Patent number: 6089841Abstract: A crescent pump including a housing having an inlet port and a discharge port, a driving gear, and a driven gear meshing with driving gear in a gap between the inlet and the discharge ports. External and internal troughs on the driving and the driven gears define pump chambers. A stationary crescent-body has a pair of arc-shaped walls which cooperate with the tips of the external and the internal gear teeth thereon in defining fluid seals. The edges of an inlet ramp at an upstream end of the crescent body and the edges of a discharge ramp at a downstream end of the crescent body define inner and outer upstream and downstream metering orifices which close and open in complementary fashion to maintain constant the rate of fluid leakage from the discharge port toward the inlet port. A pair of shaped metering grooves in the pump housing cooperate in defining a flow path between the discharge port and the inlet port through a succession of trapped volumes between the driving and the driven gears.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1998Date of Patent: July 18, 2000Assignee: General Motors CorporationInventors: Paul Richard Meernik, Liping L.

Patent number: 5466137Abstract: A roller gerotor device is disclosed including an outer rotor (39) and an inner rotor (31), and a plurality of rollers (37) serving as teeth. The device includes a housing means (11,45,47) defining a first wear surface (67) disposed axially adjacent first axial end surfaces (55,63) of the rotors.

Patent number: 4636153Abstract: A rotary compressor has a plurality of vanes which are slidably disposed in radial slots of a rotor to define fluid chambers in cooperation with a cylindrical housing. The radially innermost end of each vane, rotor and opposite ends of the housing define a back-pressure chamber which is supplied with a pressure during a suction stroke for maintaining the associated vane in sealing contact with the inner wall of the housing. Each of opposite ends of the housing has a unique configuration which damps the pressure in the back-pressure chamber when the chamber is fluidly isolated from a source of the pressure supply during a compression stroke, thereby eliminating excessive friction between the vane and the housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 1984Date of Patent: January 13, 1987Assignee: Diesel Kiki Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Ishizuka, Teruo Nakamura

Patent number: 4105376Abstract: A hydraulic vane-type pump or motor comprising a housing and a stator defining a rotor chamber, and a rotor for rotation in said chamber on a shaft extending axially through said housing. To prevent gouging of the walls of the rotor chamber by the sharp peripheral edges of the rotor, the rotor sidewalls are ground or offset in the area of the peripheral edges to provide sufficient clearance between the rotor sidewalls and the chamber walls. The rotor is offset to a lesser depth beginning at a point radially inwardly from the outer peripheral edge toward the center thereof to minimize excessive oil leakage normally associated with rotors which are milled to prevent gouging.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1977Date of Patent: August 8, 1978Assignee: Applied Power, Inc.Inventor: Allan E.
