Title: Surface treatment apparatus
Inventor: UCHIUMI MASAYUKI
IPC: C23C18/31
Filed: 2016-11-02
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface treatment apparatus that suppresses a defect from occurring.SOLUTION: A treatment liquid passes through a treatment liquid collection port and air discharge port 13 at a lower part of a cistern 4 and is accumulated in a tank 15. Air having been warmed with the treatment liquid moves to an upper part (a part where no treatment liquid is present) of the tank 15 through a treatment liquid collection port and air discharge port 13 at a lower part of the cistern 4, and is discharged through an exhaust duct 17. Thus, air which is to move up in the cistern 4 as a temperature rises is discharged from a lower part to be replaced with outside air from an upper part, so that air in the cistern 4 can be made uniform in temperature. Therefore, the temperature of a treatment liquid reaching a lower part of the substrate 54 from an upper part can be kept uniform. In the tank 4, a flow of air is directed from the upper part to the lower part, a substrate 54 is drawn downward to make a shake of the substrate 54 small. Therefore, the possibility that the substrate 54 comes into contact with an entrance 44 and an exit 46 is reducible.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7

IPC: E04B1/684
Filed: 2016-11-17
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration including a hydrophobic urethane foam material and a water-absorbing swelling foam resin material which makes it possible to prevent a panel breakage due to water absorption freezing while improving airtight performance and watertight performance.SOLUTION: In an exterior wall joint material 10, a hydrophobic urethane foam material 14 and a water-absorbing swelling urethane foam material 16 are laminated in a panel thickness direction T in a joint 26 between exterior wall panels 22 and 24, so that there is no portion formed only of the hydrophobic urethane foam material 14 in the panel thickness direction T. This makes it possible to improve an airtight performance and a watertight performance compared to the case where there is the portion. Besides, since the water-absorbing swelling urethane foam material 16 is supported by the hydrophobic urethane foam material 14 in the panel thickness direction T, it is possible to reduce the dimension of the water-absorbing swelling urethane foam material 16 in the panel thickness direction T. Accordingly, it is possible to facilitate the deformation of the water-absorbing swelling urethane foam material 16 at the time of water absorption freezing, and reduce the pressure exerted on the exterior wall panels 22 and 24.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
