ARTICULATING FAUCET
A water delivery device includes a first conduit section and a second conduit section rotatably coupled to the first conduit section by a magnetic joint. The magnetic joint includes a plurality of magnets that cooperatively define a plurality of rotational positions between the first conduit 5 section and the second conduit section.
SEAL MEMBER AND SWIVEL JOINT
A seal member includes: an inner circumferential surface surrounding a central axis; an upper surface connected to one end of the inner circumferential surface in an axial direction of the central axis; a lower surface connected to another end of the inner circumferential surface in the axial direction; and a protrusion that is provided continuously to the inner circumferential surface so as to surround the central axis and that includes a first portion inclined to the upper surface side toward one side in a circumferential direction of the central axis and a second portion inclined to the lower surface side toward the one side in the circumferential direction.

Substrate processing apparatus
Provided is a substrate processing apparatus that includes: a rotary joint including a rotary unit that rotates together with the rotation of the head unit, a fixing unit that is provided around the rotary unit, and a sealing unit that seals a gap between the rotary unit and the fixing unit; and an outlet pipe through which the quenching water is discharged. A first flow passage through which a gas passes and a second flow passage through which the quenching water passes are formed in the rotary joint, and the second flow passage is isolated from the first flow passage by the sealing unit. One end of the outlet pipe communicates with an outlet port of the second flow passage of the rotary joint, and the other end of the outlet pipe is opened to atmosphere at a position lower than the outlet port of the second flow passage.
