20090278275 | Apparatus and Method for Forming Ceramic Products - A porous mold is provided for forming ceramic products from a ceramic fluid mixture formed of a suspension of ceramic material in a liquid. A suction device is arranged for extracting or withdrawing at least part of the liquid through the porous mold. An actuator reciprocally displaces the first and second half-molds of the porous mold to form a chamber and to vary the volume of the chamber. A method for forming ceramic products includes the steps of pouring in a porous mold a ceramic fluid mixture formed of a suspension of ceramic material in a liquid, extracting at least part of the liquid through the porous mold and pressing the ceramic fluid mixture by reciprocally moving first and second half-molds of the porous mold. | 11-12-2009 |
20120267816 | PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR MOLDING A FILTER - The invention provides a method for forming a fibrous layer within a tubular support, which comprises the steps of: (a) providing the tubular support; (b) providing forming mesh over the curved surface of the support and closing its ends against escape of fluid; and (c) introducing fibrous slurry (e.g. an aqueous slurry of borosilicate glass microfibers and water dispersible heat curable acrylic resin at a pH of about 3) from a pressurized source into an annular molding space between a rotary molding torpedo and an inner surface of the support, the torpedo having at least one channel for slurry opening along a curved surface thereof, fibers in the slurry collecting within the forming mesh to form the layer. The invention also provides apparatus for forming a fibrous layer within a tubular support, which comprises:(a) a mould having a molding space for the tubular support; (b) forming mesh in the molding space for covering an exterior curved surface of the support, the forming mesh being configured to collect fibers and permit liquid to pass through it; (c) headstock and tailstock end closures for closing headstock and tailstock ends of the support against escape of fluid; (d) a rotary molding torpedo extendible into and retractable from the molding space for defining with an internal curved surface of the support an annular space for formation of the fibrous layer, the torpedo having at least one channel for slurry opening along a curved surface thereof; (e) a drive coupled to the torpedo for rotation thereof during molding; and (f) a supply line for supplying fibrous slurry from a pressurized source to the torpedo for flow into and through the molding space; and (g) suction means for withdrawing fluid from the molding space. | 10-25-2012 |
20130221558 | APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING ABSORBENT BODY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AIR-PERMEABLE MEMBER - An apparatus for manufacturing an absorbent body of an absorbent article by depositing a liquid absorbent material on an air-permeable member by passing an air that contains the liquid absorbent material in a thickness direction of the air-permeable member, the apparatus including: a plurality of plates that are stacked in the thickness direction, that constitutes the air-permeable member, each of which includes a plurality of air holes that penetrate the plate in the thickness direction and that allow the air to pass, and each of which includes a joining portion for joining to an adjacent plate in the thickness direction in a portion of the plate in which the air holes are not formed, the plurality of air holes of each of the plates being arranged so as to communicate with corresponding air holes of an adjacent plate in the thickness direction, corresponding air holes of all the plates stacked in the thickness direction having a same shape. | 08-29-2013 |

20160016367 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING FIBER SUBSTRATE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING RESIN ROTATOR - There is little fluctuation in amount of short fibers among individual products of fiber substrate. No damage is caused to a mold for the fiber substrate. Continuous production of the fiber substrates is possible. A method of manufacturing a fiber substrate includes the steps of: preparing slurry by dispersing short fibers in a dispersion medium; pouring the slurry into a cylindrical mold from above the cylindrical mold, the slurry being directed to a slurry diffusion member disposed in the center of the cylindrical mold and having an upward pointing conical or pyramidal shape; pouring the dispersion medium or water onto the slurry diffusion member from above the slurry diffusion member to cause the short fibers adhering to the slurry diffusion member to fall down, after the step of pouring the slurry; and discharging the dispersion medium from the cylindrical mold to accumulate the short fibers in the cylindrical mold to obtain a fiber aggregate. | 01-21-2016 |
