Title:
【発明の名称】材料を輸送する方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH09508028
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A method of transporting material includes forming a structural encasement from the material and applying a force to the encasement to transport the material to a desired destination. The structural encasement allows for the transmission of applied forces through the encasement. A core material may be encased within the structural encasement so that both materials are transported together. Confinement forces are transmitted throughout the structural encasement to maintain the core material encased within the encasement. A preferred apparatus for practicing the method includes an inner nozzle for projecting core material and an outer nozzle surrounding the inner nozzle for projecting a hollow column of encasement material around the core material so that the core material is encased within the column. The outer nozzle further applies force to the column to direct the column and the encased core material to the desired destination. The column and the core material may constitute either the same or dissimilar materials and may be projected from the apparatus at either the same or different velocities.
