  • Patent number: 8079200
    Abstract: A bag transport and tilt-correction device for a system for, for instance, manufacturing bags with diagonal spouts, the device including openable and closeable gripping members, an air chuck that opens and closes the gripping members, a reciprocal movement mechanism that reciprocates the gripping members between the bag receiving position and the bag hand-over position, and a reciprocal swing mechanisms that swing the gripping members within the vertical plane along the width direction of the gripped bags. The gripping members are moved together with a reciprocal moving body, which is part of the reciprocal movement mechanisms, and attached to the bottom edge of swing levers, which are part of the reciprocal swing mechanism and operated by a cam during the reciprocal movement process, so as to swing together with it. The tilt of the bag is corrected by the swing motion of the gripping members.

  • Patent number: 7854962
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a processing system that can supply a material gas produced inside a material reservoir tank into a processing apparatus while generating almost no pressure loss. The processing system has a processing apparatus including a gas injection injector for injecting a specific material gas into a processing vessel in order to provide specific processing to an object to be processed W, the material gas being produced from a metallic compound material M with low vapor pressure; and a gas supply system for supplying the specific material gas to the gas injector, the gas injector is a shower head portion and the gas supply system provides: a gas passage extending upwardly from the showerhead portion; a material reservoir tank attached to the upper-end portion of the gas passage for containing the metallic compound material therein; and an open/close valve for opening/closing the gas passage.

  • Publication number: 20090151639
    Abstract: A gas processing apparatus 1 includes a processing container 2 for applying a processing to a wafer W while using a processing gas, a mount table 5 arranged in the processing container 2 to mount the wafer W, a shower head 22 arranged corresponding to the wafer W on the mount table 5 to discharge the processing gas into the processing container 2 and exhausting means 132 for exhausting the interior of the processing container 2. The shower head 22 has first gas discharging holes 46 arranged corresponding to the wafer W mounted on the mount table 5 and second gas discharging holes 47 arranged around the first gas discharging holes 46 independently to discharge the processing gas to the peripheral part of the wafer W. Thus, with a uniform gas supply to a substrate, it is possible to perform a uniform gas processing.

  • Patent number: 4362752
    Abstract: A product of fish meat paste simulating shrimp, prawn or lobster, prepared by mixing 1 part by weight of fish meat paste and 0.2 to 2.5 parts by weight of edible fibrous material having a three-dimensional reticulate structure, kneading the mixture and forming the kneaded mixture into pieces of a predetermined shape and size. The fibrous material may be replaced by 0.4 to 2.0 parts by weight of edible fibers of less than 0.5 mm in diameter. The edible fibrous material or fibers incorporated into the fish meat paste impart to the product a texture which gives a particular oral sensation as if real shrimp, prawn or lobster were being eaten.
