Abstract
Abstract A powdery dust separating apparatus in a dust collector to separate powdery dust from clean gas by sucking gas containing the powdery dust into the body of the apparatus and passing this through filter members, the body being divided into a filter chamber provided with a plurality of flat box-like filter members therein, and a gas chamber to discharge the filtered gas, the gas chamber being subdivided longitudinally into gas passages with outlets to discharge filtered gas therefrom. Structure is provided to close the outlets just before the introduction of compressed air against the filter members, and at the same time introduce atmospheric air by opening atmospheric air inlets, and causing this atmospheric air to promote action as an expansion gas in addition to the compressed air, whereby the filter members are expanded rapidly and vibrated slightly so as to separate powdery dust built up on the filter members efficiently.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
285 words
A powdery dust separating apparatus, comprising: a. a dust collector body, said body including: (1) a vertically and longitudinally extending partition therein dividing the interior of said body into a filter chamber, and a gas chamber laterally spaced from said filter chamber, (2) a suction pipe at the upper end thereof communicating with said filter chamber, for drawing powdery dust containing gas into said filter chamber, and (3) a dust disposal passage at the lower end thereof communicating with said filter chamber, for discharging therethrough powdery dust separated from the gas; b. mutually parallel, longitudinally spaced, vertically and laterally extending flat box-like filter members disposed in said filter chamber inserted into said partition, said filter members each having filter cloth spread over the outer faces thereof and having openings in ends thereof adjacent said partition; c. a plurality of separators longitudinally separating said gas chamber into a plurality of gas passages, said gas passages each including a gas outlet at the lower end thereof and an atmospheric air inlet opposite said gas outlet; d. compressed air pipes having air outlets protruding therefrom; each of said filter members having spaced apart venturi tubes attached to said openings, said air outlets of said compressed air pipes facing said venturi tubes; and e. a valve arrangement in each of said gas passages, each valve arrangement including an air cylinder having a piston rod reciprocally longitudinally movable therein, an outlet closing valve and an atmospheric air inlet closing valve attached to an end of said piston rod so as to alternately respectively close said gas outlet while opening said atmospheric air inlet and close said gas inlet while opening said gas outlet with reciprocal movement of said piston rod.
