A cable drawn from a lower arm of a robot into a first upper arm part of an upper arm is further drawn out to an exterior space of the robot through a first hole of a second upper arm part. The cable is drawn in contact with a sidewall part of the second upper arm part, and is disposed in a wrist arrangement portion through a second hole. A slack part is formed taking account of a length of the cable pulled by a wrist when the wrist pivots in the wrist arrangement portion, and the cable is drawn to a tool through a through hole of the wrist.

An exhaust treatment unit is used to treat an exhaust gas from an engine of the work vehicle. The exhaust treatment unit includes a first exhaust treatment device, a second exhaust treatment device and a first bracket. The first exhaust treatment device and the second exhaust treatment device are attached to the first bracket. The first bracket includes a brim part and a main body part. The main body part has a convex shape downwardly bulged from the brim part. The main body part includes a first support portion and a second support portion. The first support portion directly supports the first exhaust treatment device. The second support portion directly supports the second exhaust treatment device.

An air jet for producing a filter plug for cigarette comprising an imparting portion for propelling force to a tow-like fiber bundle and a beak portion, wherein said imparting portion is constructed by a trumpet (21) having a converged tip end region, a trumpet holder (23) coaxially and encirclingly assembled on the trumpet (21) so that a primary air chamber (26a) is formed between the bodies of the trumpet and the trumpet holder, and an annular slit (29) communicated with the primary air chamber (26a) is also formed between the tip end regions of the trumpet (21) and the trumpet holder (23). An inner tube (22) is disposed coaxially in front of the assembly of the trumpet (21) and the trumpet holder (23), whereby a fiber path through which the tow-like fiber bundle is fed to a tongue of a filter plug machine is formed through the air jet along the axis thereof; the fiber bundle being accelerated by a propelling force imparted by compressed air ejected from the annular slit (29) to the fiber path. An inner tube holder (25) is coaxially and encirclingly assembled on the inner tube (22) to form the beak portion (30) so that a secondary air chamber (26b) is formed between the bodies of the inner tube (22) and the inner tube holder (25), and a means for opening and interlacing fibers in the fiber bundle is provided in the inner tube (22).

A stick absorber for the oral cavity comprising a bundle of fibers, the periphery of said bundle of fibers being wrapped with a water-permeable tape, and said tape being adhered at its joint with a binder. The stick absorber has high water absorbability and spacing effects, and does not release its constituent fibers into the oral cavity.

Stick absorber for oral cavity

A method and device for forming a warp beam of uniform diameter by feedback control of winding tension, in which a signal obtained from local winding tensions, each corresponding to a tension of a yarn at a certain widthwise position, are utilized for adjusting the position and width of a reed so that distribution of the warp on the beam is improved and an intra-beam diameter difference is compensated. One of the signals obtained from the local winding tensions is utilized for adjusting the rotational speed of rollers so that an inter-beam diameter difference is compensated. Thus, a warp beam without intra- or inter-beam diameter difference can always be produced.

Method for forming warp beam of uniform diameter

A tobacco smoke filter includes a corrugated tape-like wrapping which, together with an outer perforated or otherwise air-permeable paper, defines a set of longitudinal grooves. Each of the grooves includes a blocking member, so as to inhibit direct smoke flow through the grooves and promote a ventilation effect. The blocking members in each groove are longitudinally staggered from one groove to the next to simplify the production of the device.

A filter plug having a dual structure comprising filter element A made from a crimped long filter tow in a form of a plug, filter element B, joined to said A, prepared by wrapping a core material consisting of a long fiber tow in a sheet-formed product having grooves which is formed from a material having an air permeability of 8 liters/minute or less and an air permeable wrapping paper and/or a wrapping paper with perforated openings on its periphery which is wrapping therein said filter elements A and B so that the outer grooves parts of the sheet-formed product pass through in the longer direction of the filter plug.

Filter plug

A method and apparatus for producing a tobacco smoke filter having a double structure composed of one inner core phase in a special fibrous arrangement and an outer skin layer in a different fibrous arrangement surrounding the core phase. The tobacco smoke filters made according to the present invention possess high collapse strength and physical and chemical characteristics in which the tastable components are filtered with low efficiency, while the tar and other particulate harmful matter are filtered with high efficiency.

Method for producing a tobacco smoke filter plug

A method for manufacturing cigarette filters which have a well-stabilized shape in which acetate fibrous tows impregnated with carboxylic acid ester of polyol are formed into a predetermined shape, uniformly impregnated with water, and irradiated with microwave energy. Water is used during the application of microwave energy to enhance the absorption of microwave energy and hence heating of the filter. This causes the carboxylic acid ester of polyol to very rapidly disperse causing it to permeate into the acetate fiber to rapidly complete the stabilization and solidification of the filter.

A tobacco smoke filter plug comprises fiber tow fillings in the form of cylinder, composed of an inner core phase and an outer skin layer different from each other in fibrous arrangement structure thereof, the inner core phase consisting of fillings in a folded arrangement structure having a folding axis forming an angle of .alpha. with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the filter plug in cross section, and the outer skin layer consisting of fillings in a folded structure substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the filter plug in cross section and surrounding said inner core phase.
