  • Patent number: 8608455
    Abstract: A fluid rotary machine with a decreased footprint and a reduction in the number of parts. The fluid rotary machine has four heads wherein double-headed pistons are disposed inside cylinders in a crisscross arrangement. The rotational balance between rotational parts including the double-headed pistons is achieved only by first and second balance weights which are inserted and incorporated into both ends of a crank shaft coupled eccentrically to a shaft. The shaft is rotated for the double-headed pistons to linearly reciprocate in the cylinders. The fluid rotary machine has rotary valves for switching between the suction and discharge operations of the fluid for each cylinder chamber. The rotary valves are incorporated into a case to be coaxial and integrally rotatable with the shaft.

  • Patent number: 5970698
    Abstract: A rotary spinning ring structure for use on a spinning frame or the like comprises, as principal components, a stationary tube fixedly supported on a ring rail, a slide ring, a rotating tube assembly supported for rotation by the slide ring on the stationary tube, and a balancing mechanism incorporated into the rotating tube assembly. The rotating tube assembly comprises a rotating tubular body made of an antistatic synthetic resin material, a circular brake ring made of an antistatic synthetic resin material and joined to the rotating tubular body, and a dust cover made of an antistatic synthetic resin material and put on a middle portion of the rotating tubular body. Each of the antistatic synthetic resin materials forming the rotating tubular body, the brake ring and the dust cover is a mixture of a synthetic resin, and fibers, powder or flakes of a conductive material, such as carbon and has a low volume resistivity.

  • Patent number: 5918454
    Abstract: A spinning ring structure (10) for twisting a fleece into a yarn and taking up the yarn on a bobbin (82) comprises a stationary ring (20) fixedly mounted on a ring rail (74), a rotary ring (30) disposed for rotation about its own axis inside the stationary ring (20) coaxially therewith so as to surround the bobbin (82) disposed with the stationary ring (30). A traveler (50) is put on the rotary ring (30) so as to revolve along the circumference of the rotary ring, and a brake ring (60) is mounted on the rotary ring (30) and provided with a plurality of radial vanes (68) to which air applies resistance against the turning of the brake ring.

  • Patent number: 5881546
    Abstract: A spinning ring for winding a yarn fed from a raw yarn bobbin on a bobbin includes a stationary ring that is mounted on a ring rail. A rotary ring is disposed inside and concentrically with the stationary ring for rotation about the central axis thereof. The bobbin is disposed inside and concentrically with the rotary ring for rotation about the central axis thereof. A traveler is disposed on the rotary ring for revolution in the circumferential direction of the rotary ring to guide the yarn fed from the supply bobbin with respect to the bobbin. When the bobbin is rotated substantially at normal operating speed, the speed of the traveler and the rotary ring are rotated substantially in unison with each other relative to the stationary ring.

  • Patent number: 5856599
    Abstract: A technique of preparing oil from waste plastics, especially the one to which a mechanism of an extrusion molding machine is applied, is provided wherein an effective control of a decomposition process is conducted in order to effectively prevent the generation of carbon and to efficiently obtain recovered products having a desired composition. For this purpose, reactors 1a, 1b, and 1c having built in carrying means 3a, 3b, and 3c, respectively are used as connected in stages, in which reactors waste plastics are heated and decomposed into oil as carried. One or a series of reactors are used as a unit to form a melting zone and a decomposing zone in the carrying direction.

  • Patent number: 5829239
    Abstract: A spinning ring structure for use on a spinning frame comprises a stationary ring fixedly held in place, a rotary ring fitted in the stationary ring coaxially with the stationary ring so as to rotate about its center axis and provided with an annular flange at its upper end, a traveler put on the flange of the rotary ring for traveling along the flange to guide a yarn to a bobbin disposed coaxially with the rotary ring. Openings are formed through a neck portion of the rotary ring, whereby flies produced during the spinning operation by friction between the yarn and the traveler are discharged outside the spinning ring structure through the openings due to centrifugal force.
