Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the weight and the moment of inertia of rotors by fitting rotar shells bendingly formed along the contour of the lobe of a rotor and made of plate-like metal constituted by confronting the end faces to each other to rotary shafts through connecting parts. SOLUTION: Elliptical shaft holes 3a having straight parts for inserting rotary shafts 6 are formed on the central part of a pair of side plates blockading both ends of rotor shells 2 which are bendingly formed along the profile of two lobes out of plate bodies such as stainless steel plates, and the rotary shafts 6 are fixed to the rotor shells 2 by welding so as to contact the rotary shafts 6 with the straight parts of cutout faces. Reinforcing pins 8 arranged between the rotary shaft 6 and the rotor shell 2 are fixedly secured to the rotary shaft 6 at one ends by screws and the like, extended vertically from the rotary shaft 6 and joined with the top end parts T of the lobe L of a rotor 1 at the other ends by welding or the like, so as to reinforce connection of the rotor shell 2 with the rotary shaft 6. In this way, the rotor shell is constituted out of a shell member of uniform and relatively small wall thickness, and hence the weight of the rotor can be remarkably reduced.

Abstract: PURPOSE:To make stop and release smooth and reliable in a gate mechanism of a conveyor or the like by disposing a stopper plate made of a disk with its outer circumference formed with arcuate recesses of a radius smaller than the radius of a cylindrical body on a base plate capable of advancing and retracting elastically relative to a travel path and controlling it by means of an external signal. CONSTITUTION:A hook 7a of a restraint lever 7 engages with a bolt head portion 6of a stopper plate 3 projecting by a maximum limit from an opening Ga of a guide wall G into a travel path to make the stopper plate 3 immovable. A cylindrical vessel B transported by a conveyor C comes into contact with an end 3a of an arcuate portion 3b of the stopper plate 3 and stops. When a solenoid 12 is urged by a control signal to retract the restraint lever 7 and release the bolt 6, the stopper plate 3 is rotated by the conveyor C and by the vessel B being urged forward so that the vessels B are passed through in succession. This arrangement makes the stop and release smooth and reliable.
