  • Patent number: RE29624
    Abstract: This invention relates to a fluid-distribution apparatus in which one main fluid inlet flow is divided substantially equally between a number of outlets for example as the feeding of a plurality of burners on a gas turbine engine from a single fuel supply. At low total flow rates the difference in height of the various outlets can adversely effect the equality of distribution of liquid between the outlets and it is known to provide a restrictor in series with each outlet to improve the flow division between the outlets. However, where there is a large range of flow rates, the simple restrictors which are effective at low flow rates will cause a very substantial pressure loss at high flow rates. Further a simple restrictor essentially involves a passage of small cross-section which can become blocked by solid particles within the liquid.

  • Patent number: RE29626
    Abstract: A progressing cavity, positive displacement rotary pump assembly for fluid or semi-fluid material. The assembly includes a rotary shaft with an associated drive motor and pump components including a tubular stator with an interior helical surface and an orbital rotor within the stator operably connected to the shaft and having an exterior helical surface. The helical rotor surface has one more thread than the helical stator surface which it engages, to define sealed pumping cavities that advance axially as the rotor rotates and orbits within the stator. The rotor is coupled to the shaft by a flexible torque tube with one end connected to the shaft and the other connected to an end of the rotor to transmit driving torque to the rotor and to flex sufficiently to accommodate orbital movement of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 4087869
    Abstract: A lavatory bench, or toilet, in which solid wastes are collected and biologically decomposed. The bench comprises a container beneath the seat and near the top of the container is a rotary member to which material is supplied and which, while rotating, distributes the material within the container. The container is advantageously heated. A casing is provided which supports the seat and which surrounds the container and from which there leads a lead stack, or outlet pipe. The rotation of the aforesaid member causes air circulation within the device and promotes the movement of air out through the outlet pipe. The rotatable member near the top of the container also serves the function of shutting off the inside of the container from view.

  • Patent number: 4087871
    Abstract: A ventilated toilet has a toilet bowl and a toilet seat hingedly mounted on the toilet bowl. A blower is mounted in a casing and includes a blower housing which has inlet and outlet ports at the inlet and outlet sides of the blower. The blower is mounted in the casing for pivoting between two positions in one of which a channel which extends between the blower housing and the internal space of the toilet bowl communicates with the inlet port so that the blower withdraws air from the internal space, and another position in which the channel communicates with the outlet port so that the blower forces air, which may be heated during its passage through the channel, into the internal space of the toilet bowl. The port which does not communicate with the channel simultaneously communicates with the ambient atmosphere.
