  • Patent number: 11969675
    Abstract: An inline-type strainer including a drain line and a screen configured to be attachable to and detachable from a housing is provided. A screen is supported to be attachable to and detachable from a lid. A lid coupling mechanism that couples a housing and the lid when the lid is attached to the housing is provided between a bottom surface of the housing facing the filter chamber and a lower end of the lid. A lower discharge flow path is formed in a lower coupling element on a side close to the housing constituting the lid coupling mechanism, and an upper discharge flow path is formed in the upper coupling element on a side close to the lid constituting the lid coupling mechanism. When the lid is attached to the housing, a coupling state is established between the upper and lower coupling elements, and the upper and lower discharge flow paths communicate with each other, and thus a drain line is constructed.

  • Patent number: 11137083
    Abstract: There is provided an angle type check valve which enables simple and quick replacement operations of a valve body and a valve seat without releasing a piping coupled state and has excellent maintainability. The angle type check valve according to the present invention includes: a valve box main body which is provided with an inflow port opened on a lower side, an outflow port opened on a lateral side, and an access hole opened on an upper side, and in which a valve chamber that has a bent shape is formed; a lid body which seals the access hole; a valve seat which is provided with a valve port; a valve body which opens and closes the valve port; and a hinge mechanism which supports the valve body. As a valve unit, the valve seat, the valve body, and the hinge mechanism are integrally assembled so as to be made into a unit part. The valve unit is attached to and detached from a unit fitting portion in the valve box main body.

In the angle type check valve according to the present invention, as a valve unit, a valve seat, a valve body, and a hinge mechanism are integrally assembled so as to be made into a unit part. The valve unit is attachable to and detachable from a unit fitting portion in the valve box main body. A gripping member is provided on the valve seat. As a result, access to the valve unit attached to the unit fitting portion through the access hole becomes remarkably easier. Therefore, a maintenance operator can perform a fitting operation and a removal operation of the valve unit to and from the unit fitting portion quickly with high work efficiency.
