  • Patent number: 9092035
    Abstract: An internal pilot type pressure regulator 10 reduces a pressure of compressed air supplied to a primary port 11 and causes it to flow out to a secondary port 12. The pressure of air which flows into the secondary port 12 is set by rotating a handle 61 so as to adjust a spring force which is added to a pilot diaphragm 49. When a bonnet 47, into which the pilot diaphragm 49 and a pressure regulating member 59 are incorporated, is inserted in a pressure regulating adapter 28 and then rotated, an outward projecting portion 71 abuts on an inward projecting portion 73 and is mounted. When a lock member 77 is inserted between the outward projecting portion 71 and the inward projecting portion 73, the pressure regulating adapter 28 is locked.

  • Patent number: 8992648
    Abstract: This swirl flow generator is used to purify air by removing foreign matters such as liquid droplets and dusts contained in the air. A cylindrical blade portion (34) is arranged in a swirl flow generating chamber (24) through which the air flows in the axial direction, and the air flowed in the axial direction along the blades (35) is radially jetted toward inside of the cylindrical blade portion (34) to form swirl flow. The air supplied into the swirl flow generating chamber (24) in the axial direction is guided by the closing lid portion (38) toward the inflow-side end surface of the cylindrical blade portion (34). The air flow downward from the outside of the cylindrical blade portion (34) is prevented by the annular base portion (33).
