Latest Patents

Rattray's latest patents include a disc cleaning mechanism and a disc drying device. The disc cleaning mechanism features cleaner liquid flow passages designed for discharging cleaner liquid from a rotatable brush unit. These passages allow cleaner liquid fed to a hollow portion in a rotary shaft to flow to openings in brush cleaner circular plates via lateral grooves. This innovative design ensures that dirt is effectively sucked into the cleaner liquid passages and discharged from the rotatable brush unit.

The disc drying device, on the other hand, provides a method for simultaneously and quickly drying multiple discs through a batch process. This invention allows for the miniaturization of the device while ensuring that plural discs are chucked at their outer peripheries. Hot water is supplied from the inner peripheral surfaces of the discs, and the simultaneous rotation of the discs helps to move the hot water outwardly by centrifugal force. The discharged hot water is then collected and discharged to the outside.
