Abstract
Abstract A screw- or worm-type degassing extrusion device wherein a pin region is provided to increase throughput of the mixture to be extruded, such increased throughput being maintained and utilized to provide an adequate pressure for, for example, a tool by locating the pin region immediately upstream of the degassing region and by increasing the diameter of the cylinder or barrel of the extrusion device in the degassing and discharge regions compared with its diameter in the pin region.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A degassing extrusion device suitable for extruding thermoplastic materials and rubber comprising a hollow cylinder, worm means extending axially within said hollow cylinder, said interior of said hollow cylinder defining a plurality of treatment regions, said treatment regions comprising a feed region for receiving material to be treated, a pin region downstream of and in communication with said feed region and having pins located therein which extend radially into the space between said cylinder and said worm so as to increase the pressure in said pin region, a degassing region downstream of an in communication with said pin region and a discharge region downstream of and in communication with said degassing region, wherein said degassing region is immediately downstream of said pin region and said hollow cylinder has a first diameter in said degassing and discharge regions and a second diameter in said pin region, said first diameter exceeding said second diameter.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A degassing extrusion device suitable for extruding thermoplastic materials and rubber comprising a hollow cylinder, worm means extending axially within said hollow cylinder, said interior of said hollow cylinder defining a plurality of treatment regions, said treatment regions comprising a feed region for receiving material to be treated, a pin region downstream of and in communication with said feed region and having pins located therein which extend radially into the space between said cylinder and said worm so as to increase the pressure in said pin region, a degassing region downstream of an in communication with said pin region and a discharge region downstream of and in communication with said degassing region, wherein said degassing region is immediately downstream of said pin region and said hollow cylinder has a first diameter in said degassing and discharge regions and a second diameter in said pin region, said first diameter exceeding said second diameter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A degassing extrusion device as recited in claim 1, in which said first diameter exceeds said second diameter by 10 to 30%.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A degassing extrusion device as recited in claim 2 wherein said first diameter exceeds said second diameter by 15 to 25%.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A degassing extrusion device as recited in claim 2 wherein said first diameter exceeds said second diameter by about 20%.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
71 words
A degassing extrusion device as recited in claim 1 wherein said communication between said pin region and said degassing region occurs around a periphery of an enlargement means, said enlargement means defining an external periphery and being mounted on said worm, said external periphery and the interior surface of said hollow cylinder defining an annular flow channel for said material to be extruded between said pin region and said degassing region.
