A main body structure for an underground parking lot has an outer wall formed in a substantially cylindrical shape to define a space under the ground. A radial structural body is formed in and connected to the outer wall to support the same on the inside thereof and to divide the space within the outer wall into plural vehicle accommodation spaces. The underground parking lot constructed with this main body structure includes vehicle accommodation mechanisms which are arranged in the respective vehicle accommodation spaces.

Main body structure for underground parking lot and underground parking

A method for supplying aromas to a space includes the steps of retaining a plurality of aromatic materials in respective reservoirs, selecting at least one of the aromatic materials according to a predetermined timetable determined on the basis of activities of people in the space at each time, diffusing a predetermined amount of the selected aromatic material in air to obtain aromatized air, and sending the aromatized air into the space. The apparatus for supplying aromas includes a receptor having plural aromas, a controller for controlling the receptor to select one stated aroma from the plural aromas in the receptor according to an influence on people by the stated aroma at a stated time in a day, and a ventilator for supplying an air containing the stated aroma. A facility provided with an apparatus for supplying aromas includes plural zones with each being provided with the apparatus, and plural routes for connecting the zones to each other.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for conveying refuse containers in a structure such as an office building. The apparatus includes (a) a generally vertical shaft passing through a plurality of floors in the structure; (b) a longitudinally elongated cab suitable for being positioned in the shaft, the elongated cab containing a plurality of refuse containers in such a manner that the refuse containers are vertically aligned, and having a plurality of lateral windows as portals at least at the top and bottom of the elongated cab for the refuse containers; (c) a first lift installed in the shaft, the first lift moving the elongated cab up and down in a generally vertical line throughout the shaft. Thereby, the refuse containers loaded into the elongated cab are vertically conveyed by the first lift. In addition, if a second lifting mechanism is installed in the elongated cab for moving the refuse containers up and down in a generally vertical line throughout the elongated cab, the refuse containers are prevented from falling too fast and being damaged during the loading and unloading of the refuse containers.
