Publication number: 20040007279Abstract: As the first object, the present invention intends to provide high-pressure composite pipes which show remarkable pressure resistance and optimum applicability in various uses and which can be economically manufactured in a light weight. As the second object, the present invention intends to provide a joining method which is capable of firmly joining the high-pressure composite pipes in a simple operation, firmly joining the high-pressure composite pipes by reinforcing the joint strength at the butt-fused area, and making a joint area adjustable to strain of the high-pressure composite pipes. To achieve these objects, a high-pressure composite pipe of the present invention comprises a pipe-shaped inner layer made of a synthetic resin, a reinforcing layer made of a stretched polyolefin resin sheet and wound on an external circumferential surface of the inner layer, and an outer layer made of a synthetic resin and disposed on an external circumferential surface of the reinforcing layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2003Publication date: January 15, 2004Applicant: SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Koji Yamaguchi, Mitsuhide Nogami, Yasuo Yamabe, Masanori Nakamura, Katsuo Matsuzaka, Takehiro Yamada, Satoshi Koma, Kenji Mizukawa, Hideki Sakakihara, Toshihide Nonaka

The winding direction of the reinforcing layer is oriented at a predetermined angle relative to the axis of the pipe. Between the inner layer and the reinforcing layer and between the outer layer and the reinforcing layer, adhesion layers having affinity to these layers are interposed.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2001Date of Patent: October 7, 2003Assignee: Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koji Yamaguchi, Mitsuhide Nogami, Yasuo Yamabe, Masanori Nakamura, Katsuo Matsuzaka, Takehiro Yamada, Satoshi Koma, Kenji Mizukawa, Hideki Sakakihara, Toshihide Nonaka

Patent number: 5918853Abstract: A vacuum valve includes a housing having an operating chamber, a plunger provided in the housing; and a self-lubricating rolling diaphragm provided between the plunger and the housing. The rolling diaphragm may have a tapered form. A vacuum valve further includes a valve rod connected to the plunger and penetrating the housing to connect with a valve body. A self-lubricating shaft seal comes into contact with the valve rod to provide an airtight seal between the housing and the valve rod.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1996Date of Patent: July 6, 1999Assignee: Seikisui Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuo Yamabe, Tetsushi Ohtsuka

Patent number: 5615701Abstract: A vacuum control valve controls the removal of sewage or other liquid removed from a tank by a vacuum discharge pipe. The control valve uses the amount of liquid in the tank, the atmospheric pressure, and the vacuum pressure of the vacuum discharge pipe to open or close a pipe communicating section which attaches the vacuum discharge pipe to a suction pipe disposed within the tank. When the pipe communicating section is opened, the liquid is removed from the tank via the suction pipe and the vacuum discharge pipe. When the tank is emptied, a damping diaphragm allows for decompression of pressure around its peripheral portion to prevent excessive suction. An opening time adjusting valve automatically self-adjusts to control the time period for a single suction activity based on the vacuum pressure inside the vacuum discharge pipe.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1994Date of Patent: April 1, 1997Assignee: Sekisui Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuo Yamabe, Tetsushi Ohtsuka

Patent number: 5327937Abstract: A branched valve includes a main flow passage and a branch flow passage provided in a main body, a weir provided between the main and branch flow passages, and a valve disc which can contact with and come off from the weir and which selectively connects and disconnects the main and branch flow passages, wherein a branch flow entrance wall of the branch flow passage integrated with the weir has either a flat surface or a convex surface. The outer wall of the branch flow exit of the main flow passage may rise vertically from the outer wall of the main flow passage, and the side wall of the weir is located approximately on the center line of the main flow passage. The branch flow passage may be provided so that the center line thereof is located higher than the center line of the main flow passage. The valve disc may be a diaphragm.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1993Date of Patent: July 12, 1994Assignee: Sekisui Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigenobu Kato, Yasuo Yamabe
