A quick pressure reducing apparatus is used in vacuum packing of clothing, food, or the like. In order to quickly shift the interior of a preservation bag from the atmospheric state to a pressure reduced state, a reservoir tank is provided which is connected to a rotary pump functioning as a vacuum pump. By establishing communication between the reservoir tank and the preservation bag via an adapter, the internal pressure of the preservation bag can be sufficiently reduced. The adapter has a retractable communicating tubular member so as to smoothly reduce the internal pressure of the preservation bag. The adapter is inserted into the opening portion of the preservation bag whose internal pressure is to be reduced, thereby establishing communication between the preservation bag and the reservoir tank via the communicating tubular member. The opening portion of the preservation bag, together with the inserted adapter, is held between the upper and lower holding members. The communicating tubular member, which has a number of small holes formed at its forward end portion, is projected from the adapter into the preservation bag by a drive mechanism. Accordingly, the internal pressure of the preservation bag can be quickly reduced while preventing the opening edge portion of the preservation bag or the like from closing the communicating tubular member.

A heat insulating film comprises a plastic film, a surface metal layer coating the plastic film, a thin metal layer coating the surface metal layer and a protective membrane layer coating the thin metal layer. The surface metal layer has crystal grains having flat upper surfaces and the thin metal layer has flat crystal grains disposed in a single grain layer and formed and overlying respective flat upper surfaces of the crystal grains of the surface metal layer. Heat rays which irradiate on the heat insulating film pass freely through the protective membrane layer but are reflected by the crystal grains of the thin metal layer. Absorption of heat rays by the heat insulating film is remarkably suppressed.

A turbomolecular pump comprises a casing having an inlet port at one end portion and an outlet port at another end portion, a rotor supported rotatably within the casing, and a stator fixed on an inner wall of the casing. The rotor has rotor vanes which coact with stator vanes on the stator to pump gas molecules from the inlet port to the outlet port. The rotor and stator vanes are arranged in multi-steps and have ceramic surfaces at the steps near the outlet port of the casing and have metallic surface at all other steps, so as to promote the baking efficiency and obtain extremely high vacuums.

Disclosed is a vacuum container for transporting one or more articles in the vacuum atomsphere. To this end, the vacuum container comprises a container body which can be maintained in the air-tight state and which is formed with a hole through which one or more articles are inserted into or removed out of said container body, a gate valve for opening or closing the opening of the container body, vacuum maintaining pump means communicated with the container body in order to maintain the interior thereof at an extremely high degree of vacuum and retaining means disposed within the container body for releasably retaining at least one article. With the vacuum container with the above-described construction, one or more articles which cannot be exposed to the surrounding atmosphere because of various reasons can be transported in the vacuum state in a stable manner.

An ion pump comprises a pump casing inserted in a magnetic field, with an anode supported by insulators in the pump casing. Both the pump casing and anode are made of alminum-based metals, and the pump casing serves also as a cathode, thereby the ion pump has a simpler structure and functions more efficiently than the conventional ones.

A seal device for a gate valve is disclosed, in which annular members facing the front and rear surfaces of a gate valve member having a through hole are coupled to a valve cage by inner and outer bellows, each of the annular members has an annular recess formed on the side facing the gate valve member and closed by an annular mirror surface finished thin plate secured by welding to an opening thereof, the individual bellows are elongated by fluid under pressure supplied into annular spaces defined by the inner and outer bellows, and the annular mirror surface finished thin plates are strongly urged against the gate valve member by the pressure of the fluid forced from the annular spaces into the annular recesses. Edge portions of the annular mirror surface finished thin plates are to be very firmly mounted to the annular members, and the mechanical strength of the thin plates is to be increased. The two annular mirror surface finished thin plates are to be simultaneously brought into contact with the front and rear surfaces of the gate valve member, and are to be urged against the gate valve member with a uniform pressure over the entire circumference.
