  • Patent number: 8132336
    Abstract: Resin molding work is efficiently carried out in accordance with a consumption amount of resin pellets of a resin molding machine by sequentially supplying small amounts of dried resin pellets in short period of time. When changeover of a molded product is carried out, attached remaining resin pellets can be removed by simple work in a short period of time, thereby carrying out efficient changeover work. An interval of taking out dried resin pellets that are heated and dried in a decompressed state is shortened by sequentially moving a plurality of pellet containers that contain small amounts of resin pellets.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6843366
    Abstract: A curved conveyor is provided which includes at least a pair of supports arranged so that their axis lines mutually intersect at a desired angle, and an endless curve belt having a flat fan shape matching the angle which is supported on the respective supports so as to be able to run. An endless drive chain is formed along the outer circumference of the curved belt to be bendable in a running direction and in a direction orthogonal to the running direction by connecting multiple unit members to each other. Connecting members connect the unit members of the drive chain to the outer circumferential portions of the curved belt corresponding to the unit members, such that a driving force by the drive chain is applied to the outer circumferential side of the curved belt so as to run the curved belt in a curved manner at a desired angle.

  • Publication number: 20040118662
    Abstract: The present invention provides a curved conveyor which can avoid an excessive load intensively effecting the curved belt by applying a driving force from the outer circumferential portion of the curved belt for a conveying drive and thus can be improved in durability, and a conveyor which can be reduced in the number of components and thus can lower manufacturing costs.

  • Patent number: 6485285
    Abstract: A removal apparatus is provided which includes a travelling frame, first and second carriages provided on the travelling frame, first and second cross frames provided on the first and second carriages, first and second cross carriages provided on the first and second cross frames, first and second vertical units provided on the first and second cross carriages, and first and second chucking units secured to the first and second vertical units. In addition, a control unit is provided for synchronously controlling the movement of the first and second carriages, the first and second cross carriages, and the first and second vertical units so as to enable the first and second chucking units to be moved in three dimensions for removal of a molded product from a molding machine.
