Plate filter press with adjustable end plate
First Claim
1. In a plate filter press having a machine frame;
- a plurality of filter plates arranged in a face-to-face series and mounted to be movable towards and away from one another in the longitudinal direction of the filter press;
a closing device carried by a closing yoke mounted on the machine frame to be movable in the longitudinal direction;
a pressure plate disposed at one end of the filter plate series and being connected to the closing yoke and mounted on the machine frame to be movable in the longitudinal direction;
an end plate disposed at the other end of the filter plate series;
coupling means connecting the end plate to a component of the closing device;
the closing device, when energized, pressing the filter plates by the closing yoke and the pressure plate to one another and against the end plate;
the improvement comprising(a) means for pivotally and linearly displaceably supporting said end plate to allow an angular displacement of said end plate with respect to said longitudinal direction and to allow a shift of said end plate in said longitudinal direction;
(b) a traverse rigidly connected with the machine frame; and
(c) a spherical thrust bearing constituting said coupling means and having a seat member and a head member received in said seat member;
one of said members engaging said end plate and the other of said members engaging said traverse;
said closing device, when energized, pressing said end plate against said traverse with the intermediary of said closing yoke, said pressure plate and said filter plate series.

Abstract
A plate filter press has a plurality of filter plates arranged in a face-to-face series and mounted to be movable towards and away from one another in the longitudinal direction of the filter press. The latter further has a closing device carried by a closing yoke mounted to be movable in the longitudinal direction; a pressure plate disposed at one end of the filter plate series and connected to the closing yoke and mounted to be movable in the longitudinal direction; and an end plate disposed at the other end of the filter plate series. The closing device, when energized, presses the filter plates by the closing yoke and the pressure plate to one another and against the end plate. The end plate is pivotally and linearly displaceably supported to allow its angular displacement with respect to the longitudinal direction and to further allow its shifting in the longitudinal direction.
