Publication number: 20090202366Abstract: An in-line motor and pump assembly is supported at the bottom of a fuel storage tank by a pipe and an internal concentric conduit for housing electrical conductors extending therewithin to the motor. An impeller, coaxial with the rotor of the motor, draws the fuel into an annular passageway surrounding the stator of the motor. Further passageways convey the fuel to an annular passageway defined between the pipe and the conduit for discharge external of the storage tank. A low pressure environment attendant the inflow of the fuel is used to channel fuel for lubrication and cooling purposes to a lower journal bearing and thrust bearing supporting a common shaft for the impeller and the motor. A high pressure environment attendant outflow of fuel is used to channel fuel for lubrication and cooling purposes to a journal bearing supporting the upper end of the shaft.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2009Publication date: August 13, 2009Applicant: VAPORLESS MANUFACTURING, INC.Inventors: Penrod Geisinger, Mark C. Johnson, Jason L. Addink, Scott D. Klopfenstein, Gregory E. Young

Patent number: 6604548Abstract: A safety valve limits but does not curtail flow of fluid from a source through the body of the safety valve upon release of a handle. A pivotable vane disposed within the body is urged to pivot from a first state not restricting fluid flow to a second state restricting fluid flow in response to the force of the fluid flow. A shaft supporting the vane is connected to the handle. Retaining the handle in a position commensurate with the first state of the vane will permit fluid flow through the safety valve, which fluid flow will become limited upon release of the handle due to a change in state of the vane.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2001Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: Vaporless Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Penrod Geisinger

Patent number: 6427516Abstract: A leak detector includes an off-center mounted metering pin cooperating with a single cross-hole in a poppet valve to accommodate adjustment of the flow rate past the metering pin by rotating the poppet valve about its longitudinal axis. A flow director, cooperating with the poppet valve, directs all flow into the leak detector directly into the line during initial flow into the leak detector. A piston, responsive to line pressure, is sized smaller in diameter than the poppet valve to cause the line pressure to increase rapidly and significantly during the leak sense mode and which size permits reduction in size and weight of the leak detector.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2001Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Vaporless Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Penrod Geisinger
