  • Patent number: 4903462
    Abstract: An oil mister remover used in purifying polluted air containing oil mist generated in a factory or the like, composed of a main body having a suction hole, a ventilation chamber having an exhaust provided in the main body and a member having liquid discharger provided in the main body. The ventilation chamber is formed gradually larger in diameter toward the rotating direction of the fan, the inner edge of a suction guide for guiding the air into to the fan is curved so that the diameter may be larger than the fan and a drum having a rotary filter is provided in the main body. Multiple tiny holes are formed in the drum provided in the main body, and a curvature is formed beneath these tiny holes.

  • Patent number: 4773838
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for casting concrete elements from a concrete mix by slipforming molding which involves extruding the concrete mix onto a bed, generating pressure into the concrete mix by a first set of extruder members and by compacting the concrete by moving at least one of the movable mold walls in a direction approximately parallel to its plane. The concrete mix is tamped into a more compacted form by protrusions formed onto at least one of the movable mold walls and projecting into the mix. The method and the apparatus achieves a high degree of compaction in the concrete mix by an uncomplicated method and apparatus without generating a loud noise.

  • Patent number: 4734024
    Abstract: An apparatus for shaping a spherical body consisting of dough crust and a filling is provided. A continuously fed cylindrical body, consisting of dough crust and a filling, is constricted by at least three slidable members which form an opening or closes it. The members slide on each other so as to constrict the cylindrical body. The contact area of the members with the surface of the cylindrical body gradually decreases as the opening is closed, thereby constricting the cylindrical body and shaping the spherical body.
