Patent number: 6746637Abstract: A method for making an injection molded multilayer polymer pump diaphragm having one side resistant to chemicals. The method can include injecting molten polymer material of a first type having chemical resistance properties into a first pump diaphragm mold cavity to produce a first pump diaphragm layer; curing the first pump diaphragm layer; applying an adhesive to one side of the first pump diaphragm layer; placing the first pump diaphragm layer in a second pump diaphragm mold cavity sized to receive an amount of a second type of polymer material against the adhesive painted side of the first pump diaphragm layer; injecting molten polymer material of the second type into the second pump diaphragm mold cavity into contact with the adhesive to produce a second pump diaphragm layer adhered to first pump diaphragm layer; and curing the second pump diaphragm layer such that said first and second pump diaphragm layers adhere together to form a pump diaphragm having one side which is resistant to chemicals.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 1999Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies CorporationInventors: Howard Huss, Eldon Eady, James Varney

Patent number: 6467185Abstract: A potted timer and circuit board assembly for use in a regenerative desiccant air dryer. The potted timer and circuit board assembly comprise a support member of a predetermined size and shape having a first surface and a second surface. A conductive pattern of a predetermined material and thickness is disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the support member. A predetermined quantity and arrangement of electronic components of a predetermined voltage is disposed on at least one of the first surface and the second surface of the support member for providing a timed electronic signal to a solenoid valve that pneumatically operates an air dryer. A non-conductive material of a predetermined composition encases the electronic components on the support member for insulating the electronic components from environmental elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2000Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies CorporationInventors: Matthew D. Mitsch, James Varney

Patent number: 6419465Abstract: A shaft extension for attachment to a crankshaft of an electric motor driven air compressor to axially extend the crankshaft for engagement with an outboard rotational bearing. The electric motor driven air compressor includes a bearing plate, an inboard rotational bearing mounted on the bearing plate, the crankshaft projecting through both of the inboard rotational bearing and the bearing plate and terminating in a distal end disposed exterior of the bearing plate. The air compressor also includes an electric motor, the electric motor having a stator frame, a stator fixedly mounted within the stator frame, and a rotor fixedly mounted to the crankshaft for rotation therewith and disposed interior of the stator. The air compressor further includes the outboard rotational bearing disposed axially outboard of the stator frame, the stator, and the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: July 16, 2002Assignee: Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies CorporationInventors: Walter E. Goettel, Roger Drummond, Ronald Shaffer, James Varney, Brian L. Cunkelman

Patent number: 6376950Abstract: A combined bearing plate and stator frame for an air compressor powered by an electric motor. The air compressor includes a crankshaft rotationally supported by a rotational bearing, and the electric motor includes a rotor and a stator substantially surrounding the rotor. The rotor is mounted on a portion of the crankshaft for rotation therewith. The combined bearing plate and stator frame is adapted for integration into the air compressor so as to provide a bearing plate for mounting of the rotational bearing and a stator frame for mounting of the stator therein and an aligning the stator with the rotor mounted on the portion of the crankshaft. The combined bearing plate and stator frame includes a bearing plate member and a stator frame member, the bearing plate member and the stator frame member being integrally formed from a single piece of material.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies CorporationInventors: James Varney, Walter E. Goettel, Ronald Shaffer, Brian L. Cunkelman

Patent number: 6364635Abstract: An endplate for attachment to a stator frame of an electric motor used to drive an air compressor. The air compressor has a crankshaft rotationally supported by at least one rotational bearing, and the electric motor includes the stator frame, a stator element mounted to and within the stator frame, and a rotor element rigidly mounted on a portion of the crankshaft for rotation therewith. The crankshaft projects through the stator element and terminates in a distal end. The endplate is adapted for mounting to the stator frame so as to provide support for mounting an additional rotational bearing for rotationally supporting the distal end of the crankshaft on an opposite side of the rotor from the at least one rotational bearing.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2000Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies CorporationInventors: Walter E.

Patent number: 6085789Abstract: The present invention provides a lightweight sleeve and spool arrangement for use in certain pumps. Such lightweight sleeve and spool arrangement comprises a sleeve having a predetermined number of apertures and having a predetermined interior diameter. The sleeve is formed from a first predetermined plastic material selected from a group consisting of nylons, acetals, polysulfones, polyesters, polyetherimides and polyamide-imines. There is also a spool that has a predetermined configuration and a predetermined exterior diameter. Such predetermined exterior diameter being about 0.0005 inches smaller than the predetermined interior diameter of such sleeve.
