Patent number: 11555273Abstract: Refiner plate elements for a conical mechanical refiner include: a rotor plate element including at least one rotor plate segment having a feedstock inlet opening disposed at a first end of the rotor plate segment; and a rotor plate segment refining area disposed between the feedstock inlet opening and a second end of the rotor plate segment. The refiner plate elements may further include: a stator plate element including at least one stator plate segment having a stator plate segment refining area; and first and second attaching rails configured to couple to the stator plate segment to a stator support frame of the conical mechanical refiner. A separation between the first attaching rail and the second attaching rail that is not covered by the stator plate segment is configured to form a feedstock outlet opening.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: ANDRITZ INC.Inventors: Luc Gingras, Tom Berger, Yves Raymond, Long Nguyen

Patent number: 7823822Abstract: A bushing to assist in positioning a bolt in the bolt apertures of refining plates and disk. The bushing is a cylindrical sleeve that slides over the bolt shaft, before the bolt is inserted into the aperture. The bushing may be short relative to the length of the bolt and the aperture. The bushing fits between the bolt and aperture in the refining plate and/or disk, as the bolt engages the threads of the plate and/or disk. The bolt is centered in the aperture and the centered bolt ensures that the plate segment is properly positioned on the disk as the bolt fastens the segment to the disk.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2007Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Andritz Inc.Inventor: Yves Raymond

Patent number: 6305588Abstract: A releasable coupling for a suspension stud on a first face wall, especially of a mobile telephone. The coupling includes an orifice made in the wall and a device for axial retention of the stud, a coupling end of which is accommodated in the orifice in order to perform the coupling. The retention device includes a rod which passes through the orifice and is provided at its free end with a device for bearing axially on the perimeter of the orifice. The retention device can move, along a coupling path, between a coupling position in which the bearing device is applied against the wall and an uncoupled position in which the axial bearing device is disengaged from the wall. A device is furthermore provided for immobilizing the retention device with respect to the wall in its coupling position.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2000Date of Patent: October 23, 2001Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric FranceInventors: Stéphane Michel, Laurent Paul Joseph Lamballais, Jean-Yves Raymond Renard, Vincent Antoine Victor Belaïche

Patent number: 4648248Abstract: A setting for precious stones. The setting is an inverted angle member having a top lengthwise ridge. The two flanges of the angle member are cross-sectionally straight and make a 90.degree. angle. Each stone is secured in a closely-shaped cavity by a pair of tabs, one at either end of the cavity. Each tab rigidly overlies the crown portion of the stone adjacent one end of the cavity. The cavity is made through the ridge and extends equally through each flange. The tabs are integral with the ridge. An important part of the downwardly tapered lower portion of the stone is visible at the outside faces of the flanges.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1985Date of Patent: March 10, 1987Inventor: Yves Raymond
