- the wire mesh layers 131, 132, 133 may be adhered (adhesively, by sintering, and/or bonding) together.
- the rods 136 may be made of metal (e.g. steel, stainless steel, zinc, zinc alloys, aluminium, aluminium alloys, copper, copper alloys) plastic, composite or fiberglass.
- the rods 136 are substantially circular in cross-section, although it is envisaged that any suitable shape cross-section may be employed.
- Top bars 135 extend along two sides of the screen 130.
- Plugs 137 which are made of any suitable metal, plastic (e.g. urethane) , wood, fiberglass, or composite material and are held in place by a friction fit and/or suitable adhesive including but not limited to epoxy or glue (e.g. but not limited to commercially available 3M Jet Melt or 3M TS230) .
- front and rear edges 142, 143 of the screen 130 are encapsulated by the adhesive or glue (e.g. but not limited to urethane) .
- An adapter bar 140 has recesses 141 for receiving the rods 136 and a plurality of bolt holes 148 for attaching the adapter bar 140 to a typical part or wear or seal strip of known shakers.
- the rods 136 may be adhered to the recesses 141.
- bolts (not shown) may extend through a shaker basket and into the side of the adapter bar 140.
- Seal material e.g. rubber, plastic BUNA-N, etc.
- Seal material 144 may be used on top of the adapter bar 140.
- the wire mesh layers 131 and 132 are either 1, 2, or 3 mesh and the layer 133 is of a coarser mesh, e.g. 12 X 12 down to 8 X 8 (or between 8 X 12 and 12 X 8) . It is also within the scope of this invention for the layers 131, 132, 133 to be any mesh size.
- a screen 130 is made by bonding the layers 131 and 132 into a sheet with epoxy across substantially the entire surfaces of the layers ; then the resulting sheet is corrugated and the layer 133 is bonded to the sheet.
- the adapter bar 140 is bolted or otherwise fixed to a shaker.
- the wire mesh layers 131, 132, 133 and the rods 136 are then clamped between the top bar 135 and the adapter bar 140.
- the rods 136 inhibit flexing of the screen during use and increase the longevity of the screen, whilst at the same time reducing the effects of "blinding" .
- This arrangement also obviates the need for a frame and/or planar perforated plate to support the screen. It also obviates the need for fused plastic to bond the wire mesh layers together. It is also within the scope of this embodiment for there to be a second series of rods which extend transverse to the rods 136 to provide extra support therefor . Referring to Figs .
- a screen 260 which comprises wire mesh layers 261, 262, 263 (any or any two of which may be omitted) , corrugated rods 266, rods 265 underlying parts of the corrugated rods 266, and encapsulation material 269 (similar to that of the screen 130) which encapsulates front and rear edges of the wire mesh layers 261, 262, 263 and corrugated rods 266.

- the corrugated rods 266 increase the contact area with the screen 260. Therefore the weight of the screen 260 is not concentrated at the valleys thereof, which helps to reduce any local wearing effect that the rods may have on the screen 260. Further, this is achieved without "blinding" the screen anymore than the rods 136 blind the screen 130.

- a body 889 includes a shaker basket mounting bracket 891 with bolt holes 872 and holes 893 through which movably extends a rod 894 of the plunger 888.
- the rod 894 is pivotably secured to the bar 878 with a pin 896 and a distal end of the bar 878 is pivotably mounted about a pivot member 897.
- a spring 895 urges the plunger 888 downwardly and is biased to help maintain the apparatus in a releasable "locked” position.
- a spring stop 899 is on the rod 894.
