Abstract: An intended purpose of this invention is to realize a gear pump suitable for delivery of high-pressure and high-viscosity fluids by using helical gears meshing with each other. For this purpose, the gear pump includes introduction paths for introducing the fluid from a discharge side toward shaft end sides of gear shafts to apply shaft ends of the gear shafts with fluid pressures counterbalancing axial thrusts produced by the helical gears.

Abstract: An intended purpose of this invention is to realize a gear pump suitable for delivery of high-pressure and high-viscosity fluids by using helical gears 2 and 3 meshing with each other. For this purpose, the gear pump includes introduction paths 121 and 131 for introducing the fluid from a discharge side toward shaft end sides of gear shafts 21 and 31 to apply shaft ends of the gear shafts 21 and 31 with fluid pressures counterbalancing axial thrusts produced by the helical gears 2 and 3.

Abstract: A gear pump applicable for feeding a high-pressure and high-viscosity fluid, such as a molten resin is provided. In the gear pump 100, the fluid is fed from a suction port side to a discharge port side by the rotation of gears. The gears are formed in a pair and meshing with each other. The gears are double-helical gears having a one-point continuous contact tooth profile. For the gears, the ratio D/B of the outer diameter D and the tooth width B are set to 1.1 to 1.15. When the ratio D/B is equal to or smaller than 1.1, a bearing may be damaged due to an excessively increased bearing load. On the other hand, when the ratio D/B is larger than 1.15, in accordance with an increase in the overall size of the pump external dimension, the mechanical efficiency is lowered, and the overall efficiency is also lowered.

Abstract: A moving unit provides a wheel that supports a body portion in a condition that the body portion can be moved, a supporting member that is mounted at a position that does not interfere with rotation of the wheel and an arm that is mounted at a position shifted from an axis of the supporting member and that can move a distal end of the arm toward a direction away from the axis of the supporting member by being driven with the supporting member as a foothold and is so arranged that the body portion can be lifted up together with the wheel by grounding the distal end of the arm when the moving unit is transported, the crank and the arm are incorporated around an axle of the wheel in a compact state, which makes it possible to operate the moving unit stably.

Abstract: A continuous treatment apparatus is provided that resists thermal shock and treatment gases and correctly transfers treated objects. An urging mechanism 9 that urges a treated object w is adapted to transfer a treated object w by reciprocating rack member 91 using a pinion 92 in separating compartments 6 between treatment chambers 1, 2, 3, and 4. This arrangement eliminates the need to install rack members 91 and pinion 92 in a severe atomsphere.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to minimize contamination in a furnace comprising placing a case to accommodate material to be heat treated in the furnace, forming a gas flow into the case from inside of the furnace, heating the work maintained in the case to evaporate organic matters contained in the work, evacuating the vapor containing the organic matter to the outside of the furnace through an internal evacuation duct provided through the furnace, liquefying the vapor containing the organic matters under reduced pressure by introducing same into a liquefying trap and thereafter continuously collecting these liquefied organic matters.
