In the vicinity of the rotary drum motor is a mixed gas chamber and means for providing the gas mixture along a co-axial passage into the rotary drum chamber. Orifices are bored into the end caps of the rotary drum to direct the separated gases into the aforementioned separated gas chambers which, through the action of the gas seals, freely slide upon the rotating drum to collect and thereafter discharge the thus separated gases. Therefore, according to the present invention, helium gas used to prevent separated gas remixture is unnecessary and, furthermore, the gas seals and elastic bellows means provide an air-tight seal superior to that of the contact sealing system of the former art.","","","","","Japan","1970-03-27","","Japanese","Patent","","","","","","Medium: X; Size: Pages: 3","","JP 1974-8143; B","","","https://doi.org/","Patent Assignee: Tokyo Shibaura Electric Co.
