  • Patent number: 8590811
    Abstract: A device enables fluid pumps not specific to producing foam to be modified to be foam pumps by adding several elements to the pumps. The added elements include a supply conduit extending from an inlet of the pump to an elbow below the level of foaming liquid and hence rising above the level of the liquid to terminate in air. The supply conduit has a suction hole through which the liquid is sucked when air circulates in front of the hole. A foam discharge conduit connected to the pump outlet has a filtering grate. The foaming liquid includes water to produce foam without additional water. Additional grates and a removable extension grate are added optionally. Dimensions of the elements and dilution level of the foaming liquid are a function of the nature of the foam.
