Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vacuum double structure includes: a tubular and metal inner wall member; a tubular and metal outer wall member in which the inner wall member is accommodated; and a sealing member provided between a facing surface of the inner wall member and a facing surface of the outer wall member. The sealing member includes an annular spacer, a first annular packing material, and a second annular packing material. The annular spacer is provided between the facing surface of the inner wall member and the facing surface of the outer wall member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A vacuum double structure comprising: a tubular and metal inner wall member; a tubular and metal outer wall member in which the inner wall member is accommodated; and a sealing member provided between a facing surface of the inner wall member and a facing surface of the outer wall member, wherein the sealing member includes an annular spacer, a first annular packing material, and a second annular packing material; the annular spacer is provided between the facing surface of the inner wall member and the facing surface of the outer wall member; the first annular packing material is accommodated in a first groove formed on a first opposed surface of the spacer with respect to the facing surface of the inner wall member and abuts with the facing surface of the inner wall member; the second annular packing material is accommodated in a second groove formed on a second opposed surface of the spacer with respect to the facing surface of the outer wall member and abuts with the facing surface of the outer wall member; and the sealing member maintains a space between the inner wall member and the outer wall member in a vacuum state. 2 . The vacuum double structure according to claim 1 , wherein: the spacer is a member made of resin and having elasticity; and the spacer is supported by a metal belt-shaped ring provided on an inner peripheral surface of the spacer and a metal belt-shaped ring provided on an outer peripheral surface of the spacer. 3 . A heat treat furnace comprising: a first vacuum double structure according to claim 1 ; and a second vacuum double structure according to claim 1 , wherein the heat treat furnace has a structure in which a flange portion of an inner wall member of the first vacuum double structure and a flange portion of an inner wall member of the second vacuum double structure are placed to face each other via a third annular packing material.
