Abstract
This disclosure discloses a shaker screen. The shaker screen comprises a frame and at least one screen layer supported by the frame for sieving materials. The frame comprises a rectangular outer support structure, at least one lateral inner support member, and at least one longitudinal inner support member. The lateral inner support member comprises an aperture, and the longitudinal inner support member comprises a groove on a side of the longitudinal inner support member. The lateral inner support member is engaged with the longitudinal inner support member by engaging the aperture on the lateral inner support member and the groove on the longitudinal inner support member.
Claims17
A frame for a shaker screen, comprising:
- a rectangular outer support structure, comprising two lateral outer support members and two longitudinal outer support members;
- at least one lateral inner support member, comprising a first aperture and coupled to the two longitudinal outer support members;
- and
- at least one longitudinal inner support member coupled to the two lateral outer support members,
- wherein the at least one longitudinal inner support member comprises a first groove on a first side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member and a second groove on a second side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member, wherein the second side is parallel to the first side,
- wherein the first aperture is engaged with the first groove and the second groove, such that the at least one lateral inner support member is engaged with the at least one longitudinal inner support member.
A shaker screen, comprising:
- a frame for the shaker screen, comprising:
- a rectangular outer support structure, comprising two lateral outer support members and two longitudinal outer support members;
- at least one lateral inner support member, comprising a first aperture and coupled to the two longitudinal outer support members;
- and
- at least one longitudinal inner support member coupled to the two lateral outer support members,
- wherein the at least one longitudinal inner support member comprises a first groove on a first side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member and a second groove on a second side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member, wherein the second side is parallel to the first side,
- wherein the first aperture is engaged with the first groove and the second groove, such that the at least one lateral inner support member is engaged with the at least one longitudinal inner support member;
- and
- at least one screen layer supported by the frame for sieving materials.
A method of forming a frame for a shaker screen comprising:
- providing a rectangular outer support structure comprising two lateral outer support members and two longitudinal outer support members;
- providing at least one lateral inner support member comprising a first aperture and coupled to the two longitudinal outer support members;
- providing at least one longitudinal inner support member comprising a first groove on a first side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member and a second groove on a second side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member, wherein the second side is parallel to the first side, wherein the at least one longitudinal inner support member is coupled to the two lateral outer support members;
- engaging the at least one lateral inner support member with the at least one longitudinal inner support member by interlocking the first aperture with the first groove and the second groove;
- and
- connecting the at least one lateral inner support member and the at least one longitudinal inner support member to the rectangular outer support structure to form a frame for the shaker screen.
A system, comprising:
- a shale shaker;
- and
- a shaker screen removably mounted to the shale shaker, wherein the shaker screen includes:
- a frame comprising:
- a rectangular outer support structure, comprising two lateral outer support members and two longitudinal outer support members;
- at least one lateral inner support member, comprising a first aperture and coupled to the two longitudinal outer support members;
- and
- at least one longitudinal inner support member coupled to the two lateral outer support members,
- wherein the at least one longitudinal inner support member comprises a first groove on a first side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member and a second groove on a second side of the at least one longitudinal inner support member, wherein the second side is parallel to the first side,
- wherein the first aperture is engaged with the first groove and the second groove, such that the at least one lateral inner support member is engaged with the at least one longitudinal inner support member;
- and
- at least one screen layer supported by the frame for sieving materials.
