摘要:
An internally supported composite filter having a wire-like frame, two confronting sheets of filter media secured to the frame, a ring of adhesive at the center of the sheets secures their confronting faces together in a relatively uncompacted fashion, and a handle secured to the sheets proximate one of the corners of the frame which can be grasped by a workman to remove the filter from the mounting structure in a peel-away fashion.

An automatic mechanical brake adjuster for a walk-behind lift truck includes a lever (59) with two relatively pivoted parts (58,76) including a ratchet mechanism (96) therebetween. The ratchet mechanism (96) includes a ratchet wheel segment (77) and cooperating pawls (101-104). The brake adjuster also includes an extensible link (126) which determines the brake shoe back-off distance and cooperates with the ratchet mechanism (96) in effecting pivotal adjustment between the lever parts (58,76).

A counterweight link rod incorporates a counterweight lifting lug to provide a safe and easily usable means to lift a counterweight during erection or maintenance for positioning it with respect to a connection point with the wicket gate operating ring. The arrangement also provides a readily available permanent means for attaching an overhead crane hook to the wicket gate operating ring for stroking the gates during erection or maintenance. The arrangement also provides a means for operating the wicket gate operating ring when the operating ring servo-motors fail.

A common mounting base plate is secured to a turbine gallery floor and anchor a pair of servomotors which are connected to operate a wicket gate operator ring; the arrangement permits the servomotors to be angularly positioned to clear the gate ring counterweight and to allow the servomotors to operate in identical modes simultaneously--both push together or both pull together.

The bin unloader belt drive for a combine includes a clutching idler mechanism in which the start-up torque delivered by the belt (11) from a drive pulley (12) to a driven pulley (13) is limited by using a dampener (51) which retards the spring biased movement of a clutching idler pulley (21) from its drive disestablishing position to its drive establishing position.

A conduction limit protective arrangement for a power transistor switch regulated by a train of control pulses is disclosed which automatically changes the conduction limit as a function of the voltage, current, and temperature conditions to which the switch is subjected so that it is within its safe operating area limits at all times, thereby permitting the switch to carry maximum current while being fully protected at all times.

A calcining combustor for the suspension preheater of a rotary kiln cement manufacturing plant having a cooler for the clinker comprises an upright furnace vessel having an outwardly spiraling gas exhaust duct at its upper end leading to a preheater gas/meal separator and a mixing portion at its lower end; an inlet for hot combustion air from the cooler into the mixing portion; an inlet for cement meal from the preheater into the mixing portion downstream from the combustion air inlet to entrain the meal in the rising combustion air; and burners for injecting fuel into the air/meal stream downstream from the meal inlet to calcine the meal by heat released by burning of the fuel with the combustion air. The initial calcination temperature is a minimum because the combustion air atmosphere within the combustor is devoid of significant amounts of carbon dioxide and chlorine and alkali vapors typically present in kiln-off gases, and the endothermic calcination reaction absorbs heat energy to limit temperature rise within the combustor so that caking and formation of alkali and nitrogen oxide vapors is minimized. An alternative embodiment has an inlet for hot kiln-off gases into the furnace vessel at a point where substantial calcination has occurred so that both (a) calcining and (b) mixing of the calcined meal/air stream with the kiln-off gases to transfer heat energy thereto occur in a single vessel.

A thrust containment apparatus is disclosed for use with a pressurized rotary kiln gasifier. The thrust containment apparatus maintains stationary hoods mounted on both ends of the kiln shell in fixed positions by relieving the hoods of forces generated by high pressures within the kiln. The thrust containment device comprises braces mounted on the hoods on the sides remote from the kiln shell. Tie members, or tie rods, extending along the exterior of the kiln shell connect the braces. An expandable bellows is provided between one brace and its adjacent hood. As tie members deform through thermal and tensile expansion, the bellows accomodates the expansion while maintaining a gas-tight seal between the hood and the brace. Being of equal internal pressure as the kiln and having a diameter against the hood equal to the diameter of the seal connecting the hood to the kiln, the bellows relieves the hoods of all pressure forces and transmits these forces to the braces and tie rods thereby ensuring continuous stationary positioning of the hoods.
