  • Patent number: 5518819
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a rubber vibration insulator comprising a rubber composition for a rubber insulator wherein at least one selected from unsaturated fatty acid amide and N-substituted fatty acid amide is contained. For this reason, friction coefficient can be greatly reduced in wide temperature range including low temperature range and high temperature range, not in a narrow temperature range near to a normal temperature. Furthermore, the above unsaturated fatty acid amide can be easily melted in a rubber compound so as to be mixed into a normal kneading operation resulting in a superior workability.

  • Patent number: 4891236
    Abstract: An externally cooled cylindrical vessel has a draft tube centered in the lower half thereof. A continuous circulation seeded with tartars crystals includes a fast downward flow through the draft tube and a slow upward flow outside the draft tube. The circulation induces crystal growth and the removal of tartars from the liquid. A coning zone is defined in the vessel above the draft tube. The slow upward flow moves toward the calming zone, facilitating classification of the crystalline matter which is reintroduced into the fact downward flow. The liquid product from which the tartars has been removed and which is collected in the upper section of the vessel is tapped off by an overflow port located near the top of the vessel.
