Abstract: In a local cart traveling system, a frame track includes first and second metal rails each with an L-shaped cross section and facing each other. A local cart is within the frame track, and includes a first electricity receiving tire and a second electricity receiving tire to travel on horizontal travel surfaces of the rails. A voltage supplier supplies an AC voltage to the travel surfaces, so that the first metal rail and a first electricity receiving tire define a first capacitor and the second metal rail and the second electricity receiving tire define a second capacitor. The local cart includes a power receiver to receive AC power, and a travel motor that receives power after the AC power is rectified. The frame track includes a connecting plate as an electrical insulator covering portions of the surfaces of vertical walls of the first metal rail and the second metal rail.

Abstract: A sedimentation apparatus for precipitating and separating suspended solids and coagulated flocs in a liquid to be treated, so as to clarify the liquid. The sedimentation apparatus comprises a mixing chamber secured within a sedimentation tank, for mixing and stirring the liquid and an additive; and a rotary support of a distributor, functioning as a bottom of the mixing chamber, rotatable about the center axis of the mixing chamber. The bottom portion of the rotary support is formed with an opening. The sedimentation apparatus has a blade for discharging from the opening the precipitate deposited on the bottom of the rotary support. As a consequence, the precipitate can be prevented from accumulating in excess in the rotary support.

Abstract: A material pallet (5) is disposed on a lower portion on a front side of a main body frame (3), a product pallet (7) which is capable of moving up and down is disposed on a lower portion on a rear side of the main body frame, a workpiece carrier (19) which has absorption pads (27) and is capable of moving up and down is disposed above the material pallet (5) in the frame, a loader (15) for moving the workpiece carrier to the plate member working machine is disposed, an unloader (31) is disposed so as to be capable of moving to the plate member working machine, a moving support table (33) which reciprocates between a position above the material pallet and a position above the product pallet (7) is disposed, a moving clamp (37) and a support clamp (35) are disposed respectively on front and rear sides in the position above the product pallet, and a control device (45) for controlling the respective units is disposed.

Abstract: A loading and unloading device for sheet metals for loading and unloading sheet metals to and from a sheet metal working machine, comprises: a chucking unit lifting a sheet metal by chucking the sheet metal; a loading and unloading clamping unit disposed adjacent to the chucking unit, the loading and unloading clamping unit moving in a direction of approaching to and leaving from the sheet metal working machine; and a sheet metal carrying unit carrying the sheet metal lifted by the chucking unit to the position of the loading and unloading clamping unit.

Abstract: A sheet material loading and unloading apparatus comprises: a frame having a lower frame and an upper frame attached to the lower frame in such a manner as to freely move to a vertical direction; a vertically movable lifter disposed within the frame; a truck going in and out over the lifter; a plurality of pallets supporting a material or a processed product; a plurality of escapable loading positioning members being disposed in the upper frame; a plurality of escapable material supporting members being disposed in the upper frame; and a carriage being disposed within the frame.

Abstract: A coagulating sedimentation processing apparatus comprising a sedimentation tank, a mixing chamber rotatably supported within the sedimentation tank, means for supplying suspension and additive to the mixing chamber, a mixer arranged within the mixing chamber for stirring mixed liquid of the suspension and the additive, and a plurality of distributors extending radially from the mixing chamber and provided with a plurality of jetting ports which open downwardly, wherein strip-like baffle plates are fixedly mounted respectively below the distributors so as to be opposed against the jetting ports. The mixing liquid jetted downwardly from the jetting ports of the distributor impinges against the baffle plate and is buffed so that its velocity head is reduced. Accordingly, there is no case where turbulent flow is generated by the mixing liquid which is jetted to the concentrated sludge layer which is formed in a bottom of the sedimentation tank.
