Patent CA-2503542-A1 (CA)
Title: Suspending device
Inventor: CAMPS WERNER
IPC: F16B7/22
Filed: 2003-11-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a suspending device for webs made of flexible material, comprising a fastening section which allows the suspending device to be fastened to or near an edge of a planar web material, and a suspending section that allows hanging on a profiled rod (7). The aim of the invention is to create a suspending device that can be fastened and released in a simple and quick manner by means of a profiled rod or similar which is used for suspending corresponding webs of material or pockets. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the suspending section consists of two essentially opposite and facing hook parts (4, 5) which define an undercut, at least one of said hook parts (5) being movable so as to at least partly uncover an undercut in such a way that the profiled rod can be inserted into the undercuts between the hook parts. The profiled rod is secured within the two undercuts once the movable hook part has been moved back into the initial position which is located essentially opposite the other hook part.

Abstract: A vibratory material separating apparatus has at least two plateau conveying surfaces interrupted by a drop out opening. A composite mixture is conveyed by a vibrating action beyond the first conveying plateau and over a foraminous section in the first conveying plateau adjacent the drop out opening. Air is directed upwardly through the foraminous section to break apart the composite mixture, and an air supply formed by an air duct is also directed angularly in relationship to the plane of the first conveying plateau to further break apart the composite mixture and to propel particles of predetermined density and/or dimension to the landing area on the second conveying plateau. The air duct is adjustable between a first position and a second position to form an air stream having an adjustable and width. In another aspect, a separating tube is located between and spaced from the first and second conveying plateaus, within the drop out opening. The separating tube interacts with the air stream produced by the air duct to assist in carrying particles passing over the leading edge of the separating tube over the drop out opening and onto the landing area of the second conveying plateau.
