Claim 1
Independent Claim
314 words
In a jet pulse bag type collector having a horizontally disposed tube sheet with at least one opening through the tube sheet, a filter bag and cage assembly mounted to extend from the opening, means for support of said cage assembly from the tube sheet and means for support of the filter bag from the cage assembly and tube sheet with the open end of the bag in communication with said opening, and a venturi extending through the open end of the filter bag, the improvement wherein the cage assembly is supported on the venturi while the venturi is supported from the tube sheet comprising webs extending outwardly from the venturi for a distance to extend alongside the inner side of the cage assembly, a recessed portion extending inwardly from an outer edge of the webs, means extending inwardly from an upper portion of the cage assembly for engagement in the recessed portions of the webs whereby the cage assembly is retained by the webs of the venturi while in the assembled relation, and means for supporting the venturi from the tube sheet in which the filter bag is circular in cross section and in which the means for support of the filter bag comprises a ring member fixed to the upper end portion of the filter bag having an outside diameter greater than the diameter of the bag and an internal diameter greater than the outside diameter of the cage assembly, a support member depending from the tube sheet about the opening and defining a tubular portion having a length greater than the length of the ring member, an internal diameter greater than the outside diameter of the ring member, and a lip extending inwardly from the lower end portion defining an opening greater than the diameter of the bag and cage assembly but less than the outside diameter of the ring member.

In a jet pulse bag type collector having a horizontally disposed tube sheet with at least one opening through the tube sheet, a filter bag and cage assembly mounted to extend from the opening, means for support of said cage assembly from the tube sheet and means for support of the filter bag from the cage assembly and tube sheet with the open end of the bag in communication with said opening, and a venturi extending through the open end of the filter bag, the improvement wherein the cage assembly is supported on the venturi while the venturi is supported from the tube sheet comprising webs extending outwardly from the venturi for a distance to extend alongside the inner side of the cage assembly, a recessed portion extending inwardly from an outer edge of the webs, means extending inwardly from an upper portion of the cage assembly for engagement in the recessed portions of the webs whereby the cage assembly is retained by the webs of the venturi while in the assembled relation, and means for supporting the venturi from the tube sheet in which the filter bag is circular in cross section and in which the means for support of the filter bag comprises a ring member fixed to the upper end portion of the filter bag having an outside diameter greater than the diameter of the bag and an internal diameter greater than the outside diameter of the cage assembly, a support member depending from the tube sheet about the opening and defining a tubular portion having a length greater than the length of the ring member, an internal diameter greater than the outside diameter of the ring member, and a lip extending inwardly from the lower end portion defining an opening greater than the diameter of the bag and cage assembly but less than the outside diameter of the ring member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
129 words
A collector as claimed in claim 1 in which the webs extend from the venturi in circumferentially spaced apart relation and in which the cage assembly is a wire cage formed of a plurality of longitudinally spaced circular hoops including an uppermost hoop in which the hoops are interconnected by a plurality of longitudinally extending wires circumferentially spaced about the hoops, in which the means extending inwardly from the upper portion of the cage assembly comprises the uppermost hoop positioned internally of the longitudinal wires and having an internal diameter dimensioned to seat the uppermost hoop in the recessed portion of the webs, said uppermost hoop being split to enable expansion for passage over the webs until the uppermost hoop becomes engaged within the recessed portions of the webs.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
63 words
A collector as claimed in claim 1 in which the means for support of the venturi from the tube sheet comprises a flange extending outwardly from an upper end portion of the venturi for a distance to extend beyond the opening in the tube sheet whereby the flange rests on portions of the tube sheet about the opening, when in the assembled relation.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
A collector as claimed in claim 3 in which the opening in the tube sheet is a circular opening and the flange is an annular flange having a diameter greater than the diameter of the opening through the tube sheet and in which the inwardly extending recessed portions of the webs are located immediately below the annular flange.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
A collector as claimed in claim 1 in which the support member comprises a tubular member.
