Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An oil catch apparatus is provided. The oil catch apparatus is capable of efficiently extracting oil from air flowing through the oil catch apparatus while being of compact size. A filter of the oil catch apparatus includes a cylindrically wound main filter unit and a keep member for keeping both ends of the main filter unit. Air flowing into the main filter unit is cleared of impurities upon passing through the main filter unit, and exits out of the main filter unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What we claim is: 1. An oil catch apparatus, comprising: a main unit, a lid configured to cover an opening in the main unit, a filter located inside of the main unit, a buffer arranged to support the filter, and a cylindrical member configured to be attached to the lid, wherein the filter includes a cylindrically wound main filter unit and a keep member configured to keep both ends of the main filter unit, air passing through the main filter unit is cleared of impurities and exits from a peripheral surface of the main filter unit, the buffer includes a buffer member configured to cover up a portion of the main filter unit on a side opposite to an air inflow side, and one side of the cylindrical member is coupled to the drain outlet and the other side of the cylindrical member is detachably mounted on a stop formed on the lid. 2. The oil catch apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the main filter unit is formed from winding a network stainless material cylindrically and an inside polyester mesh. 3. The oil catch apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the buffer includes a buffer member configured to cover up a portion of the main filter unit on a side opposite to an air inflow side. 4. The oil catch apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the main unit includes an exhaust opening for air from which impurities have been removed to exit from the peripheral surface of the main filter unit, and the lid includes an inlet and a drain outlet arranged to permit draining out impurities. 5. The oil catch apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the main unit includes an exhaust opening for air from which impurities have been removed to exit from the peripheral surface of the main filter unit, and the lid includes an inlet and a drain outlet arranged to permit draining out impurities. 6. The oil catch apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the main unit includes an exhaust opening for air from which impurities have been removed to exit from the peripheral surface of the main filter unit, and the lid includes an inlet and a drain outlet arranged to permit draining out impurities.
