  • Patent number: 8408354
    Abstract: An all terrain vehicle includes a steering shaft coupled to a handle; a power steering device including an input shaft coupled to the steering shaft, and an output shaft driven to rotate together with the input shaft, the power steering device being positioned between right and left front wheels in a rightward and leftward direction; a link unit for coupling the output shaft to each of the right and left front wheels, the link unit receiving a rotation of the output shaft and changing a direction of the front wheels; and a stopper disposed to face the output shaft with a clearance between the stopper and at least a left portion and a right portion of an end portion of the output shaft.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5944951
    Abstract: A method for reusing spent gas from an ozone bleaching reactor includes steps for removing lint from the spent gas, compressing it, passing it through a reactor in which hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide are destroyed by oxidation, and cooling the gas. Injecting the gas together with compressed air into a mist separator for removal of any mist from the gas and then passing the gas through a pressure swing adsorption device in which nitrogen, carbon dioxide, trace water vapor, and other trace elements may be removed by adsorption on a molecular sieve material. The recycled gas is fed to an ozone generator and from there to an ozone/pulp bleaching reactor. By appropriate selection and layering of molecular sieve materials in the pressure swing adsorption device, it is possible to provide selective removal of a variety of gaseous elements from a gas stream.

  • Patent number: 5695604
    Abstract: A method for reprocessing an ozone-containing gas present in a pulp bleaching plant comprising the steps of supplying the ozone-containing gas to a scrubber and reducing the ozone concentration of the gas as the gas flows through the scrubber. The step of reducing comprises the steps of supplying an alkaline medium to the scrubber and flowing the ozone-containing gas in countercurrent relationship with the alkaline medium within the scrubber so as to provide intimate contact between the ozone-containing gas and the alkaline medium, thereby converting the ozone-containing gas into a substantially ozone-free gas. The alkaline medium may comprise one of the following: a sodium hydroxide solution; white liquor; post oxygen stage filtrate; weak black liquor; or filtrate from an Eo stage of the pulp bleaching plant. The method further comprises the step of separately discharging the ozone-containing gas and the alkaline medium from the scrubber.
