Patent number: 6779986Abstract: The invention relates to a radial piston pump, comprising an inlet chamber with an inlet connection, an eccentric which may be driven in a rotating manner, arranged within the inlet chamber, for driving at least one piston of the radial piston pump, a cylinder bore for guiding the piston and an inlet controller, which opens and closes a connection between the inlet chamber and the cylinder bore, depending on the piston position. The radial piston pump is characterized by at least one balancing element (24, 25) for the eccentric (17), which rotates synchronously with the eccentric (17) in the inlet chamber (20), the balancing element (24, 25) being so arranged in the inlet chamber (20) and/or so formed in its contour that a hydraulic resistance is formed between the inlet connection (8′) and inlet controller (31), or the flow of medium reaching the inlet controller (31) is unaffected.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: LUK Fahrzeug-Hydraulik GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Peter Breuer, Bernd Denfeld, Axel Fassbender, Antonia Schlosshan

Patent number: 6773240Abstract: A fuel pump for an automotive vehicle includes a housing having an opening extending therethrough, and a piston slidably supported within the opening. A pair of end caps are mounted to the housing, thereby encasing the piston within the opening. First and second pumping chambers are defined by the opening, first and second ends of the piston, and the end caps. Each of the first and second pumping chambers has an inlet adapted to allow fuel to flow into the pumping chambers and an outlet adapted to allow fuel to flow out of the pumping chambers. A drive device is adapted to move the piston back and forth within the opening, thereby alternately increasing and decreasing the volumes of the first and second pumping chambers.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: August 10, 2004Assignee: Visteon Global Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Mike Dong

Patent number: 6746221Abstract: A traveling valve for use in a sucker rod pump having a cylindrical housing having an interior passageway and a tapered shoulder formed therein and a piston received within the interior passageway and slidable therein. The piston has a mechanically operated sliding shear seal positioned interior of the housing. The piston has a surface thereon generally conforming to a shape of the tapered shoulder in the interior passageway. Separate channels extend through the wall of the housing so as to communicate between the interior of the housing and the annulus of the tubing string.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2002Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Inventor: Kenneth Havard

Publication number: 20040096345Abstract: A fluid pump includes a piston disposed within a compartment and defining therewith a fluid-charging chamber on one side of the piston and a fluid-pumping chamber on the opposite side of the piston. The piston is formed with an opening therethrough establishing communication between the chambers. A one-way valve carried by the piston is effective to close the opening through the piston during the forward-pumping strokes and to open the opening during the return strokes. Further valve means are provided effective: to open the inlet with respect to the fluid-charging chamber during the forward-pumping strokes, to close the inlet with respect to the fluid-charging chamber during the return strokes, to open the outlet with respect to the fluid-pumping chamber during the forward-pumping strokes, and to close the outlet with respect to the fluid-pumping chamber during the return strokes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2002Publication date: May 20, 2004Applicant: MNDE Technologies L.L.C.Inventor: Nachum Zabar
