  • Patent number: 8978898
    Abstract: A filter including a container and a basket which is contained in the container and has mounted thereto a bag-like filter element and filtering liquid to be processed by allowing the liquid to pass through the filter element. The filter includes an upper tubular section forming the upper part of the basket and having an upper end open, and an annular seal mounted inside the container and held between the upper tubular section and the container. The upper tubular section has a first fitting surface having an outer diameter decreasing downward. The seal has a second fitting surface having an inner diameter which decreases downward and engaging with the first fitting surface. When the seal receives force acting outward radially from the upper tubular section, compressive deformation of the seal is limited to a predetermined amount.

  • Patent number: 8840073
    Abstract: A leg structure supports in an upright position a container having a piping port in the bottom of the container. The leg structure is provided with fixed legs fixed or removably mounted to the container, a movable leg capable of moving relative to the fixed legs so as to approach and be separated in the horizontal direction from the fixed legs while supporting the container, and the connecting section for connecting the container and the fixed legs to each other such that the container is maintained upright relative to the fixed legs.

  • Patent number: 8763839
    Abstract: A pressure container is provided with a container body, a container lid, and a band coupling. The band coupling is provided with a retainer capable of engaging with the outer peripheries of a first flange section and a second flange section, and also with a tightening mechanism for tightening the retainer. The retainer has a first end section forming one end to which the tightening mechanism is connected, and also has a second end section forming the other end which is bent outward and faces the first end section when the retainer is tightened. The tightening mechanism is provided with a stopper rotatably mounted to the first end section of the retainer, and also with a pressing bolt engaged through thread with the stopper so as to be able to advance and recede and pressing the second end section to the first end section side with the retainer engaged with the first flange section and the second flange section.
