Patent number: 5648581Abstract: A method for polymerizing or copolymerizing .alpha.-olefin in a vapor phase condition by supplying to a reactor a catalyst composed of a solid catalyst component containing at least titanium and/or vanadium as well as magnesium and an organic aluminum compound wherein the current due to the electric charge transferred from polymer particles electrified to an electrode disposed at a position where sheet-like polymers will be produced in a reactor, as a result of contact of the polymer particles in the reactor with the electrode is determined, and the polymerization or copolymerization is carried out under such condition where the mean value of current is zero or a positive value. As a result, it becomes possible to prevent production of sheet-like polymers and to stably continue the reaction for polymerization.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1996Date of Patent: July 15, 1997Assignee: Nippon Petrochemicals Company, LimitedInventors: Kunimichi Kubo, Masahiro Niwa, Eiko Kobayashi, Mamoru Yoshikawa

Patent number: 5295788Abstract: A rotor assembly for a screw pump has a light alloy rotor main body having an axially extending central bore. A steel shaft is press-fitted into the central bore. A diametrically extending fixing pin is press-fitted through the rotor main body and the shaft. Friction forces between the rotor main body and the shaft are arranged to be larger on a discharge side of the rotor assembly than on a suction side thereof. The fixing pin is disposed at substantially a central position of entire friction forces in terms of their directions and magnitudes.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1992Date of Patent: March 22, 1994Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Katsunori Tajima, Mitsunori Arimura, Mamoru Yoshikawa, Tadashi Kimura

Patent number: 5203683Abstract: A screw pump having a pair of screw rotors meshed with each other and rotatably supported in a housing having an intake port provided at one end and a piston movably provided at the other axial end of the housing, which piston defines a discharge port in cooperation with the housing. The movement of the piston in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axes of the screw rotors enables the distance between a discharge starting position of the discharge port and the intake port to be varied, so that the internal compression ratio can be varied. This arrangement ensures that the size of the housing will not be increased and any disadvantage due to the difference in thermal expansion along the length of the housing can be overcome.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1991Date of Patent: April 20, 1993Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mamoru Yoshikawa, Taketoshi Satoh

Patent number: 4525548Abstract: Provided is a method for vapor phase polymerization of olefins. An olefin gas is fed into a horizontal cylindrical vessel having a lower curved surface corresponding to 30 to 180 degrees of the circumference of the vessel and extending substantially the length of the vessel formed by a perforated plate having a multiplicity of holes spaced at intervals in the range of from 0.5 to 50 mm, through said plate from an olefin feed chamber mounted below and covering the plate. A polymer catalyst is fed into the horizontal cylindrical vessel through a polymerization catalyst inlet port located in a portion of the vessel other than the lower curved surface formed by the perforated plate. The olefin is reacted in the presence of a catalyst with agitation to form polymer. Unreacted olefin is removed through a discharge port located in a portion of the vessel other than the lower curved surface formed by the perforated plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1982Date of Patent: June 25, 1985Assignee: Nippon Oil Company LimitedInventors: Kunimichi Kubo, Mamoru Yoshikawa, Motokazu Watanabe, Yasunosuke Miyazaki, Mituji Miyoshi
