Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
123 words
A duplex type continuous mixer, comprising: a casing having an inlet and an outlet at opposite ends thereof and defining a pair of parallel cavities extending between said inlet and outlet; a pair of mixing shafts rotatably received in said cavities and each having a feed portion, a mixing portion, a discharge portion and an annular groove separating said mixing and discharge portions; and a weir member projected upwardly from the bottom walls of said cavities at a position corresponding to said annular groove of said mixing shafts so as to prevent the short-passes of unmelted materials, wherein the cross sectional profile of the top surface of said weir member is identical to the cross-sectional profile of said bottom walls of said cavities.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
123 words
A duplex type continuous mixer, comprising: a casing having an inlet and an outlet at opposite ends thereof and defining a pair of parallel cavities extending between said inlet and outlet; a pair of mixing shafts rotatably received in said cavities and each having a feed portion, a mixing portion, a discharge portion and an annular groove separating said mixing and discharge portions; and a weir member projected upwardly from the bottom walls of said cavities at a position corresponding to said annular groove of said mixing shafts so as to prevent the short-passes of unmelted materials, wherein the cross sectional profile of the top surface of said weir member is identical to the cross-sectional profile of said bottom walls of said cavities.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
145 words
A duplex type continuous mixer, comprising: a casing having an inlet and an outlet at opposite ends thereof and defining a pair of parallel cavities extending between said inlet and outlet; a pair of mixing shafts rotatably received in said cavities and each having a feed portion, a mixing portion and a discharge portion, said discharge portion having a first section adjacent said mixing portion; and a weir member projected upwardly from the bottom walls of said cavities at a position corresponding to said first section of said discharge portions of said mixing shafts so as to prevent the short-passes of unmelted material, wherein said weir member is vertically adjustably supported in the bottom walls of said cavities, wherein the cross sectional profile of the top surface of said weir member is identical to the cross sectional profile of said bottom walls of said cavities.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
145 words
A duplex type continuous mixer, comprising: a casing having an inlet and an outlet at opposite ends thereof and defining a pair of parallel cavities extending between said inlet and outlet; a pair of mixing shafts rotatably received in said cavities and each having a feed portion, a mixing portion and a discharge portion, said discharge portion having a first section adjacent said mixing portion; and a weir member projected upwardly from the bottom walls of said cavities at a position corresponding to said first section of said discharge portions of said mixing shafts so as to prevent the short-passes of unmelted material, wherein said weir member is vertically adjustably supported in the bottom walls of said cavities, wherein the cross sectional profile of the top surface of said weir member is identical to the cross sectional profile of said bottom walls of said cavities.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
The duplex type continuous mixer of claim 1 or 2, further comprising means for adjusting the height of the projection of said weir member into said cavities.
