  • Patent number: 6164943
    Abstract: An internal geared wheel pump that does not have a crescent shaped piece. The pump has an internal geared wheel that meshes with a pinion. The pinion and geared wheel are mounted in a rotatable manner in a housing that has a suction connection and a pressure connection. The geared wheel has passages that produce each time a conductive connection between the base of the tooth and the envelope surface of the geared wheel. Conductive connections are produced between the bearing flanks of the teeth of the geared wheel or the teeth of the pinion and the radial boreholes of the geared wheel.

  • Patent number: 6095782
    Abstract: A crescentless internal gear pump includes a housing with an intake connection and a pressure connection. An internally toothed internal gear has an outside surface and is disposed for rotation within the housing. Each tooth includes a head and a base, the internal gear having radial openings that form a conducting connection between a tooth base and the outside surface. A pinion, which is rotatably disposed within the housing and meshing with the internal gear, has teeth with each tooth including a head. The teeth of one of the internal gear and pinion, includes a profile groove with a base provided in the heads into which a sealing element is disposed and which slides on an opposing tooth head. The sealing element has a sealing surface and includes a channel that produces a conducting connection between the profile groove base and the sealing surface. The sealing element is slightly movable in the profile groove in the radial direction to form a controlled gap.

  • Patent number: 5582514
    Abstract: A sickleless internal gear pump with an internally toothed ring gear and a pinion meshing with the ring gear, the two fitted rotatably in a common casing. The ring gear includes radial conduits for the medium to be pumped and elements which are radially movably fitted in grooves in the tooth heads of the ring gear or pinion. The sealing elements slide on the opposing tooth head of the pinion or ring gear and include control spaces on which pressure is applied from the rear.
