  • Patent number: 4900338
    Abstract: A gas separation/extraction apparatus comprises a tank for separating and extracting a specific gas element from a gas mixture, the tank containing an adsorbent for adsorbing the gas element from the gas mixture, a pump having a cylinder and a piston housed therein, the pump being adapted to alternately pressurize and decompress the inside of the tank as the piston reciprocates, a first three-way solenoid valve connected between an exhaust port of the tank and a suction port of the pump, a second three-way solenoid valve connected between a discharge port of the pump and the suction port of the tank, and a pressure balance unit connected between the second three-way solenoid valve and a suction port of the tank, and adapted gradually to eliminate a difference in pressure between the tank and the pump as the tank is switched from a decompressed state to a pressurized state.

  • Patent number: 4577626
    Abstract: A massager is composed of a linear compressor having a piston reciprocated by force of electromagnetic attraction to produce compressed air at a safe pressure with a relatively small difference between the rated pressure and the maximum pressure, a distributor for allowing the compressed air fed from the compressor to be selectively discharged therefrom and a bag having a plurality of air tight sections which are successively expanded by receiving the compressed air fed from the distributor.

  • Patent number: 4269797
    Abstract: A bubble generator is comprised of a bubble plate and an adjuster plate slidably coupled to each other, the former being provided with parallel small bubble holes rows and the latter with parallel small slot rows, large slot rows and large bubble hole rows. Mutual sliding between the plates allows three different modes of bubble generation at user's free choice.

  • Patent number: 4262374
    Abstract: A bubble wash unit is provided with a wash basin for filling water, a stand assembly disposed to the bottom of the wash basin via bayonet coupling, and a bubble assembly disposed to the wash basin via snap coupling while astriding the upper edge of the wash basin in order to pneumatically connect an easily disassembable bubble disc placed on the inside bottom of the wash basin to a compressor suspensibly held within the stand assembly. Easily disassembable construction via bayonet or snap coupling enables complete protection of the compressor against wetting, easy transportation and handling of the unit, and easy replacement and/or cleaning of mechanical elements. A suspensible support successfully damps vibration of the compressor.
