Abstract: In the silencer (30) of the present invention, a cylindrical porous plate (34) is provided on the outer circumferential side of a path forming component that forms a sound absorption path. The porous plate (34) has a plurality of micro holes penetrating it in the thickness direction. By forming the plurality of micro holes on the outer circumferential side of the porous plate (34), sound generated by the air flowing along the sound absorption path is attenuated without any sound absorption material being used. The porous plate (34) is formed from metal. As a result, there is no source for generating for dust and dirt such as sound absorption materials formed, for example, from connected foam resin and fiber. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce sound that is generated by the flow of air while also reducing the creation of dust and dirt.

Abstract: A hydraulic controlling device in which, when performing a combined operational process, a position of a straight travel valve (25) is switched to a straight travel position (C) to drive both a travel motor (13) and a working actuator (12,7) by separate pumps (19,20). In this case, to prevent a sudden reduction in travel speed resulting from a reduction in a flow amount at a travel side, pump lines (P 1 ,P 2 ) of both pumps (19,20) are connected to each other at an intermediate position (B) by a connection path (27), so that a portion of oil at a working side is sent towards the travel side. With such a structure, when a rotational speed of an engine is less than a set rotational speed, an opening amount of the connection path (27) is reduced through a straight travel proportional valve (23) by a controller (26), thereby preventing pressure interference causing, for example, the working actuator (12,7) to no longer move.
