  • Temporary placement structure for sub cover
    Patent number: 10232803
    Abstract: Groove formation portions that define insertion grooves are located in two opposing inner sides of an opening of a main cover. Engagement shafts are located on side portions of the sub-cover that oppose the inner sides. The engagement shafts are insertable into the insertion grooves from an outside and have a thickness that is larger than a groove width of the insertion grooves. The groove formation portions are elastic and deformable to allow insertion of the engagement shafts when the engagement shafts are inserted from the outside. The groove formation portions elastically return to their original forms after insertion of the engagement shafts to engage the engagement shafts and restrict separation of the engagement shafts in a reverse direction. The groove formation portions support the sub-cover to allow the sub-cover to open while engaged with the engagement shafts.

  • Method and apparatus for sintering operation
    Patent number: 5223019
    Abstract: A sintering method, which includes igniting a layer of raw materials and providing a downwardly directed air suction is improved by applying a magnetic field to the materials for which a predetermined amount of sintering has been completed in the upper region of the layer of raw materials. The sintering is continued while a magnetic floating force is applied to such sintered cakes. An apparatus for carrying out the method is provided.
