An optical axis adjustment jig includes a main unit portion that is configured to be disposed between a pair of head units, and is fashioned in a flat plate shape. The main unit portion includes a reference portion for adjusting a distance between the head units, and an inclination of an optical axis of each of the head units, and a screen portion for aligning the optical axes of the head units. The reference portion and the screen portion are disposed arrayed in a direction orthogonal to a thickness direction of the main unit portion.

A measurement method includes a step of measuring an object to be measured and a reference object by a first measurement unit and a second measurement unit. The first measurement unit has a first displacement meter and a second displacement meter that face each other in a first direction and measure the distance from the object to be measured. The second measurement unit has a third displacement meter and a fourth displacement meter that face each other in the first direction and measure the distance from the reference object. A frame-like supporting member includes a first frame portion supporting the first displacement meter and the third displacement meter, a second frame portion supporting the second displacement meter and the fourth displacement meter, and a third frame portion and a fourth frame portion that connect both end portions of the first frame portion and the second frame portion to each other.

A calibration determination device includes: a free roll that conveys the bonding member; a load detection device that detects a load applied to a bearing of the free roll; a tension adjustment device that winds the bonding member to increase a tension applied to the bonding member and unwinds the bonding member to reduce the tension applied to the bonding member so as to adjust the tension applied to the bonding member; and a calibration determination unit that determines whether calibration of the load detection device is necessary. The tension adjustment device unwinds the bonding member to cause the bonding member not to be subjected to the tension, and the calibration determination unit determines whether the calibration of the load detection device is necessary based on the load detected by the load detection device with the bonding member not being subjected to the tension.

A catalyst container of a catalytic converter is of a double-pipe structure wherein an outer periphery of an inner pipe and an inner periphery of an outer pipe are fittingly superposed on each other. The catalyst container has a catalyst installing portion, tapered cone portions extending from the catalyst installing portion with a gradually decreasing diameter, and straight connecting portions extending from smallest-diameter regions of the cone portions to the ends to be connected with connecting pipes upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter. Holes maybe formed in the cone portions of one of the inner or outer pipes to permit fluids to be displaced from the space therebetween. Such a catalyst container has sufficient rigidity and radiated noise suppression properties and thus can be reduced in weight by being thinned.
