Patent number: 5823861Abstract: This invention relates to a spiral-flow barrel finishing machine having a cylindrical stationary metallic barrel equipped with a lining layer at a lower inside portion. A rotating barrel is equipped with a lining layer on a metallic rotational body and is loosely engaged with the lower part inside of the cylindrical stationary barrel so as to rotate freely. A constant clearance is kept between the inner wall of the stationary barrel and the outer wall of the rotating barrel, regardless of the temperature change and the moisture content change. A measure to allow for thermal expansion having a specific vertical width, properly corresponding to the vertical width of the clearance, is circularly arranged between the inner wall of the metallic stationary barrel and the outer wall of the lining layer on the metallic stationary barrel. This makes an allowance for thermal expansion of the lining layer on the stationary barrel toward wall side of the metallic stationary barrel.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1997Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Tipton Corp.Inventors: Hisamine Kobayashi, Katsuhiro Izuhara, Akihito Fujishiro

Patent number: 5797498Abstract: A magnetic separator for separating a magnetic substance such as metal parts or workpieces from a nonmagnetic substance such as abrasives used in a barrel finishing includes an infeed passage along which a mixture of the workpieces and the abrasives is conveyed. A rotary drum is rotated in a direction crossing the infeed passage, and a magnet is mounted in the rotary drum so that the magnetic substance is attracted to a circumferential surface of the rotary drum. The workpieces picked up onto the rotary drum are conveyed along an outfeed package, and a demagnetizer establishes an alternating field in the middle of the outfeed passage along a direction in which the magnetic substance is conveyed along the outfeed passage. A sweeping brush is located on the infeed passage in the vicinity of the rotary drum so as to scrape the surface of the workpieces attracted to the surface of the rotary drum to sweep off granular abrasives adherent to the surface of the workpieces.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1995Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Tipton Corp.Inventors: Hisamine Kobayashi, Katsuhiro Izuhara
