Patent number: 5060760Abstract: A device for feeding grease to the bearings of a rotary machine comprising a stator and a rotor, the device comprising injectors for injecting grease into said bearings, the injectors being controlled by an electronic control circuit which has inputs receiving signals from sensors for sensing parameters characteristic of the operating state of the bearings. The injectors are connected to a supply of grease under pressure and comprise injector blocks each connected to a respective bearing feeder channel. The sensors are pressure and temperature sensors, and the electronic circuit includes a clock and generates injection cycles as a function of a preestablished program, taking account of the information provided by the sensors and by the operating time of the bearings.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1990Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Alcatel CitInventors: Jacques Long, Denis Perrillat-Amede

Patent number: 4887941Abstract: A method of starting series-coupled vacuum pumps comprising a primary pump (A) and at least one secondary pump (B) connected between the primary pump and an enclosure (E) in which a vacuum is to be established, the method consisting in starting the primary pump initially and subsequently starting the secondary pump when the suction pressure of the primary pump as reduced by rotation of the primary pump reaches an acceptable value, the method being characterized in that the pressure existing in the secondary pump is determined by using a physical magnitude related to the primary pump and following a law similar to the pressure law.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 1988Date of Patent: December 19, 1989Assignee: Societe anonyme dite: Alcatel CitInventors: Jean-Marie Crinquette, Jacques Long

Patent number: 4407641Abstract: The pump comprises a pump stator (5), an electric motor stator (4), and a rotor (6) that constitutes the rotor both of the pump and of the electric motor. The pump stator comprises a tubular non-magnetic lining to the electric motor stator, and the rotor is mounted excentrically inside said tubular lining and is equipped with radially movable vanes (63) that co-operate with said lining to provide pumping action when the rotor rotates. The arrangement is particularly applicable to oil-sealed vacuum pumps, and has the advantage of being more compact than units of similar performance, but equipped with a pump and a motor that are separate and interconnected by a mechanical coupling, as is conventional practice.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1981Date of Patent: October 4, 1983Assignee: Societe Anonyme dite: Compagnie Industrielle des Telecommunications Cit-AlcatelInventor: Jacques Long
