  • Patent number: 9358724
    Abstract: There is provided a method for producing a chamber frame for a dialyzer, which is readily produced, has a stable quality, is inexpensive and is excellent in sealing property and heat resistance. A cut frame 1 is set on an unshown table of an impulse welder 30, distributors 13 are fitted into communicating passage 9 and communicating passages 11, and a net 15 is positioned so as to cover a central opening 3. Welded portions A and B, and the welded portions C and D are subjected to impulse welding. Mounting of the net 15 as a spacer and mounting of the distributors 13 are carried out simultaneously by a single pressing operation. After that, the welded portions of the net are deburred, and correction work is performed on defects.

  • Publication number: 20140231261
    Abstract: A clamping device for a dialyzer includes a holding member having a supply port and a discharge port for permitting a liquid to be treated to flow through the desalination chambers and the concentration chambers; a clamping member for clamping the holding member by a certain clamping pressure; a lattice structure having a contact portion configured to be brought into contact with an electrode frame or be brought into contact with an electrode frame through a certain plate-shaped member such that the clamping member clamps the electrode frame, the chamber frames and the exchange membranes through the contact portion by tightening the clamping members; and the lattice structure having a pitch width of at least 10 mm and at most 50 mm.

  • Patent number: 3992296
    Abstract: A hemispherical, transparent cover is provided in which a bellows having substantially the same hemispherical configuration is provided. A liquid having a different color than that of the bellows is filled between said transparent cover and the bellows whereby a difference in color may be perceptible from the outside of the transparent cover, depending on the pressure differential between the inlet side and outlet side of a strainer caused by clogging of its filter.
