  • Patent number: 8702476
    Abstract: A machine for centrifugally shooting abrasives that shoots the abrasives by rotation of an impeller is provided. In the machine, the impeller comprises a pair of disc-shaped side plates that face each other at a predetermined distance and a plurality of blades disposed between the side plates in the radial direction of the side plates. The impeller is mounted on a hub that is fitted into an output shaft of an electric motor. The impeller is covered by a cover. The side liner and blades of the machine can be easily replaced. A side liner 3 that is U-shaped with the longer side facing downward is detachably attached to the inner side of the cover 2. The upper part of the side liner is divisible into two parts. The side liner protects the side wall of the cover 2 from the abrasives that are shot from the impeller. The side liner has a U-shaped cross section. The impeller 1 is fixed to the hub 4 by screwing a bolt 15 on the hub 4 from the inner sides of the side plates 11.

  • Patent number: 6835123
    Abstract: A centrifugally projecting apparatus is provided to allow a liner to be easily exchanged, to prevent projecting members from projecting through the connected parts of the liner components, and to prevent an impeller cover from being abraded. The apparatus comprises bolts 36, 36a and a fixing member (hook members 24, 24) to press first and second-side liner components 31, 31A, front and rear-side liner components 34, 34A, and a frame-liner component 37 against a ceiling-side liner component 39 so that they are fixed to each other.
