Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
97 words
A METHOD FOR FABRICATING APPARATUS FOR FILTRATION WHICH COMPRISES FORMING POROUS SHEET MATERIAL INTO A TUBE, WINDING ABOUT SAID TUBE A PLURALITY OF SUPERIMPOSED LAYERS OF GLASS FIBERS, COATING EACH OF SAID LAYERS WITH A LIQUID RESIN COMPOSITION, SUBJECTING THE RESULTING LAMINATED ASSEMBLY TO VACUUM TO DEVELOP POROSITY THROUGH THE GLASS FIBER-RESIN STRUCTURE, SETTING THE RESIN, DRAWING A SEALING MATERIAL INTO THE ENDS OF THE ASSEMBLY TO RENDER THESE END PORTIONS IMPERFORATE, INSTALLING A TUBULAR MEMBRANE WITHIN THE TUBE AND SEALING THE ENDS OF THE MEMBRANE AGAINST THE INNER WALLS OF THE IMPERFORATE ENDS OF THE TUBE.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
72 words
A TUBULAR LAMINATED STRUCTURE OF USE IN CONDUCTING FILTRATION COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION, A TUBE OF POROUS CUSHIONING MATERIAL, A SURROUNDING POROUS SUPPORT COMPOSED OF A PLURALITY OF PILES OF GLASS FIBER EACH IMPREGNATED WITH A RESIN, SAID STRUCTURE HAVING IMPERFORATE ENDS IMPERVIOUS TO LIQUIDS, A SEAMLESS TUNULAR MEMBRANE WITHIN THE CUSHIONING TUBE, AND EXPANDED SLEEVES AND THE ENDS OF THE MEMBRANE TO THE INNER WALLE OF THE IMPERFORATE ENDS OF SAID STRUCTURE.
