Patent number: 5482532Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing metal powders which is less likely permit variations in cooling rate, ensures rapid solidification at a great cooling rate and readily gives fine particles, and a production apparatus for the method. The method comprises injecting a cooling liquid into a cooling tubular body (1) along an inner peripheral surface thereof to form a cooling liquid layer (9) moving toward a cooling liquid discharge end of the tubular body (1) while swirling along the inner peripheral surface of the tubular body (1); supplying a molten metal (25) to a space (23) inside the cooling liquid layer (9); applying a gas jet (26) as directed toward the cooling liquid layer (9) to the molten metal (25) to divide the molten metal and supply the divided molten metal to the cooling liquid layer (9); and discharging the cooling liquid containing a metal powder solidified in the liquid layer (9) from the cooling liquid discharge end of the tubular body (1) to outside.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1994Date of Patent: January 9, 1996Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Naotsugu Isshiki, Hiroshi Izaki, Yosimitu Tokunaga, Syoichi Yoshino, Masanori Yoshino, Toshiyuki Aoki

Patent number: 5352267Abstract: A cooling liquid is injected into and supplied to a cooling tubular body along its inner periphery to form a cooling liquid layer flowing down the inner peripheral surface of the body while revolving. A molten metal is then injected into the cooling liquid layer from the inner peripheral side thereof to divide, rapidly cool and solidify the stream of molten metal with the cooling liquid layer and obtain a metal powder. Since the metal powder is continuously obtained upon flowing down the tubular body along with the cooling liquid, the liquid can be continuously removed from the powder by suitable means, and the power can be subsequently dried continuously.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1992Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Syoichi Yoshino, Hiroshi Izaki, Masanori Yoshino, Fumio Kasai, Yosimitu Tokunaga, Naotsugu Isshiki

Patent number: 4862856Abstract: In the evaporated fuel control system according to this invention, a plurality of evaporator lines that connect the fuel tank and the engine are provided with two canisters, that is, a first canister installed in the first evaporator line used only during fuel filling and a second canister installed in the second evaporator line. These two canisters are controlled in such a way that the first canister is communicated with the fuel tank only during fuel filling and that only when the vapor fuel can be purged into the engine, the first canister is communicated with the engine. This construction prevents the vapor fuel in the tank from leaking out into the open air when the fuel is supplied into the fuel tank. It also allows the evaporated fuel to be recovered for reuse. This construction also assures safety in the event of an accident or system failure.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1987Date of Patent: September 5, 1989Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Kyousuke Yokoe, Masanori Yoshino, Osamu Hokari, Nobuo Date
