In a closed compressor provided with a ball joint, there was needed a structure easy to assemble and capable of sufficiently supplying the lubricating oil to a ball joint section in order to ensure smooth sliding between a ball and a ball seat. The closed compressor is provided with a ball joint section. In the ball joint section, flat cut portions are formed in the outside diameter of the ball of the connecting rod, parallel with the end face of a ring. Also a groove is formed for insertion of ...

A hermetic compressor is equipped with a suction muffler including: a muffling space having two rooms; a communication space to communicate these two rooms with each other; a first communication passage to communicate a movable valve with the muffling space and extending to an opening into the muffling space; and a second communication passage to communicate an enclosed container with the muffling space and extending to an opening into the muffling space. The openings into the muffling space fro...

In a hermetic compressor for use on an air-conditioning unit as well as a refrigerating unit such as a refrigerator and a showcase, there is disclosed a constitution designed to provide a silently operated hermetic compressor that has an intake muffler readily assembled thereon. The hermetic compressor including a substantially disk-like elastic member disposed between the intake muffler at an outlet thereof and a cylinder head is provided, in which an outlet orifice of the intake muffler consta...

With conventional closed kneaders, the temperature of the kneaded material remains high at the end of primary kneading because insufficient cooling is made in the interior part of the kneaded material, making it necessary to either provide cooling time between the primary and secondary kneading or to transfer materials to another kneader after the end of primary kneading for the secondary kneading. This has constituted an obstruction to productivity. In view of such problems, a closed kneader is...

A closed battery which is capable of rapidly releasing the internal pressure there while simultaneously disconnecting the current to prevent the internal temperature of the battery from rising and causing the battery to explode. Thus, when the internal pressure of the closed battery is elevated due to a short circuit, overcharge, reverse charge, or the like, internal gas in the battery can be safely discharged and the battery prevented from bursting.

A closed container composed of identical separable parts each of one-piece plastic construction. Each part has a rectangular base, an upright rear wall, and upright side walls cut diagonally or on the bias. The top and front of each part is substantially open so that it may be used independently of the other part for display purposes. When one of the parts is turned end for end, superposed over the other part and lowered relative thereto, snap-type connectors engage to hold the two parts in asse...

A closed compressor includes a closed vessel made of steel and a vapor-liquid separator connected to the closed vessel. The closed vessel and the vapor-liquid separator have a discharge steel pipe and a suction steel pipe, respectively, each of which has a hexagonal portion and a threaded portion for connection with an aluminum pipe. The closed compressor of this construction is suited for use in an automotive air conditioner.

An injection mold apparatus has multiple injection zones, each zone having at least one heater and at least one temperature sensor generating a temperature indicating signal. A power source provides power to the heaters. A controller controls the temperature of at least some of the zones. For efficiency, the controller has two separate processors, a data-receiving processor for receiving temperature indicating signal from each sensor as well as power signals, and a control processor for receivin...

A closed crankcase ventilation system for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The system comprises a flow path configured to enable crankcase emissions to flow from a crankcase of an internal combustion engine. A compressor is configured to enhance the flow of crankcase emissions from the crankcase by drawing the crankcase emissions into the compressor, to draw air from a source, and to compress the air and crankcase emissions. A treatment element is provided downstream of the compressor...

A vacuum cleaner with a closed loop air system is disclosed that is intended for the cleaning of soft-coated floors, such as carpets and rugs. The cleaner includes two main units: a floating foot, containing an intake nozzle and an expanded chamber for the returning air stream, and a managing unit, containing a managing handle and supporting wheels. The floating foot has a seal along its perimeter, enclosing the space between the surface being cleaned and the bottom of the foot from the surround...
