A thermal storage type gas treating apparatus has a high sealing performance while achieving a simple apparatus construction. The thermal storage type gas treating apparatus includes a valve member rotatable to place successively a supply port for a gas to be treated and an exhaust port for a treated gas formed in the valve member, in an opposed and communicating relationship with supply and exhaust ports formed in a distributor, thereby successively passing gas to be treated and treated gas through a plurality of thermal storage chambers communicating at one end with a combustion chamber. The valve member is supported to be displaceable toward and away from the distributor. A valve biasing device is provided for pressing the valve body to the distributor, while being inoperative with respect to a gas chamber device.

A paint mist removing apparatus having a first liquid shooting section formed in a constricted passage of air laden with overspray paint mist. The first liquid shooting section scatters cleaning water from opening edges of a passage inlet of the constricted passage into an air flow passing through said constricted passage. The paint mist removing apparatus further includes an upwardly facing inclined surface for receiving the passing objects under the passage inlet, a downwardly facing surface continuous from a lower edge of the upwardly facing inclined surface, a curved section disposed between the upwardly facing inclined surface and the downwardly facing surface for deflecting the air flowing through the constricted passage toward the downwardly facing surface. The curved section for causing the cleaning water flowing down the upwardly facing inclined surface to scatter again toward the air in the constricted passage under the downwardly facing surface acts as a second liquid shooting section. The present apparatus also provides hollow spaces defined at opposite sides of an air path from the passage inlet under the opening edges of the constricted passage.

A paint sludge separator tank includes a sludge drain formed on an upper end of a reservoir region for discharging paint sludge floating on a surface of stored liquid, and a liquid feeder for feeding paint-containing liquid to an upper position of the reservoir region horizontally spaced from the sludge drain. The liquid feeder includes a feed hopper defining a sectional passage area progressively enlarging toward an upper delivery opening thereof communicating with the upper position of the reservoir region. The feed hopper has a liquid supply passage connected to a lower position thereof.
