Abstract: A multiple reciprocating pump such as a triple diaphragm or piston pump has a drive shaft (28), a plurality of reciprocating rods (48a, 48b, 48c) arranged in parallel with one another at one side of the drive shaft (28) and capable of reciprocating in accordance with rotation of the drive shaft (28); Displaceable members (56a, 56b, 56c) such as diaphragms or pistons secured to the ends of the reciprocating members (48a, 48b, 48c) and defining wall members of pump chambers (54a, 54b, 54c). The wall members (56a, 56b, 56c) are displaceable in accordance with the reciprocating movement of the reciprocating members (48a, 48b, 48c) so as to vary the volumes of the pump chambers (54a, 54b, 54c) thereby sucking in and discharging a liquid. The reciprocating members (48a, 48b; 48b, 48c) which are adjacent to each other in the direction of axis of the drive shaft (28) have different lengths.

Abstract: A dual cylinder hydraulically operated pump for viscous materials is described. The pump comprises a pair of pistons reciprocable in parallel cylinders opening into a common inlet and outlet housing in which the outlet valve seats are angled with respect to the principal cylinder axes and the inlet valve seat are angled with respect to the cylinder plane, that is the plane extending between the cylinder center lines.

Abstract: A magnetically-actuated, motorized pump includes a plurality of cylinders extending at radially-spaced intervals between first and second heads. Each cylinder reciprocably receives a piston assembly including a pair of permanent magnets with outwardly-extending poles. Inlet and outlet valves are each provided at opposite ends of the cylinders. First and second rotors are each rotatably mounted at a respective end of the pump outside of a respective head. Each rotor includes a concentric ring comprising alternating permanent magnets and electromagnets for reciprocating the piston assemblies. Perimeter magnets are provided on the first rotor and the first head for interacting whereby rotary motion is imparted to the rotors. The electromagnets are actuated by an electrical distribution system.

Abstract: The unit comprises three liquid intensifiers, coupled together in juxtaposition, and fixed between a pair of plates. A support plate at the one end of the intensifiers mounts a rotary valve which, sequentially, supplies operative, low-pressure fluid to the intensifiers. A base plate at the other end of the intensifiers admits liquid into each thereof, for pressure intensification of the liquid by the intensifiers, and provides a common outlet port for the pressurized liquid.

Abstract: In an in-line type fuel injection pump, the pump housing is formed with a plurality of pump accommodating spaces arranged in a line, each of which accommodates a pump assembly including a plunger barrel and a plunger slidably fitted therein, and adjacent ones of which are separated from each other by a partition wall portion extending therebetween. A plurality of fuel passages are formed in the pump housing, which extend from the outer wall surface of the pump housing to respective ones of the partition wall portions. Each of the fuel passages has an interior diameter larger than the width of the corresponding partition wall portion so that the inner end of the fuel passage opens in both of the two adjacent pump accommodating spaces to communicate them with each other. On the other hand, the outer end of each of the fuel passages opens in the outer wall surface of the pump housing. Part of the fuel passages serve as fuel intake passages, and the other as fuel retain passages, respectively.

Abstract: A high pressure liquid pumping system having means for selecting multiple output pressures and capacities and comprising a motor with a pair of pumps operatively coupled thereto. Each pump is coupled to the motor by a separate coupling means, with one pump being normally drivably coupled to the motor, and with the second pump being intermittently coupled to the motor.A first selector switch means engages the motor, while a second selector switch means is utilized to energize a clutch to couple the second pump to the motor when higher output pressures and capacities are desired.
