  • Patent number: 6667445
    Abstract: A hydraulic weighing machine includes a base, a weighing platform, an expandable bag, an upright stand, and a vertically extending weight scale. The expandable bag is disposed on a load bearing side of the base, and supports the weighing platform thereon. The bag is filled with a liquid body. When pressure is applied on top of the weighing platform, the bag will be pressed, and the liquid body in the bag will be forced to flow into a transparent tube of the weight scale so that the liquid level in the latter rises accordingly. Thus, an indication of the weight value corresponding to the amount of the applied pressure can be obtained from graduations of the weight scale.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6309540
    Abstract: An apparatus for separating solids from a liquid includes a housing with two spaced-apart side walls, a plurality of parallel looped barrier members disposed side-by-side between the side walls for trapping solid matter, a circulating unit, a driving source unit for activating the circulating unit, and a plurality of moving plates mounted on the circulating unit and moved by the circulating unit along a looped path. The barrier members are spaced-apart from one another so as to define a plurality of looped pathways among adjacent pairs of the barrier members. Each moving plate extends into and moves along a respective one of the looped pathways when the driving source unit is activated so as to remove the solid matter from the barrier members.
