Patent number: 10731923Abstract: A furnace includes a tank having outer and inner walls defining a closed canal to be filled with molten metal continuously circulating along the canal. The canal includes at least one heating area having a heating component for transferring energy to the molten metal thus overheating it; at least one loading area for loading metal or metallic waste into the molten metal; a melting/treatment area for receiving the overheated molten metal and material dragged on its surface. The overheated molten metal transfers its exceeding energy to the material, causing its melting/treatment. The furnace has a central hollow delimited by the inner wall and a driving component within the hollow, having a rotor with at least one magnet body and coupled to a motor and configured to rotate upon activation of the motor, generating a magnetic field capable of causing circulation of the molten metal in a continuous and cyclical manner.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: DIGIMET 2013 SLInventor: Luis Cobos

Publication number: 20150298203Abstract: A molding method, equipment for carrying out said method and mold obtained by means of said method are disclosed. The method comprises obtaining at least two semi-molds (23, 24), wherein each semi-mold (23, 24) is obtained outside the axis of advance (3) by sand blowing by means of horizontal molding on a pattern plate (15, 16) which is located horizontally during said molding, said pattern plate (15, 16) defining an impression on one face of each semi-mold (23, 24). The method comprises rotating 90° and vertically facing said at least two semi-molds (23, 24) to one another by the faces incorporating the impression to define a cavity (26) which can be filled with the molten material of the part to be obtained.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2011Publication date: October 22, 2015Inventors: Luis COBOS JIMENEZ, Francisco RODRIGUEZ VAZQUEZ, Enrique IPINAZAR ALONSO

Patent number: 8920532Abstract: The present invention describes an inoculation process for inoculating a nucleating additive to a cast iron alloy in a pouring distributor by means of using a transferred arc plasma torch, with an anode partially immersed in the cast iron alloy and a cathode located on the surface of said alloy, the anode or the cathode or both comprising graphite, preferably synthetic crystalline graphite, which supplies said nucleating additive to the iron alloy. The invention thus describes an inoculation device useful for carrying out the inoculation process.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Fundacion Tecnalia Research & InnovationInventors: Luis Cobos Jimenez, Francisco Rodríguez Vázquez, Jose Luis Oncala Avilés, Pedro Carnicer Alfonso

Patent number: 8357223Abstract: This invention relates to a waste treatment furnace and method comprising: Generating a molten metal bed, which moves in a forward direction, such as to define a closed circuit in a cyclical and continuous manner, the surface of said bed comprising at least one essentially-slag-free segment. Loading waste onto the aforementioned essentially-slag-free segment, the waste being dragged by the molten metal bed such that it floats in the mentioned forward direction. Retaining the waste on the surface of the molten metal bed as it moves in the mentioned forward direction. Treating the waste under the effect of the constant and continuous heat exchange generated by the movement of the molten metal bed beneath the waste retained thereon.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Fundacion Tecnalia Research and InnovationInventor: Luis Cobos Jimenez

Patent number: 5860578Abstract: A paper dispenser with a rear part fastenable to a wall on which a paper roll is supported and with a front part articulated closed over the rear part. A roller around which the dispensing paper is wrapped such that rotation of that roller moves the paper off the paper roll. A base part supported on the front part of the dispenser at the roller defines a slot with the roller through which the paper passes. A knife supported on the base part cuts the paper as it is pulled out of the dispenser. A pinion on the roller is rotated by a rack that is supported on the frame and that is movable by a lever projecting out of the front part, such that movement of the lever moves the rack to move the pinion to move the roller to move paper off the roll and dispense it.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 1997Date of Patent: January 19, 1999Assignee: Jofel Industrial, S.A.Inventor: Jose Luis Cobos Laguna
