An air pressure shock absorber for smoothly stopping a moving object reciprocated by a rod in an air pressure cylinder. The shock absorber absorbs and reduces the internal pressure of a chamber in the cylinder to smoothly stop the moving object by the communication of air compressed in the chamber to the atmosphere through a bypass passage formed in a cylinder wall. The air pressure is released to the atmosphere after the piston has moved through a predetermined stroke.

Air pressure shock absorber

An improvement of an electromagnetic valve apparatus, in which a fluid passage is opened or closed by a movable iron core. The invention provides a hand-operated transfer device having a flat spring member with a large diameter annular element and a small diameter annular element, and an extended element which is connected with both annular elements at one portion. A hand operated member has an inner end which contacts an end of the extended element and is operable from the other end from the outside of the valve. Operation of the member results in movement of the iron core by the small diameter annular element.
