  • Patent number: 7396462
    Abstract: A filtering device includes: a fluid-collecting tube; a plurality of positioning trays sleeved around the fluid-collecting tube and stacked one above the other; and a plurality of membranes alternating with the positioning trays. Each of the membranes is sandwiched between an adjacent pair of the positioning trays. Each of the positioning trays includes first and second engaging members. Each adjacent pair of the positioning trays are coupled to each other and are rotatable relative to each other between a first relative position and a second relative position. The first engaging member of each of the positioning trays is engageable with the second engaging member of an adjacent one of the positioning trays.

  • Patent number: 7267236
    Abstract: A water treatment device includes a container, a longitudinal water collecting tube, a filter unit, and a plurality of longitudinal water jet tubes. The longitudinal water collecting tube is mounted within the container, and has a tube wall formed with a plurality of water inlet slots. The filter unit includes a stack of alternately disposed filter membranes and rotatable blade scrapers inside the container. Each of the filter membranes and rotatable blade scrapers has a central hole for extension of the longitudinal water collecting tube therethrough. The longitudinal water jet tubes are provided around the filter unit, and are substantially parallel to the longitudinal water collecting tube. Each of the longitudinal water jet tubes has a longitudinal slit facing toward the filter unit.
