Filed:

Apr 8, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/409514

Inventors:

Gary R. Svihla - Chicago IL, US
Eric J. Duve - Riverside IL, US
John M. Carr - Chicago IL, US

Assignee:

General Motors Corporation - Detroit MI

International Classification:

F01D003/00

US Classification:

415104, 4152161, 415229, 416244 R

Abstract:

A turbocharger rotor has a turbine wheel and shaft, a compressor wheel and adapter and a separate thrust runner clamped together by a fastener rod. The adapter is piloted on the shaft and the thrust runner is piloted on the adapter, which has annular ends engaging the shaft and adapter for torque transmission between the turbine and compressor wheels. An anti-rotation coupling relates the phase angles of the shaft with the adapter and the thrust runner during assembly. Opposed radial thrust faces on the thrust runner and adapter are disposed at opposite ends of a compressor bearing journal on the adapter to allow placement of mating bearings on a single element of a turbocharger housing. Advantages include simplification of manufacture and assembly of the rotor in a turbocharger housing.

Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc. - La Grange IL

International Classification:

F01D025/24

US Classification:

415 584, 415206

Abstract:

A centrifugal compressor includes an annular inlet air recirculation channel having a smoothly variable cross section extending from a first slot at a forward end of the channel adjacent an inlet member to a second slot at a rearward end of the channel beyond an inlet end of a vaned compressor impeller. The channel is formed between an aerodynamic channel ring supported in a smooth annular recess formed in a compressor housing and the separate inlet member. The ring may be mounted by radial struts connected with the housing and located in an area of low momentum air flow. The channel ring and the channel recess may be machined or otherwise formed with smoothly variable surfaces prior to assembly of the ring into the housing. The channel may have a smoothly diminishing annular cross section for aerodynamically efficient air flow.

US Classification:

473228

Abstract:

A golf swing training device and a method of its use in an aquatic environment. The device includes a manually grippable handle secured to a shaft that has integrally secured thereto adjacent the handle a hydrodynamically adjustable paddle that may be manually physically altered to provide a variable resistance to a user that grips the handle and wings the golf swing training device through water that compresses the aquatic environment.

Assignee:

Hydro-Dredge Accessory Co. - Rosemont IL

International Classification:

F16L 2706

US Classification:

285 91

Abstract:

The improved dredge floating pontoon pipe-line ball joint disclosed is adapted for releasably connecting adjacent ends of two conduit sections which are part of a dredge line. The improved ball joint includes: a ball member secured to an end of one of the conduit sections; a socket member secured to an end of the other conduit section and adapted to fit about at least a portion of the ball member; and a ring mounted on the ball member and moveable with respect to and on the ball member so as to permit relative, universal movement between the two conduit sections. A plurality of retention pins are carried by the ring at spaced intervals about the ring and are utilized to retain the ring on the ball member particularly during assembly and disassembly of the improved joint. A novel cooperating hook member and lug arrangement is utilized for locking the ring and socket member together, and for interconnecting the ends of the conduit sections. This arrangement includes a novel means for preventing accidental unlocking of the ring and socket member during usage.

International Classification:

F16L 5900

US Classification:

285 47

Abstract:

An insulative coupling for coupling a first tube to a second tube for fluid flow therebetween. The coupling includes an insulative washer and an insulative bushing cooperating with a flange connector associated with one of the coupling body elements to provide an electrically insulative connection between the coupled tubes. An O-ring is utilized in conjunction with a face seal radially inwardly of the washer to provide a high pressure seal between the coupling elements. The washer and bushing include axially extending flange portions having snug fits with associated components of the coupling to provide for facilitated and accurate assembly.

International Classification:

F01M 13/02

Abstract:

A housing of a compressor for an internal combustion engine is provided. The housing includes a first air inlet portion. Further, housing includes a tubular wall defining an annular chamber along a circumference of the first air inlet portion. Tubular wall comprising a second air inlet portion. Housing further includes an opening formed in a wall of first air inlet portion, contiguously extending along the circumference of the first air inlet portion, to fluidly couple the annular chamber with the first air inlet portion. The opening being formed at an offset from the second air inlet portion. The opening defines a first edge and a second edge in the wall of the first air inlet portion. The first edge and the second edge are radially offset from each other with respect to a central axis of the first air inlet portion.
