  • Patent number: 5738495
    Abstract: A device for constant, automatic regulation of water pressure and flow in a water supply plant, comprising an electric pump fitted in the main water pipe, an adjustable pressure switch connected to the main water pipe, and an electronic control unit, which switches the pump on if the pressure falls short of a predetermined level or switches it off if a predetermined pressure level is exceeded. The device is characterized in that a turbine, incorporated in the water pipe, acts as a sensor, cooperating with a rotation signal transmitter which is connected to the electronic control unit in order to keep the pump switched on as long as the sensor detects a flow of water.

  • Patent number: 5672049
    Abstract: The device comprises: a branch (5) from the outlet (M) of the pump to a cavity (7) partially delimited by a membrane (14); a moving element (16, 22, 24) in a casing (9); a spring (36) pushing said element (16, 22, 24) toward the membrane (14) and capable of yielding under the action of a relatively restricted pressure of the water which reaches said cavity (7) and acts on the membrane; and moving electrical contacts (26) on said element (16, 22, 24), interacting with fixed contacts (28) of a supply circuit of the pump, to enable the pump to be switched on and to switch it off in the absence of pressure acting on the membrane (14).
