming of a lead wire by directly absorbing heat generated by a melting part due to an overcurrent by means of an endothermic block for prolonging a time up to fusing of the melting part. CONSTITUTION:When an overcurrent several times a rated current flows, the melting part 8a of a fuse element 8 generates heat and a temperature of the melting part 8a starts to rise. In this case, since the melting part 8a is in contact with the surface of an endothermic block, heat generated at the melting part 8a is partially absorbed by a block 7 so that temperature rise is gentle. And, when the temperature of the melting part 8a reaches a melting temperature, that is a melting point of tin which is a material of the fuse element 8, the melting part 8a is melted to be cut for cutting-off the overcurrent. The melting point of the fuse element 8 so low as 232 deg.C that the fuse element is cut off in scores of seconds at the current value not less than 50A while being cutoff in hundreds seconds at the current value not exceeding 50A. Thereby, cutoff can be made before fuming of the lead wire.
