  • Patent number: 11286437
    Abstract: An object is to curb damage localized in a slag capturing portion caused when slag passes therethrough. A slag discharge device includes: a screen mesh (6) that is a porous member including a plurality of through-holes (6a) formed therein; and a crushing device (7) that crushes water-granulated slag (S2) captured by the screen mesh (6). The crushing device has a crusher head (12) that breaks, with a pressure, and thus crushes the water-granulated slag (S2), a hydraulic cylinder (13) that reciprocates the crusher head in a predetermined direction, a guide plate (14) that restricts movement of the crusher head caused by the hydraulic cylinder, and a plurality of crushing spaces (15) in which the water-granulated slag (S2) is crushed. A communication opening that causes the crushing spaces (15) to communicate with each other is formed in a partitioning wall guide plate (14a) of the guide plate.

  • Patent number: 9188169
    Abstract: A shift device has thrust pieces to change force in a radial direction to thrust when they swing relative to and contact with a hub. The thrust pieces respectively are fixed with holders each containing a ball and a spring. The springs elastically press the balls outwardly in the radial direction against the groove of the shift sleeve, pressing the radially inner surfaces of the thrust pieces on the guide surfaces of the hub through the holders to be configured in such a way that a clearance between the radially outer surfaces of the thrust pieces and the inner surface of the shift sleeve is ensured and the thrust pieces can swing being guided along the guide surfaces.
