Abstract:
A bubble separator includes a body with a generally cylindrical shape, an oil induction portion, a gas discharge portion with a generally cylindrical shape, an oil discharge portion, and an upper partition. The oil induction portion is provided on the body, and introduces bubble-containing oil to inside the body. The gas discharge portion is provided extending from a ceiling portion of the body, and discharges separated bubbles to outside the body. The oil discharge portion is provided on the body, and discharges separated oil to outside the body. The upper partition is provided extending from the ceiling portion, and is formed on a periphery of the gas discharge portion. According to the bubble separator of the present invention, the upper partition can prevent bubble-containing oil from directly blowing into the discharge hole of the gas discharge portion and discharging to outside the body together with separated gas.
Abstract:
An element replacement type filter accommodates an element assembly that includes a filter element within a casing formed from a first casing member and a second casing member which are mutually screwable by relative rotation, and provides an anti-loosening mechanism between the first casing member and the second casing member. The anti-loosening mechanism comprises a regulating portion that is provided on an outer peripheral side of the first casing member; and a leaf spring member made of metal that is provided elastically deformable in a radial direction of the second casing member, with a base end side thereof fixed to an outer peripheral side of the second casing member. The leaf spring member has a free end side that is provided with a contact portion, which contacts the regulating portion due to relative rotation of the first casing member and the second casing member.
Abstract:
A protector for holding a filter medium thereon is made of resin and composed of a plurality of pillar members. The pillar members are disposed in parallel with each other in a longitudinal direction thereof and forming a circular shape with intervals respectively between adjacent two pillar members. Accordingly, the protector can be easily manufactured by molding and can be easily scrapped after its use. The protector further has a positioning member for positioning the protector in a case. Accordingly, a number of parts in a filter device can be reduced, resulting in a decrease in man-hours for assembling the parts.
Abstract:
A device for providing a signal warning of a clogging of a dust filter. A pair of air flow speed sensors A and B are arranged downstream of two sections of a dust filter 1 arranged in an air duct 1, and the outputs of the sensors A and B are connected to a comparator 6 having an output connected to a warning device 7. An obstacle 3 is arranged upstream or downstream of one section of the filter 1. When the filter is new, the speed of the air flow detected by the sensor B without an obstacle is higher than that detected by the sensor A located downstream of the obstacle, but the speed of clogging at the section without an obstacle is much higher than that at the section located downstream of the obstacle, and thus, after continuous use, the air speed detected by the sensor B becomes equal to that detected by the sensor A. The values of the detected speeds are compared to determine a degree of clogging of the filter, and to issue a warning signal when needed.
Abstract:
A fluid filter includes a case in which an inflow path, an outflow path, and a drainage path are formed, a cap which is engaged with the case through axial rotation, a biasing device (a coil spring) which biases a filter element housed inside a casing constituted by the case and the cap toward the case side, a rotation restricting device (an abutting portion and a projecting portion) which restricts rotation of the filter element in a fastening direction when the cap is rotated relative to the case in the fastening direction, and a sealing member provided on an axial end surface side of the filter element, which seals the drainage path when the filter element is biased by the biasing device and rotation thereof is restricted by the rotation restricting device.

Abstract:
A drain structure for a fluid filter includes a cap internally forming a drain hole. The cap receives a valve member urged by an urging means in a direction, in which the valve member blocks the drain hole. Normally, the drain hole is blocked with a drain member. When fluid is drained from the drain hole, the drain member is removed from the drain hole, and a drain tool is inserted into the drain hole, so that the drain tool displaces the valve member in a direction, in which the drain hole is unblocked. The drain tool has a hooking portion that can hook to a hooked portion provided to the cap by axially rotating the drain tool inserted into the drain hole of the cap. Thus, the drain tool can be connected with the cap while the hooking portion is supported by the hooked portion.
Abstract:
An oil filter has a drain hole, which is internally blocked with a valve member. When oil remaining in the oil filter is drained, a drainpipe is inserted into the drain hole, so that the valve member is displaced and remaining oil is drained from the drain hole. This valve member has an annular recession to steadily support an upper end of the inserted drainpipe. Therefore, gripping force of the drainpipe is enhanced without decreasing draining performance. The drainpipe and the oil filter are connected with each other via a seal member that is provided to the oil filter. The drainpipe 80 has a removing means that holds at least a part of the seal member to pick the seal member off the oil filter, when the inserted drainpipe is detached from the drain hole. Thus, the seal member can be removed simultaneously with the drainpipe from the oil filter.
Abstract:
A slurry of suspended formation fiber and binder fiber is brought to pass through a suction unit to form a molded member. Longitudinally extending channel portions are formed on both inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the molded member, and a wall portion is formed to close one end of the channel portions of the inner peripheral surface. Further, opposite surfaces of the channel portion at the other end of the molded member are closed by pressing from outside and bonded by binder resin which is impregnated into the molded member.
