There is provided a cable television/telephone tap, which can be set at a given position on a coaxial cable, and which is capable of practically and economically supplying a telephone service simultaneously with a cable television service, and also of quickly and economically accommodating expansions, replacements and modifications to the system. A cable television/telephone tap, using coaxial cables for splitting high-frequency signals and current for telephones and then supplying the same to subscribers includes a plurality of enclosures 1 and 2, having at least an upper side enclosure and a lower side enclosure; a branch terminal 9 for the high-frequency signals for the subscribers, which is provided on either the upper side enclosure or the lower side enclosure of a fully united enclosure wall; through-holes 7, which are provided on the same enclosure wall as the branch terminal; current-splitting wires which feed the current for telephones, the current-splitting wires being inserted through the through-holes; and a partition 43, which is provided around the through-holes in the enclosure wall, so as to assist the enclosure in surrounding the through-holes.

Cable television/telephone tap

Provided is a termination coaxial connector, having a wide frequency band, which is capable of handling digital signals. A coaxial F-type receptacle connector connects to a coaxial F-type plug connector. The receptacle connector principally comprises an outer conductor 1, a insulating sliding tube 2 which is accommodated inside the outer conductor so as to slide therein, a securing member 6 for securing the insulating sliding tube to the outer conductor, and a center conductor 5 which is supported in the center of the securing member 6 The insulating sliding tube further comprises a coiled spring 4 and a termination element 3, the insulating sliding tube being ordinarily forced outwards by the expansive force of the coiled spring, but being pushed between the center conductor and the termination element when a plug connector is inserted, whereby the electrical connection is broken, the termination is cancelled and both connectors are connected. When the plug connector is removed, the insulating sliding tube is once again forced out, causing the center conductor to contact the termination element and reinstate the termination.

Termination coaxial connector

An automatic water faucet in which the neck portion can be easily attached to the sink, after a common base for receiving the faucet has been attached. To achieve such a purpose, the automatic water faucet comprises a water faucet seat and a neck portion. The water faucet seat is constructed to engage with the neck portion by inserting the neck portion into the water faucet seat and rotating the former repeatedly to the latter so as to assemble them together.

A toilet fixture automatic flushing device comprising: a sensor means for detecting proximity of a human body, a signal receiving means for receiving externally imparted data, and a control means whereby: after elapse of a first predetermined time, departure of the human body is detected and flushing water is emitted; and said signal received time by said receiving means and a second predetermined time are compared; and if said signal receiving time is shorter, regardless of said sensor detection, flushing water is emitted; and if said signal receiving time exceeds said predetermined time, at a third predetermined time, the flushing water emission is stopped.

Toilet fixture automatic flushing device

There is provided a chemicals mixed type automatic flushing device which can be easily provided at an existing flush valve. This automatic cleaning device comprises: a sensor for detecting the human body; a first electromagnetic valve attached to the existing flush valve and adapted to be opened and closed on the basis of an output of the sensor; a tank for accommodating chemicals therewithin; a second electromagnetic valve provided at the tank and adapted to be opened and closed on the basis of an output of the sensor; and a connection tube adapted for connecting the portion where a push-button of the flush valve is detached and the tank, and for introducing, into the flush valve, the chemicals which have flowed out from the tank when the second electromagnetic valve is opened to mix these into the flushing water which has flowed out when the first electromagnetic valve is opened.
