  • Patent number: 4828464
    Abstract: In a diaphragm pump including a first chamber for liquid to be pumped separated from a second chamber for drive fluid by a diaphragm which is driven by a piston alternatively placing the drive fluid under pressure and releasing the pressure from the drive fluid, a signal generator or magnet is located in the diaphragm while a signal detector is located within the pump housing to enable detection of displacement of the diaphragm and, accordingly, the displaced volume of the diaphragm pump. Detection of the displaced volume is used by a regulator to generate a drive signal which, in turn, is used to drive a motor operator connected to a pressure relief valve to control drive fluid pressure and, accordingly, the displaced volume.

  • Patent number: 4744516
    Abstract: There is disclosed herein a liquid spray gun which includes an improved heat dissipation system and an improved leakage flow recirculating system.The improved heat dissipation system results from an improved and stronger air flow through the gun housing and around the electromagnetic coils. The improved air flow is created by a venturi or aspiration effect at the spray tip created by the action of the piston pump in spraying liquid at high velocity reducing the air pressure adjacent the tip. The internal portion of the housing communicates with the low pressure area so air in the housing is drawn from the housing to the low pressure area. Vents are provided in the housing adjacent the electromagnetic coils for outside air to be drawn into said housing over said coils and to the low pressure area, thus improving air flow and heat dissipation.

  • Patent number: 4720801
    Abstract: The paint throughput quantity of a motor-driven throughput control valve of a paint spraygun is set such that first, a sequence of assignments between throughput quantity values and electric valve motor actuation signals is produced and input into a microcomputer as an approximation table. By selecting the desired value of throughput quantity, the microcomputer is then initialized to supply the tabularly-appertaining actuation signal to the valve motor as a control signal and to therefore approximately set the throughput control valve to the desired reference value. Finally, the throughput quantity is continuously measured during paint flow through the throughput valve and the measured values are supplied to the microcomputer as actual values, the microcomputer then supplying regulating signals to the valve motor on the basis of a comparision between the reference values and the actual values and therefore continuously readjusting the throughput control valve to the reference value.

  • Patent number: 4574988
    Abstract: A pressure vessel for storing and delivering liquid under pressure which includes a housing, a removable cover on the housing, and a seal between the housing and the cover providing a liquid-tight and air-tight seal. Locking elements cooperate between the cover and the housing to provide a bayonet type lock therebetween. The vessel is provided with a manually unlockable excess pressure valve in the cover, the valve having a seating face arranged to be seated against a valve seat and the cover and a spring which urges the valve seating face into such seated relation. The structure is also provided for locking the valve seating face in unseated relation against the action of the spring means.

  • Patent number: 4550266
    Abstract: A reciprocating armature motor for electrically driving equipment such as a piston pump for a paint spray gun or a diaphragm compressor characterized by a stator having a solenoid, an armature pivotally mounted at one end to the stator and having a second end acting upon a member of the equipment to be actuated to move the member back and forth along a path when the armature moves relative to the stator with a reciprocating motion and an arrangement for controlling the reciprocating motor of the armature including a coupling link forming a positive link between the armature and a stationary element which coupling link moves depending on the reciprocating motion of the armature. In one embodiment, the coupling link is composed of a pair of pivotally connected arms forming an articulated link which interconnect the armature to the stationary element and coact with a stop to limit the movement of the armature toward the stator.

  • Patent number: 4511074
    Abstract: An electrically-operated manual device, such as a nail driver, has an electric motor for actuating an axially-movable impact body. The motor is a vibrating armature AC motor having a single-sided movably arranged vibrating armature which, in dependence of the power supply frequency, acts with a high impact frequency on a low-mass impact body. The impact body is located in a stationary cylinder connected to a housing of the device and has a detachable adapter sleeve which receives a plunger activated via the impact body on a part to be driven. The configuration of the device makes it possible to construct a nail driver or the like with an extremely compact structure since the cylinder equipped with the impact body can be arranged immediately adjacent the vibrating armature AC motor. The power losses are negligible because the vibrating armature, swinging about an axis, acts directly on the low-mass impact body.
