Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
186 words
A liquid replenishing apparatus (K, K') for supplying liquid raw material replenishment (8) for liquid raw material (2) of an article to at least one raw material tank (1) such that said raw material tank (1) stores therein said liquid raw material (2), said liquid replenishing apparatus (K, K') comprising: a replenishment tank (7) for storing therein said liquid raw material replenishment (8), in which a space (9) is defined above a liquid level of said liquid raw material replenishment (8); a first pipe (6) which is extended between said replenishment tank (7) and said raw material tank (1); a second pipe (10) for introducing pressurized gas into said space (9) so as to deliver said liquid raw material replenishment (8) from said replenishment tank (7) to said raw material tank (1) through said first pipe (6); a branch pipe (6)' which gives communication between said first pipe (6) and said second pipe (10); a pressure regulator (18) which is provided in the course of said second pipe (10); and a first flow regulator (17) which is provided in the course of said branch pipe (6').
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
186 words
A liquid replenishing apparatus (K, K') for supplying liquid raw material replenishment (8) for liquid raw material (2) of an article to at least one raw material tank (1) such that said raw material tank (1) stores therein said liquid raw material (2), said liquid replenishing apparatus (K, K') comprising: a replenishment tank (7) for storing therein said liquid raw material replenishment (8), in which a space (9) is defined above a liquid level of said liquid raw material replenishment (8); a first pipe (6) which is extended between said replenishment tank (7) and said raw material tank (1); a second pipe (10) for introducing pressurized gas into said space (9) so as to deliver said liquid raw material replenishment (8) from said replenishment tank (7) to said raw material tank (1) through said first pipe (6); a branch pipe (6)' which gives communication between said first pipe (6) and said second pipe (10); a pressure regulator (18) which is provided in the course of said second pipe (10); and a first flow regulator (17) which is provided in the course of said branch pipe (6').
