A method for preparing a layered perovskite compound thin film having a film thickness and structure controlled at a monomolecular layer and capable of combining various layered perovskite compounds at the level of a monomolecular layer. The method a superlattice structure represented by the general formula A2MX4 where A is an organic ammonium molecule, M is a group 4 element or transition metal and X is halogen layers of organic ammonium molecule "A" and layers of inorganic halide "MX4" are alternately stacked. A monomolecular film of an organic amine hydrohalic acid salt having a long-chain alkyl group is spread out on the surface of a water solution of an inorganic halide MX2 and a methylamine hydrohalic acid salt. By leaving the monomolecular film, a layered perovskite compound monomolecular film is formed on the surface of the water solution. This layered perovskite monomolecular film is transferred and stacked onto a substrate on a one by one basis by using the Langmuir-Blodgett method.

A multifunctional restrictive valve for controlling the flow of water therethrough. The valve has a main body with a flow channel through the main body. The main body receives water upstream thereof through an inlet port and passes it out through an outlet port at the downstream end of the body. A flow control assembly is located in the flow channel and includes a temperature sensor/actuator acting on a piston to move, when the temperature sensor heats up the piston, to block water flow control ports. The flow control assembly also includes an override feature wherein the piston is located within a slide and the flow control ports are located in the slide. By moving the slide away from the piston when the piston is blocking the flow control ports, the temperature sensor and piston may be overridden and flow may resume through the main body.

This invention is to be used primarily in the hunting or outdoor viewing arena and utilizes mirrored panels to camouflage the user of said invention from detection by wildlife. These mirrored panels are thin, lightweight, strong, scratch resistant and provide a true image of the surroundings so as to facilitate the perfect camouflage. In any the terrain, this invention allows the user to blend in without detection.

The mirrored panels can be manufactured out of strong and lightweight acrylic, but other substances can be effective as well. The bottom of at least two of the panels of the invention are beveled in such a way as to allow the invention to lean slightly forward. This allows the mirrored panels to reflect their immediate surroundings and prevents flaring of the sun off of the mirror itself. The panels are connected together via durable and rigid hinges. These hinges allow the invention to be folded up and transported very easily from one location to the next and also facilitate easy storage. The back portion or side of the panels in painted a drab color or a camouflage color and is what is seen by any viewer when the invention is folded up.

A screw engagement portion between a pulley and a shaft is provided with a thread in a direction to increase the tightening torque when the pulley is driven. A breakable part broken by the axial tension produced when the tightening torque acting on the screw engagement portion is above a predetermined value, is also provided. The stress to break the breakable part is mainly a tensile stress. The tensile stress is substantially uniformly distributed in a cross section and, hence, the stress distribution of the breakable part can be relatively precisely predicted and analyzed. Consequently, the necessity of determining aspects of the breakable part, such as dimension, material, and the like, by trial and error is reduced. The breakable part can be broken without being subject to fatigue fracture.
