  • Verticle turbine pump
    Patent number: 5413459

The vertical shaft assembly has an impeller-rotating section, a drive-interfacing section, and a transfer section therebetween. The impeller assembly is mounted to the impeller-rotating section of the shaft assembly and the housing includes a diffuser-bowl section which interfaces with the impeller assembly.
