Patent number: 12092090Abstract: An electrically operated displacement pump includes an electric motor having a stator and a rotor. The rotor is connected to the fluid displacement member to drive axial reciprocation of the fluid displacement member. A drive mechanism is disposed between and connected to each of the rotor and the fluid displacement member. The drive mechanism receives a rotational output from the rotor and provides a linear input to the fluid displacement member. A controller controls operation of the motor based on an operating state of the motor to control pumping by the displacement pump.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2023Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Graco Minnesota Inc.Inventors: Bradley H. Hines, Paul W. Scheierl, Brian W. Koehn, Jacob D. Higgins, Benjamin J. Paar, David L. Fehr

Patent number: 11873802Abstract: A displacement pump has multiple gas compression stages and serial gas flow through the compression stages. The gas is initially compressed in a first compression stage by a first fluid displacement member. The gas from the first compression stage flows to a second compression stage. The gas in the second compression stage is compressed by a second fluid displacement member and output from the pump.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Graco Minnesota Inc.Inventors: Jacob D. Higgins, Benjamin J. Paar, Brian W. Koehn, Bradley H. Hines, Paul W. Scheierl

Patent number: 11079033Abstract: This disclosure concerns a check valve that prevents over compression of a gasket. The check valve comprises a valve housing, a valve cover, and a gasket that seals between the valve housing and the valve cover. A ball fits within the valve housing. The check valve further comprises a ball stop that limits compression of the gasket as the valve cover is tightened with respect to the valve housing. The ball stop serves as a standoff between the valve housing and the valve cover that allows some compression of the gasket as the valve cover is tightened with respect to the valve housing, but at some degree of tightening the incompressible engages both the valve cover and the valve housing to prevent further tightening. Over-compression distorts the gaskets, possibly compromising its sealing function and possibly damaging the gasket.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2020Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Graco Minnesota Inc.Inventors: Adam K. Collins, Jacob D. Higgins
