Abstract
A fluid diverging system provides a passageway for supplying a fluid from a single supply source to a plurality of sections requiring the use of the fluid and for discharging the fluid from these sections to a single discharge portion. The fluid diverging system includes a plurality of fluid diverging blocks separably connected to one another longitudinally in a row. Each of the blocks has a through-hole longitudinally passed therethrough, and a communication passage communicating with the through-hole and capable of being connected to external fluid transfer means. Joint means connecting these blocks enable a fluid-tight communication of these blocks with one another. This makes it possible to use the fluid diverging system in an optical form only by increasing or decreasing the number of the fluid diverging blocks in accordance with an increase or decrease in number of the section requiring the use of the fluid.
