  • Patent number: 11517057
    Abstract: The mask of the present disclosure is adapted to be worn on a face including a main body that covers at least a portion of the face, and the main body includes a resin film having air permeability through the thickness thereof. The resin film is a non-porous film having through holes extending through the thickness of the film. The diameter of the through holes is 0.01 ?m or more and 30 ?m or less. The density of the through holes in the resin film is 10 holes/cm2 or more and 1×108 holes/cm2 or less. The mask of the present disclosure is completely different in structure from conventional masks, has high flexibility in the design of various properties such as shielding ability, air permeability, transparency, and sound permeability, and is capable, for example, of exhibiting high shielding ability, high air permeability, high transparency, and high sound permeability.

  • Patent number: 8177889
    Abstract: A gas removal device 1 includes a decompression chamber 2 with an inlet 11 and an outlet 12 through which a liquid to be degassed flows therein and thereout, and a degassing element 5 that is accommodated in the decompression chamber 2 while having one end connected to the inlet 11 and another end connected to the outlet 12, and that allows the liquid to be degassed entering into the inlet 11 to pass through the degassing element 5. The degassing element 5 includes a tube bundle 15 composed of a plurality of flexible gas-permeable tubes 151, and a tying member 16 tying the plurality of gas-permeable tubes 151 to form the tube bundle 15. The tube bundle 15 is bent in a shape of coil with multiple turns in such a manner that a portion tied by the tying member 16 is included in a bent portion BP.

  • Patent number: 7708811
    Abstract: A degassing apparatus is provided that accomplishes the connecting of a degassing element and a connecting member and/or the joining of a vacuum (reduced-pressure) chamber and the connecting member without using a fastening structure screwed together with the connecting member. A degassing apparatus includes: a reduced-pressure chamber having a through port for flowing a degassing target liquid therethrough; a degassing element, accommodated in the chamber, for passing the liquid therethrough; and a tubular connecting member joined to the chamber at the through port. The degassing element includes a gas-permeable tube, for passing the liquid therethrough, being covered with a joint piece at an end portion of the gas-permeable tube. The degassing element is fixed to the chamber by heat sealing the connecting member and the joint piece together.

  • Patent number: 7686867
    Abstract: A degasifier is provided in which the deterioration in sealing property (deterioration in airtightness) is prevented while sealing members to be placed between a container and covers that compose a decompression chamber can be omitted. A degasifier includes a decompression chamber provided with a container and covers, and a gas-permeable tube. The container is a tubular body extending along the central axis. The covers seal the openings of the ends of the tubular body. The gas-permeable tube is contained in the decompression chamber in such a manner that a liquid to be degassed that has entered from the outside of the decompression chamber flows therethrough and the liquid to be degassed that has flowed therethrough flows out of the decompression chamber.
