  • Patent number: 6375173
    Abstract: A vibration-isolating apparatus and a metal stopper having an excellent and lasting reliability comprises an outwardly projecting stopper rubber, and a metal stopper fixed to a first fixture so as to surround the stopper rubber. The metal stopper has a first contact surface in parallel with a compression-direction-facing surface of the stopper rubber, a second contact surface in parallel with a radial-direction-facing surface of the stopper rubber and a third contact surface in parallel with a drawing-direction-facing surface of the stopper rubber, and a fourth contact surface in parallel with a circumferential-direction-facing surface of the stopper rubber. The third contact surface inclines at an angle range of 10°-50° with respect to a plane perpendicular to the compression and drawing directions, while an inner edge of the third contact surface projects radially inward from the second contact surface by not less than 10 mm so as not to contact with the vibration-isolating base body.

  • Patent number: 5862592
    Abstract: A cage for a roller bearing which is free of fretting and abnormal noise, which can be manufactured at low cost, and which can be easily mounted in the bearing. The cage is formed by bending a metal sheet having pockets into a ring shape, temporarily joining its ends, heat-treating the ring thus formed to remove stress, and separating the temporarily joined portion. Such a cage tends to rotate slower than the raceway members on the driving side of the bearing, making it possible to reduce fretting. Such a cage can be used under high-temperature conditions.

  • Patent number: 5816790
    Abstract: A heavy oil emulsified fuel combustion furnace is provided which prevents lowering of combustion efficiency due to water content in the fuel as well as prevents elevation of sulfuric acid dew point due to water content in the flue gas of the combustion furnace. In the apparatus a heavy oil emulsified fuel (102) is heated by a heater (110) using a heat pipe etc. and then is separated by a water vaporizer (120) into heavy oil (122) and vapor (121) consisting of steam and a light oil combustible gas. The heavy oil (122) is supplied to a burner port of the combustion furnace, such as a boiler etc. The vapor (121) is condensed by a condenser (140) to produce liquid (141) comprising a mixture of water and light oil. The liquid (141) is separated by an oily water separator (150) into oil (151) and water (152). The oil (151) is used as a fuel for an igniting torch of the combustion furnace 10 and the water (152) is used partially as cooling water (41) for an SO.sub.
