  • Patent number: 6764597
    Abstract: A filter external to a tank, including a vessel, a lid for closing the vessel, a basket disposed in the vessel for housing filtering components, a top wall bearing sealingly in a central part of the lid allowing communication with the central part, a water-circulating pump disposed in the central part, and means for automatically removing air from a water delivery side, wherein the water is conveyed through the lid by first piping passing through the lid, the water moving down into the vessel on an outside of the basket, entering the basket via a bottom of the basket, passing upward through the basket over the filtering components and leaving the basket at a top of the basket in the central part to be sucked up by the pump and delivered to second piping passing through the lid toward a pipe delivering to the tank.

  • Patent number: 5066204
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump intended to pump gases or highly-volatile liquids include a vibrating arm (6) acting on a diaphragm (5) placed into oscillation by a fixed electromagnet (7) fed with alternating or direct electric current. The vibrating arm (6) is composed of a single piece of plastic material, with an enlarged head (11) integrally molded with at least one permanent magnet (9) located opposite electromagnet (7). Opposite the head (11), the vibrating arm (6) has an elastically deformable part (12) attaching the arm to pump housing (1).

  • Patent number: 5039286
    Abstract: A centrifugal pump, intended for pumping liquids, includes a impeller (1) connected in rotation to a rotor (7) with a permanent magnet that is part of a synchronous motor. The rotor (7) which has an axial clearance (L) is accommodated in a cylindrical housing (10) that is part of the body (9) of stator (8) of the motor. To orient the drive direction (F) of rotor (7) on the starting of the pump, complementary configurations are provided on the front face of rotor (7) away from impeller (1) and at the bottom of housing (10). These configurations comprise helicoidal surfaces (14, 16) connected at their ends by notches (15, 17).
