Abstract: A tentering apparatus for tensioning a sheet-like member, for example, a membrane used in an electrolyzer. The tentering apparatus includes four clamping assemblies arranged in a picture frame shape configuration with four corner members and a connector member for connecting the clamping assemblies to the corner members and adapted for tensioning the sheet-like member.

Abstract: An apparatus for distributing material flow having a distribution chamber defined by an upper receiving section and a lower discharge section integral therewith. The lower section is defined by a plurality of fixed downspouts arranged in a circle and communicating with each other at a portion of their upper end to form a cone with a common apex extending slightly into the receiving section at the central axis. A rotatable chute is positioned axially within the chamber to selectively distribute material flow to any one of the fixed downspouts.
