Patent number: 4834620Abstract: To achieve a flywheel effect and lower the power necessary to drive it, a float pump is modified and put to use in such a way that one-half of the stroke of the pump is powered by the negative or positive buoyancy of the system of reciprocating components through which the pump is operated. As a result, the pump can be powered by even human leg power, such as by driving it through a pair of cranks pedalled in the manner of a bicycle. A reciprocable drive mechanism for the pump is also disclosed and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 1987Date of Patent: May 30, 1989Assignee: Aardvark CorporationInventor: Gerald T. Sweeney

Patent number: 4762474Abstract: A bore hole pump which eliminates the need for a piston sealingly engaging with the walls of the pump body. The pump comprises a hollow body closed at its lower end by a non-return inlet valve and slidably and sealingly supporting at its upper end, via a seal, a reciprocating riser pipe which is likewise closed at its lower end by a non-return valve. Upward movement of the riser pipe causes fluid to be drawn into the pump body via inlet valve while downward movement of the riser pipe causes fluid to be expelled from the pump body via outlet valve.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1986Date of Patent: August 9, 1988Inventor: William J.

Patent number: 4749343Abstract: A high pressure fluid pump having a telescoping cylinder assembly disposed in a cylindrical sleeve. The telescoping cylinder assembly has a stationary member rigidly attached to the cylindrical sleeve and a telescoping member biased towards an outlet port. The telescoping member is reciprocated relative to the stationary member by the displacement of an armature in response to the intermittent energizing of a solenoid coil. An inlet valve connected to the telescoping member and an outlet valve connected to the stationary member provide a unidirectional fluid flow through the telescoping cylinder assembly with the reciprocation of the telescoping member. The outlet valve has a flat valve member which is biased against a valve seat provided at the end of the stationary member adjacent to the outlet port. The flat valve member is preferably made from a resilient elastomer which increases the efficiency of the pump and eliminates forward and back syphoning.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1986Date of Patent: June 7, 1988Assignee: Facet Enterprises, Inc.Inventor: Ralph V.

Patent number: 4355962Abstract: The hand-operated pump has a piston which is reciprocated within the hollow pump body by a plunger which itself is reciprocated through an opening in a collar at one end of the pump body. When the plunger is in a fully extended condition at one end of a stroke, a direct seal is obtained between an annular projection on the plunger and an annular groove on the collar which receives said projection. Thus, leakage is prevented along the interface between the plunger and the collar through the opening during shipment or accidental inversion of the pump at other times.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1979Date of Patent: October 26, 1982Assignee: Realex CorporationInventor: Wallace F. Magers

Patent number: 4174056Abstract: A pump type dispenser for dispensing a spray of liquid has a container for containing the liquid to be dispensed, a piston-cylinder device for drawing liquid out of the container and pressurizing it, a dispensing head into which the pressurized liquid is pumped, with a free piston chamber therein in which is a free piston spring loaded toward the direction from which the pressurized liquid comes, and a nozzle opening out of the free piston chamber through the dispensing head. A check valve between the piston-cylinder device and the free piston chamber blocks return of the fluid once it has been forced into the free piston chamber, so that the free piston acts on the liquid in the free piston chamber to dispense it in a spray through the nozzle while the piston-cylinder device recovers from its actuated to its unactuated position and the next actuation thereof is started.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1977Date of Patent: November 13, 1979Assignee: Ciba-Geigy CorporationInventor: Herbert H.

Patent number: 4023467Abstract: To permit dry operation of a piston within the cylinder, the cylinder is made of metal, and the piston is made of polytetrafluorethylene; the piston, preferably, is formed with an annular ring groove extending downwardly from an end face thereof to leave a circumferential lip, the groove having a spring located therein biasing the lip outwardly against the cylinder wall, to provide for sealing contact of the lip against the cylinder wall, which is additionally reinforced by pressure of the gas being compressed by movement of the piston within the cylinder, tending to expand the lip against the piston surface, at the time when the compression is highest, and sealing is the most desired.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 1975Date of Patent: May 17, 1977Assignee: Bayerisches Druckgusswerk Thurner KGInventor: Helmut Thurner

Patent number: 3941516Abstract: A water well pump assembly designed for operation within a well casing and embodying a pump cylinder having the usual foot valve and traveling plunger valve, together with a novel head valve which is disposed at the upper end of the cylinder above the plunger valve and which functions when an excess quantity of air enters the cylinder through the foot valve to prevent the hydrostatic column of liquid in the liquid outlet pipe above the plunger from following the latter during its downstroke. By such an arrangement, the resultant partial vacuum which is established by downward movement of the plunger causes the foot valve to become seated and the traveling valve to become unseated so that upward movement of the plunger causes unseating of the head valve and passage of the excess air upwardly into the liquid outlet pipe.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1974Date of Patent: March 2, 1976Inventor: Arnold S. Soberg
