  • Patent number: 10626864
    Abstract: A pump assembly (10) that is provided with compressed air to drive the pump. The pump assembly (10) includes a pair of chambers (11, 12), with each of the chambers (11, 12) being divided into sub-chambers (13, 14 and 15, 16). A piston assembly (17) divides the chamber (11) into sub-chambers (13 and 14), while a second piston assembly (18) divides the chamber (12) into sub-chambers (15 and 16).

  • Patent number: 10125757
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump (10) including a body (11) that provides a pair of opposed pump chambers (12) and (13). Mounted in the body (11) is a piston assembly (14) providing a pair of pistons (15) joined by a transverse piston rod (16) so that the pistons (15) are caused to reciprocate in unison linearly in the direction (17) along the axis (18). Each piston (15) includes a diaphragm (22) that provides a first sub-chamber (23) and a second sub-chamber (24). A working fluid (liquid or gas) under pressure is alternately delivered to the sub-chambers (23) to cause the piston assembly (14) to reciprocate. A valve (25) is operated to co-ordinate delivery of the fluid under pressure or alternately to the first sub-chambers (23).

  • Publication number: 20170130581
    Abstract: An air motor (10) that has opposing chambers (16, 17) to which compressed air is alternatively delivered to drive the motor (10). The motor (10) has a primary valve (52) that governs deli very of the compressed air to the chambers (16, 17) so at least part of the compressed air is transferred to the other chamber to aid in driving the pistons (18).

  • Patent number: 9598958
    Abstract: An air motor (10) that receives compressed air in order to be driven. The air motor (10) includes a valve assembly (11) with a base (12) of a unitary construction. The base (12) has opposite side faces (13) to which there is sealingly attached caps (14) that in cooperation with flexible diaphragms (15) provide working chambers (15, 16).

  • Patent number: 8967036
    Abstract: A diaphragm pump (10) having a pump body (11) providing opposing pump chambers (12, 13). Mounted in the body is a piston assembly (14) having pistons (15) joined by a piston rod (16). Each piston (15) is sealingly connected to the body (11) by a diaphragm (22) so that each of the chambers (12, 13) is divided into a first and a second sub-chamber, with the flow of fluid being pumped is governed by a pair of valves (30). Each valve (30) includes a base (31) to which there is movably attached a movable valve member (35).
