Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
Apparatus for filtering molten plastics and for extruding plastic strands including in combination, a casing formed with a slide surface, a plastics supply duct in said casing leading into said casing slide surface, an interchangeable unit comprising a filter and a die head from which plastic strands are discharged, said unit being formed with a slide surface having an inlet port therein, and means for mounting said unit on said casing with said slide surfaces in engagement for movement of said unit transverse to the direction of flow of plastics material, said mounting means comprising guide rails for receiving said unit and means for resiliently biasing said guide rails toward said casing resiliently to bias said slide surfaces into engagement.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
Apparatus for filtering molten plastics and for extruding plastic strands including in combination, a casing formed with a slide surface, a plastics supply duct in said casing leading into said casing slide surface, an interchangeable unit comprising a filter and a die head from which plastic strands are discharged, said unit being formed with a slide surface having an inlet port therein, and means for mounting said unit on said casing with said slide surfaces in engagement for movement of said unit transverse to the direction of flow of plastics material, said mounting means comprising guide rails for receiving said unit and means for resiliently biasing said guide rails toward said casing resiliently to bias said slide surfaces into engagement.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the guide rails can be tilted about axes which are parallel to the guide rails.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, comprising slide rails for retaining at least one combined filter and die head which is to be newly inserted.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, comprising slide rails for retaining an interchanged combined filter and die head.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1, comprising slide rails for retaining at least one combined filter and die head which is to be newly inserted and slide rails for retaining an interchanged combined filter and die head, wherein the slide rails are in alignment with the guide rails.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
39 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the slide surfaces which are displaced with respect to each other when a combined filter and die head is exchanged are of a relatively soft material and a relatively hard material respectively.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 6 wherein the slide surfaces of soft material are mainly provided on the combined filter and die head.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
Apparatus as claimed in claim 1 comprising, under the combined filter and die head, a reversing device for the plastics strands, said reversing device being adjustable between an operative position and an inoperative position.
