Publication number: 20040096339Abstract: The present invention provides a high-pressure blower comprising a fan arrangement which includes a fan (82), and a fan housing (83) for conveying working air. An electromotor drives the fan (82) via a motor shaft (72) with means for motor self-ventilation by generating a cooling air stream flowing through the motor by means of a cooling wheel driven by the rotor. A wall section (70) separates the interior space of the fan housing (83) accommodating the fan (82) airtight from the interior space of the blower accommodating the electromotor (2) so that the cooling air stream flowing through the electromotor is separated and independent of the air flow of the working air conveyed to the fan (82).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2002Publication date: May 20, 2004Inventors: Bernhard Bamberger, Dieter Best, Birgit Brausch, Martin Buerkert, Erich Fiedler, Helmut Lipp, Friedrich Schaffert, Reinhard Stillger

Publication number: 20030129065Abstract: An air compressor, air storage, and high pressure cleaning machine structure comprised of an air compression and air storage mechanism and a high pressure cleaning mechanism that are powered by a single electric motor in an integrated arrangement, wherein the two protruding ends of a main shaft in the electric motor are inserted into a unidirectional bearing, following which they are respectively coupled to the air compression, air storage mechanism and the high pressure cleaning mechanism. The two mechanisms are installed on a foldable two-section wheeled frame and the user controls the electric motor with a toggle switch to selectively deviate the main shaft in the electric motor towards one of the two unidirectional bearings such that said electric motor drives either the air compression and air storage mechanism or the high pressure cleaning mechanism. As such, the two-in-one arrangement effectively reduces space occupancy and facilitates operating convenience.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2002Publication date: July 10, 2003Inventor: Ming-Kuo Hu

Patent number: 6464471Abstract: A high-efficiency motor/pump system (20) for jetted baths/spas includes a pump assembly (22) removably secured to a motor assembly (24). The motor assembly (24) includes a motor (26) having a conventional laminated stator (30), a front housing (32) at the forward end of the motor (26), a rear housing (34) at the back end of the motor (26), and a ventilation plate (36) at the end of the rear housing (34). An armature-mounted internal fan (104) draws ambient air through openings in a ventilation plate (36) and forces the air through annular channels (80) in the rear housing (34) to effect cooling of the motor (26). The motor (26) is of the permanent split-capacitor type to eliminate the centrifugal switch commonly used in capacitor-start induction motors to thereby improve reliability. Additionally, telescoping structures on the forward end of the motor assembly and the rearward end of the pump assembly facilitate self-aligning assembly of the components.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 1999Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: STA-RITE Industries, Inc.Inventors: Cleo D.
