Filed:

Jun 7, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/490815

Inventors:

Joseph Ervin Middleton - Dix Hills NY, US
David Lionel Rawlings - Sound Beach NY, US

Assignee:

FLUID METERING, INC. - Syosset NY

International Classification:

F01B 9/00

US Classification:

921691

Abstract:

A pump, which generally includes a pump housing and a pump piston. The pump housing defines a central longitudinal bore, a transverse bore communicating with the central bore for conveying a liquid through the pump housing, a liquid reservoir communicating with the central bore and the transverse bore for retaining an amount of the liquid conveyed through the transverse bore and a pressure relief slot extending from the transverse bore to the liquid reservoir. The pump piston is axially and rotatably slidable within the central longitudinal bore for pumping the liquid through the transverse bore.

International Classification:

F04B 49/00
F04B 17/03

Abstract:

An electronic angle adjustment mechanism for a pump and a motor generally includes a base and a linear actuator. The base has an upper portion mounted to a motor, a lower portion mounted to a pump, and a hinge for pivotably moving the upper base portion in relation to the lower base portion. The linear actuator is mounted to on an attachment plate that also attaches the motor to the upper base portion. The linear actuator can drive a flexible member or connect to a gear wheel or worm screw to pivot about the hinge and change an angle between the upper and lower base portions.

International Classification:

F04B 7/06
F04B 9/02

Abstract:

A liquid pump having a pump liner and a pump piston, wherein the pump liner defines a central longitudinal bore and a transverse inlet bore communicating with the central bore for conveying a liquid. The pump piston has a centerline intersecting with a centerline of the transverse inlet bore, and further has a flat surface formed parallel with the piston centerline at a distal end of the piston. The flat surface defines a cut-out portion of the piston, wherein the cut-out portion has a hydraulic diameter equal to the diameter of the transverse inlet bore of the liner, and a distance from the centerline of the piston to the flat surface defining the cut-out portion is greater than or equal to of the diameter of the transverse inlet bore of the liner.
