Patent CA-2371840-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHNEIDER JOHN C
IPC: B03D1/16
Filed: 2002-02-14
Abstract: The invention is an agitated countercurrent flotation apparatus having a plurality of flotation cells through which a separable fluid mixture of solids or liquids or both flows sequentially. Preferably, each cell is provided with an upright shaft having a plurality of impellers attached to it and spaced along its length with disks being affixed to the shaft between adjacent impellers, thereby defining a plurality of flotation zones vertically within the cell. This structure enables the creation of a gradient of flotation conditions vertically within each cell so that conditions can be tailored to maximize the mass transfer of particles onto bubbles and promote a flow of liquids or solids laden bubbles upward through the cell and a countercurrent decreasing concentrated stream for the feed into the next cell. The separation efficiency of the flotation process provided by the apparatus is enhanced by providing each cell with an overflow launder into which a liquids or solids laden froth flows, and providing fluid communication means extending from the overflow launder of each downstream cell to an inlet of the previous upstream cell, thereby providing a recycling of floated material. The apparatus is particularly useful for the flotation of fine and ultrafine particles.

Inventor: WOLTERS MARK T
IPC: A41D1/215
Filed: 2002-03-27
Abstract: The Mother's Burping Bib is designed to assist mothers and others when burping a baby after feeding. Since a baby will often regurgitate when being burped, it is important for the person burping the baby to protect their clothing, particularly in the shoulder area, where the baby's head is generally positioned. The Mother's Burping Bib is worn by the mother (or other person burping the baby) over the shoulder against which the baby is being held and drapes down to cover the front torso. The Mother's Burping Bib is axed with a neck strap that circles the wearer's neck, attaching in the front by means of hook and loop strips. The design is meant to ensure the device remains in position when the wearer picks up or puts down a baby. This eliminates the chance of the protective covering falling off before the baby is positioned on the shoulder for burping, a common occurrence when a simple blanket or towel is draped over the shoulder for the same purpose. The Mother's Burping Bib is designed to be reversible to allow for use on either shoulder. It is washable and is constructed of absorbent flannel material for the baby's comfort.

Title: Clip arrangement for garment hanger
Inventor: GOLDMAN ALLAN JOEL
IPC: A47G25/48
Filed: 2002-09-20
Abstract: A garment hanger is provided and includes an elongated body, an integrally formed, centrally located hook member, and clip assemblies located at each opposing end of the body. Each clip assembly includes a horizontal lower clip, a horizontal upper clip and a vertical end clip. Each vertical clip includes a downwardly directed anchor arm which is spaced a predetermined distance from an inner surface of the end of the hanger and defines a receiving slot therebetween, into which clothing may be selectively inserted. The inner surface of the receiving slot includes an integrally formed upwardly and outwardly directly spring arm which is spring biased against an inside contact surface of the rigid anchor arm. It is the resiliency of this spring arm that creates a clamping action within the receiving slot which is used to force any inserted clothing snugly against the anchor arm, thereby holding the clothing in place within the receiving slot. The resiliency also permits the spring arm to flex inwardly toward the hanger body during garment insertion.

Title: Oil passage structure in rotary shaft
Inventor: HORI YOSHIAKI
IPC: F01M11/02
Filed: 2002-11-05
Abstract: In an oil passage structure in a rotary shaft, including two systems of oil passages different in pressure that are provided extending from both ends of the shaft, the rotary shaft is provided with oil supply holes in the radial direction of the shaft for connection between a center hole in the shaft and locations to be supplied with an oil, the oil supply holes being bored from the outside of the shaft. At this time, the so-called burrs are generated at end portions of the oil supply holes on the side fronting on the center hole.   Where the depth of the shaft center hole is a dead end, removal of the burrs is not easy. The present invention aims at providing a structure of the shaft center hole used as oil passages in which burrs, if any, in the hole can be easily removed. The two oil passages are communicated with each other through a communication passage smaller than the oil passages in diameter, and the smaller-diameter communication passage is closed by pressing a steel ball therein, thereby making both of the oil passages independent from each other.
