Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of glass deep processing, and in particular to a vertical glass homogenization conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] Homogenized tempered glass refers to sodium-calcium-silicon tempered glass that has undergone specific processing conditions. Currently, most homogenizing furnaces use conveyor trolleys for transport. During operation, the glass is arranged on the trolley, and the trolley needs to be pushed through different homogenizing furnaces during the homogenization process. For example, during homogenization, the glass needs to undergo a heating process in a high-temperature furnace. Thus, the conveyor trolley loaded with glass is pushed into the high-temperature furnace for a period of time, then into a holding furnace for a period of heat preservation, and finally into a low-temperature furnace for cooling. In this process, because the conveyor trolley loaded with glass is pushed through different homogenizing furnaces, and the trolley itself undergoes heating, holding, and cooling processes in each furnace, the conveyor trolley consumes a significant amount of heat within the homogenizing furnace, resulting in high energy consumption.

[0003] Because the load capacity of the conveying trolley is relatively small, in order to improve the conveying efficiency of the trolley, that is, to increase the number of glass conveyed each time, the vertical glass arrangement interval is small. This not only easily affects the glass heating and the homogenization effect, but also easily affects the surface optical properties of adjacent glass after the glass breaks spontaneously. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome at least one of the defects described in the prior art, the present invention provides an upright glass homogenization conveying device, which utilizes a conveying frame to form a conveying channel. The main conveying mechanism drives the glass to be conveyed along the conveying channel. During the glass conveying process, the clamping mechanism clamps the glass to keep it in an upright conveying state. The present invention has a strong glass load capacity, high glass conveying efficiency, and the conveying frame is not conveyed with the glass, resulting in low energy consumption of the conveying frame.

[0046] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0048] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0049] See Figures 1-10 This invention discloses a vertical glass homogenization conveying device, comprising: a conveying frame 10, the conveying frame 10 including at least one vertically arranged conveying channel 101; a main conveying mechanism 20, the main conveying mechanism 20 being disposed on the conveying channel 101; and a clamping mechanism 30, the clamping mechanism 30 being disposed on the main conveying mechanism 20, the clamping mechanism 30 being used to clamp glass 40; the main conveying mechanism 20 drives glass 40 to be conveyed along the conveying channel 101, and during the conveying of glass 40, the clamping mechanism 30 clamps glass 40 to keep it in an upright conveying state.

[0050] This invention utilizes a conveyor frame 10 to form a conveying channel 101. The conveyor frame 10 is installed inside the homogenizing furnace. The main conveying mechanism 20 drives the glass 40 to be conveyed along the conveying channel 101. During the conveying process of the glass 40, the clamping mechanism 30 clamps the glass 40 to keep it in an upright conveying state. This invention has a strong load-bearing capacity for the glass 40 and a high efficiency in conveying the glass 40. The conveyor frame 10 does not need to follow the glass 40 to move in different homogenizing furnaces. The conveyor frame 10 does not need to follow the glass 40 through the heating, heat preservation and cooling processes. Thus, the heat loss generated by the conveyor frame 10 is low.

[0051] In this invention, the clamping mechanism 30 includes a first clamping body 301, a second clamping body 302, a rotating shaft 303, and a first driving mechanism. The middle portions of the first clamping body 301 and the second clamping body 302 are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft 303. The first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302 form a driving end 304. The first driving mechanism is disposed at the driving end 304. The second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 form a clamping end 305. The glass 40 is disposed at the clamping end 305. The first driving mechanism moves forward, thereby driving the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 to move closer together and clamp the glass 40. The first driving mechanism moves in reverse, thereby driving the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 to move away from each other and release the glass 40.

[0052] Specifically, see Figures 2-3 The first driving mechanism includes a driving rod 306 and a driving shaft 307. The driving shaft 307 and the rotating shaft 303 are both sleeved on the driving rod 306. The driving rod 306 is provided with a first threaded segment and a second threaded segment. The first threaded segment and the second threaded segment have opposite directions of rotation. The driving shaft 307 is threadedly connected to the first threaded segment, and the rotating shaft 303 is threadedly connected to the second threaded segment.

[0053] Specifically, the first clamping body 301 and the second clamping body 302 are rods, blocks or plates, and are not limited to specific shapes, as long as they can achieve rotational clamping. The first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302 are provided with guide slopes 308 for introducing the drive shaft 307 between them. A V-shaped opening is formed between the two guide slopes 308. When the drive shaft 307 approaches the rotating shaft 303, the drive shaft 307 opens the V-shaped opening, so that the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 approach each other to form a clamping force.

[0054] Specifically, in order to increase the contact area with the glass 40, the inner sidewall of the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the inner sidewall of the second end of the second clamping body 302 are both provided with clamping plates 309; the inner sidewall of the clamping plate 309 is provided with a flexible spacer 310, which is a high temperature resistant rubber spacer. The flexible spacer 310 can not only increase the friction, but also prevent the first clamping body 301 and the second clamping body 302 from scratching the surface of the glass 40.

[0055] More specifically, in use, rotating the drive rod 306 clockwise causes the drive shaft 307 and the rotating shaft 303 to move closer together. The drive shaft 307 engages between the first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302, causing the first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302 to move away from each other, while the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 move closer together to clamp the glass 40. Rotating the drive rod 306 counterclockwise causes the drive shaft 307 and the rotating shaft 303 to move away from each other. The drive shaft 307 moves away from the first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302, causing the first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302 to move closer together, while the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 move away from each other to release the glass 40.

[0056] In other embodiments, the first driving mechanism includes a spring disposed between a first end of a first clamping body 301 and a first end of a second clamping body 302. The first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302 are moved away from each other by the elastic force of the spring, while the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 are brought closer together to clamp the glass 40. An operator overcomes the elastic force of the spring and presses the first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302, causing the first end of the first clamping body 301 and the first end of the second clamping body 302 to move closer together and the second end of the first clamping body 301 and the second end of the second clamping body 302 to move away from each other to release the glass 40.

[0057] Continue reading Figures 2-3 The clamping mechanism 30 includes a bearing 311, a bushing 312, and an adjusting pin 313. The bushing 312 is sleeved on the drive rod 306, and the bushing 312 and the drive rod 306 are movably connected. The bearing 311 is sleeved on the bushing 312, and the bearing 311 and the bushing 312 are fixedly connected. The drive rod 306 is provided with multiple first adjusting holes 314, and the bushing 312 is provided with multiple second adjusting holes 315. The adjusting pin 313 connects the bushing 312 and the drive rod 306 by cooperating with the first adjusting holes 314 and the second adjusting holes 315. The bushing 312 is connected to the main conveying mechanism 20 through the bearing 311. Since the adjusting pin 313 connects the bushing 312 and the drive rod 306, when it is necessary to clamp or release the glass 40, the bushing 312 and the drive rod 306 rotate together. Thus, the bearing 311 is provided to ensure smooth rotation of the bushing 312 and the drive rod 306.

[0058] Specifically, bearing 311 is a ball bearing. The inner ring of bearing 311 is fixedly connected to bushing 312. The two are fixedly connected by welding, tight fit or screws. The outer ring of bearing 311 is detachably connected to drag buckle 50 mentioned below, thereby realizing the detachable connection between clamping mechanism 30 and main conveying mechanism 20, which facilitates the loading and unloading of glass 40. By adjusting the relative position between bushing 312 and drive rod 306, the relative distance between clamping end 305 of clamping mechanism 30 and bearing 311 can be adjusted, that is, the relative distance between clamping end 305 of clamping mechanism 30 and main conveying mechanism 20 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the conveying of glass 40 at different heights.

[0059] In this invention, the main conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveying chain 201 and a second driving mechanism. The second driving mechanism includes a drive sprocket 202, an auxiliary sprocket 203, a main motor 204, and an auxiliary motor 205. The main motor 204 drives the drive sprocket 202 to rotate, and the auxiliary motor 205 drives the auxiliary sprocket 203 to rotate.

[0060] In this invention, the main conveying mechanism 20 includes a tensioning mechanism, which includes at least one tensioning wheel assembly 206. The conveying chain 201 is wound around the drive sprocket 202, the auxiliary sprocket 203, and the tensioning wheel assembly 206. In order to facilitate the conveying of the conveying chain 201, a support sprocket 207 is also provided to support the two ends of the upper section of the conveying chain 201 for auxiliary conveying. The tensioning mechanism is also provided in the upper section of the conveying chain 201.

[0061] Specifically, see Figure 4 The control method of the main conveying mechanism 20 of the present invention is as follows:

[0062] S100: Before the main motor 204 and the auxiliary motor 205 are started, the tensioning mechanism is adjusted so that the upper section of the transmission chain 201 is in a tensioned state.

[0063] S200: Start the main motor 204, at which time the auxiliary motor 205 is stationary;

[0064] S300: The main motor 204 works in conjunction with the tensioning mechanism to adjust the upper section and the lower section of the transmission chain 201 to be in a tensioned state.

[0065] S400: Start the auxiliary motor 205. The auxiliary motor 205 rotates in the same direction as the main motor 204, driving the transmission chain 201 to move upward.

[0066] Thus, by setting a main motor 204 and an auxiliary motor 205 as driving sources, the present invention drags the conveyor chain 201 with the main motor 204, while the auxiliary motor 205 drags the conveyor chain 201 and pushes it towards the main motor 204. The main motor 204 and the auxiliary motor 205 work together to ensure that the conveyor chain 201 moves smoothly, which is particularly suitable for conveyor chains 201 with a span of more than 100 meters. The present invention avoids the situation in the prior art where the conveyor chain 201 is partially tensioned and partially slack due to the use of only one power motor, and also avoids the situation in the prior art where the conveyor chain 201 cannot be pulled or breaks due to the use of only one power motor. The present invention can ensure the normal and stable operation of the conveyor chain 201.

[0067] In this invention, the vertical glass homogenizing conveying device includes a drag buckle 50, and the clamping mechanism 30 is detachably connected to the main conveying mechanism 20 via the drag buckle 50.

[0068] In this invention, the main conveying mechanism 20 includes a conveying frame 208, which is located at the lower section of the conveying chain 201. The conveying frame 208 is provided with a chain groove 209 along the conveying direction, and the lower section of the conveying chain 201 is located in the chain groove 209. The conveying chain 201 includes chain links 2011 and chain plates 2012. The chain plates 2012 are located beside the chain links 2011. Multiple chain links 2011 are connected to each other to form a chain link bar. The chain links 2011 and the chain plates 2012 are connected to each other. A slot structure 2013 is formed between two adjacent chain plates 2012, and a drag buckle 50 is engaged in the slot structure 2013.

[0069] Specifically, the conveyor frame 208 and the conveyor frame 10 are detachably connected by screws, or the conveyor frame 208 and the conveyor frame 10 are fixedly connected by welding.

[0070] In this invention, the vertical glass homogenizing conveying device includes a drag-and-pin separation mechanism 60, which includes a lifting plate 601 and a third drive mechanism. The lifting plate 601 is located on the side of the conveyor frame 208. The drag-and-pin 50 moves onto the lifting plate 601 along with the conveyor chain 201. The third drive mechanism drives the lifting plate 601 to rise, thereby separating the drag-and-pin 50 from the conveyor chain 201.

[0071] Specifically, the drag clip 50 is shaped like an inverted "U". The drag clip 50 includes a side plate 501 and a connecting rod 502. The connecting rod 502 is supported between the two side plates 501 and is engaged with the slot structure 2013. The inverted "U" shape of the drag clip 50 facilitates the lifting plate 601 to lift it. The connecting rod 502 is located on the upper part of the side plate 501, and the lower part of the side plate 501 is provided with a mounting hole 503 for mounting the bearing 311 of the clamping mechanism 30. After the bearing 311 is installed in the mounting hole 503, screws are used to detachably connect the bearing 311 and the drag clip 50. In this way, after the glass 40 on the clamping mechanism 30 has completed deep processing, the two can be separated by loosening the screws between the bearing 311 and the drag clip 50.

[0072] More specifically, the inner wall of the lifting pallet 601 abuts against the outer wall of the conveyor frame 208, the middle inner wall of the side plate 501 abuts against the outer wall of the conveyor frame 208, and a raised part 504 is provided at the end of the side plate 501 facing the lifting pallet 601; the connecting rod 502 of the drag buckle 50 is engaged with the slot structure 2013 of the conveyor chain 201, and the two side plates 501 of the drag buckle 50 are in line contact or surface contact with the conveyor frame 208. The two side plates 501 of the drag buckle 50 abut against the conveyor frame 208 to form a guide, ensuring that the drag buckle 50 does not twist during the conveying process of the conveyor chain 201.

[0073] Furthermore, the drag clip 50 is made entirely of metal, and the side plate 501 is a metal plate, which makes the side plate 501 more resilient. When the drag clip 50 is conveyed to the position of the lifting pallet 601 by the conveyor chain 201, the raised part on the side plate 501 guides the lifting pallet 601 to be inserted between the inner side wall of the side plate 501 and the outer side wall of the conveyor frame 208. The drag clip 50 is mounted on the lifting pallet 601, so when the drive mechanism drives the lifting pallet 601 to rise, the lifting pallet 601 can support the drag clip 50 mounted on it. In this way, the raised part 504 on the side plate 501 plays a guiding role.

[0074] It is understandable that during the process of the raised portion 504 on the side plate 501 guiding the lifting pallet 601 to be inserted between the inner side wall of the side plate 501 and the outer side wall of the conveyor frame 208, the drag clip 50 deforms. However, the amount of deformation of the drag clip 50 is controlled within a predetermined amount. When the drag clip 50 disengages from the lifting pallet 601, the drag clip 50 resets. The aforementioned amount of deformation does not damage the performance of the drag clip 50 itself. Of course, in order to avoid excessive deformation of the drag clip 50, the thickness of the lifting pallet 601 can be controlled to be within a small range.

[0075] In other embodiments, the inner sidewall of the lifting pallet 601 abuts against the outer sidewall of the conveyor frame 208, and an insertion gap is provided between the middle inner sidewall of the side plate 501 and the outer sidewall of the conveyor frame 208. The lifting pallet 601 can be inserted into the insertion gap, so that the drag clip 50 can be mounted on the lifting pallet 601.

[0076] Continue reading Figures 4-5 The third drive mechanism includes a first drive element 602, a pull rod 603, and a corner plate 604. One end of the first drive element 602 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 208, the other end of the first drive element 602 is rotatably connected to one end of the pull rod 603, one end of the pull rod 603 is rotatably connected to one end of the corner plate 604, the middle part of the corner plate 604 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 208, and the other end of the corner plate 604 is rotatably connected to the lifting pallet 601.

[0077] Furthermore, the third drive mechanism includes multiple corner plates 604; the first end of the first drive element 602 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 208 via a rotating pin, the second end of the first drive element 602 is rotatably connected to the first end of the pull rod 603 via a rotating pin, the second end of the pull rod 603 is rotatably connected to the first ends of multiple corner plates 604 via multiple rotating pins, the second ends of multiple corner plates 604 are all rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 208 via rotating pins, and the third ends of multiple corner plates 604 are all rotatably connected to the lifting pallet 601 via rotating pins.

[0078] The first driving element 602 is a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0079] Multiple corner plates 604 can achieve multi-point lifting of the lifting pallet 601 in the conveying direction, so that the lifting pallet 601 is evenly stressed in the conveying direction, avoiding jamming caused by uneven stress during the lifting pallet 601's ascent and descent, and reducing malfunctions; the linkage between multiple corner plates 604 is achieved by using a pull rod 603, and only one first drive element 602 is needed to achieve the rotation of multiple corner plates 604, and the length of the pull rod 603 is adapted to the length of the lifting pallet 601.

[0080] To facilitate the operation of the drive mechanism, the angle plate 604 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 208 via a hinge seat and a rotating pin, and the first drive element 602 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 208 via a hinge seat and a rotating pin.

[0081] In the invention, at least one guide mechanism 70 is provided between the conveyor 208 and the lifting pallet 601. The guide mechanism 70 includes a guide groove 701 and a guide pin 702. The guide pin 702 is inserted into the guide groove 701 and moves along the guide groove 701.

[0082] Specifically, see Figures 5-6The guide groove 701 is arc-shaped, and its shape adapts to the movement trajectory of the lifting pallet 601. The guide groove 701 is mounted on the lifting pallet 601, and the guide pin 702 is mounted on the conveyor frame 208; or the guide groove 701 is mounted on the conveyor frame 208, and the guide pin 702 is mounted on the lifting pallet 601. It is evident that the relative positions of the guide groove 701 and the guide pin 702 do not affect their guiding function. The specific relative positions of the guide groove 701 and the guide pin 702 are determined according to the actual situation and are not limited to this.

[0083] In this invention, the vertical glass homogenizing conveying device includes an auxiliary conveying mechanism 80, a main conveying mechanism 20 is disposed at the upper part of the conveying channel 101, a clamping mechanism 30 clamps the upper part of the glass 40, and the auxiliary conveying mechanism 80 is disposed at the lower part of the conveying channel 101 and supported at the lower part of the glass 40.

[0084] In this invention, the vertical glass homogenizing conveying device includes an upper and lower plate mechanism 90, which is located near the auxiliary conveying mechanism 80. The upper and lower plate mechanism 90 includes a support wheel 901, a swing rod 902, and a fourth drive mechanism. The support wheel 901 and the swing rod 902 are rotatably connected. The fourth drive mechanism drives the swing rod 902 to swing forward, and the support wheel 901 is higher than the auxiliary conveying mechanism 80, supporting the lower part of the glass 40. The fourth drive mechanism also drives the swing rod 902 to swing in the opposite direction, and the support wheel 901 is lower than the auxiliary conveying mechanism 80, or the support wheel 901 is flush with the auxiliary conveying mechanism 80, supporting the lower part of the glass 40.

[0085] In this invention, the auxiliary conveying mechanism 80 includes a plurality of spaced-apart conveying rollers 801, and the loading and unloading mechanism 90 includes a plurality of spaced-apart swing arms 902, which are staggered with the conveying rollers 801. The auxiliary conveying mechanism 80 includes a motor assembly 802, which drives the plurality of conveying rollers 801 to rotate in the same direction.

[0086] Specifically, see Figures 7-10The upper and lower plate mechanism 90 includes a support frame 903, which is detachably connected to the conveyor frame 10 by screws, or the support frame 903 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 10 by welding. The fourth drive mechanism includes a second drive element 904, a push rod 905, a connecting rod 906, and a pin seat 907. The first end of the second drive element 904 is rotatably or fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 10. The second end of the second drive element 904 is rotatably connected to the first end of the push rod 905. The second end of the push rod 905 is rotatably connected to the first end of the connecting rod 906. The second end of the connecting rod 906 is rotatably connected to the first end of the swing rod 902. The second end of the swing rod 902 is rotatably connected to the first end of the pin seat 907. The second end of the pin seat 907 is movably connected to the support frame 903. The third end of the swing rod 902 is rotatably connected to the support wheel 901.

[0087] More specifically, the first end of the second drive element 904 is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 10 via a rotating pin or fixedly connected by welding. The connection of the second drive element 904 is based on enabling the operation of the fourth drive mechanism. The second end of the second drive element 904 is rotatably connected to the first end of the push rod 905 via a rotating pin. The second end of the push rod 905 is rotatably connected to the first end of the connecting rod 906 via a rotating pin. The second end of the connecting rod 906 is rotatably connected to the first end of the swing rod 902 via a rotating pin. The second end of the swing rod 902 is rotatably connected to the first end of the pin seat 907 via a rotating pin. The support frame 903 is provided with a through hole 908 for the pin seat 907 to move up and down. The second end of the pin seat 907 is inserted into the through hole 908, so that the second end of the pin seat 907 is movably connected to the support frame 903. The third end of the swing rod 902 is rotatably connected to the support wheel 901 via a rotating pin.

[0088] The second drive element 904 is a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0089] The pin seat 907 is T-shaped. When the rocker arm 902 swings and drives the support wheel 901 to move up and down, the second end of the pin seat 907 moves up and down in the through hole 908, ensuring the stability of the up and down movement of the upper and lower plate mechanism 90.

[0090] Thus, see Figure 9 When the output shaft of the second drive element 904 extends, it pushes the push rod 905 to drive the connecting rod 906 forward. At this time, the swing rod 902 rotates clockwise around the pin seat 907, and the support roller 901 moves upward, so that the generatrix of the support roller 901 exceeds the generatrix of the conveyor roller 801 by a certain height. At this time, the glass 40 can be vertically conveyed onto the support roller 901. See also Figure 10After the glass 40 is conveyed into position by the support roller 901, the output shaft of the second drive element 904 retracts, pushing the push rod 905 to drive the connecting rod 906 backward. At this time, the swing rod 902 rotates counterclockwise around the pin seat 907, and the support roller 901 moves downward. When the upper generatrix of the support roller 901 is lower than the upper generatrix of the conveyor roller 801, or when the upper generatrix of the support roller 901 is flush with the upper generatrix of the conveyor roller 801, the bottom surface of the glass 40 contacts the conveyor roller 801. Then, the support roller 901 continues to fall until it separates from the bottom surface of the glass 40, thus placing the glass 40 vertically on the conveyor roller 801, thereby realizing the glass 40 loading process. The glass 40 unloading process is similar to this process, only requiring the reverse operation.

[0091] The usage process of this invention is as follows:

[0092] The main conveying mechanism 20 controls the conveying chain 201 to be in a tensioned state. The clamping mechanism 30 clamps the upper part of the glass 40, and the drag buckle 50 is connected to the clamping mechanism 30. Then, the upper and lower plate mechanism 90 places the glass 40, which is equipped with the clamping mechanism 30 and the drag buckle 50, on the support roller 901. At this time, the drag buckle 50 is snapped onto the conveying chain 201. After the installation of the drag buckle 50 and the conveying chain 201 is completed, the upper and lower plate mechanism 90 places the glass 40 on the conveying roller 801 to complete the installation of the glass 40.

[0093] The glass 40 is conveyed in an upright state on the conveyor chain 201 for deep processing such as homogenization.

[0094] After the glass 40 has completed its deep processing, the upper and lower plate mechanism 90, in conjunction with the drag-and-pin separation mechanism 60, lifts the glass 40 upwards. At this time, the drag-and-pin 50 separates from the conveyor chain 201, and the glass 40 separates from the conveyor roller 801. The drag-and-pin 50, the clamping mechanism 30, and the glass 40 are then removed together. Alternatively, the clamping mechanism 30 and the drag-and-pin 50 can be separated, the upper and lower plate mechanism 90 can lift the glass 40 upwards, and after removing the clamping mechanism 30 and the glass 40, the drag-and-pin 50 can be recovered using the drag-and-pin 50 separation device.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
