Patent number: 5030071Abstract: A roller vane motor as described, the motor having a stator with a generally cylindrical chamber provided with fluid inlet and outlet means. A rotor is provided in the chamber to be rotatable therein, the rotor having a slot to receive a roller which forms a seal between the rotor and said chamber. The roller is urged into the sealing condition by means of drive fluid flowing behind the roller. A twin-roller version is also described as is a motor assembly made up of a number of vane motors arranged in line.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1989Date of Patent: July 9, 1991Inventor: Neil A. A. Simpson

Patent number: 4960371Abstract: A rotary gas compressor suitable for heavy duty continuous or intermittent operation with automatic inlet and outlet pressure control valves to reduce power consumption and increase volumetric efficiency. Articulated volume displacers further increase volumetric efficiency, extend life of wearing components and permit infinitely variable capacity control from 0 to 100%. High loads and high speeds are possible due to intrinsic radial load balancing. Additional provisions include replaceable cylinder liners.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1989Date of Patent: October 2, 1990Inventor: H. Eugene Bassett

Patent number: 4548561Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic machine useful in pumping, drilling, etc. especially at great distances, comprising a housing defining a multiplicity of eccentric working chambers. A rotor is mounted to rotate in each chamber and comprises, in a radial recess, a distribution and separation element which separates the chamber into two spaces: an inactive space emptied by a lateral bore in the housing; and an active space that receives fluid under pressure via a shaft solid with the rotor and a hollow made in the separation element. The fluid under pressure rotates the rotor by exerting its thrust on the separation element.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 1984Date of Patent: October 22, 1985Inventor: Joseph Bitar

Patent number: 4512728Abstract: A vane-type rotary pump and a vane-type rotary compressor are integrated into a single unit and are driven by a common shaft. The compressor assembly is positioned at the rear of the pump assembly to minimize the number of mechanical seals required to seal the pump assembly along the shaft. The combined pump and compressor unit is provided with a regulating mechanism for reducing the compressor output during moderate or off modes of the refrigerant circuit.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 1984Date of Patent: April 23, 1985Assignees: Nippon Soken, Inc., Nippondenso Co., Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiromichi Nakano, Hideaki Sasaya, Mitsuo Inagaki, Kazuma Matsui, Kunimasa Yoshimura

Patent number: 4328824Abstract: A flow divider is described for accurately dividing and metering the flow of a common fluid, such as fuel oil, to a plurality of fluid outlets. The flow divider includes a plurality of metering gear sets rigidly fixed on two parallel common continuous shafts, with each of the gear sets separated from adjacent gear sets by separater spacers also fixed on the shafts but free to move in a common radial cavity formed by a split housing enclosing the shafts and gears. The two parallel common continuous shafts are supported at each end by roller bearings which are separated from the gear sets by means of a seal and are lubricated by a separate source of lubricant. The roller bearings on one end of the parallel shafts are fixed in an axial location relative to the shafts and the roller bearings on the other end of the common shafts are free to move axially without experiencing binding or seizing of the shafts or roller bearings.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1979Date of Patent: May 11, 1982Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: James G. Kiernan, James G. Leonard

Patent number: 4259045Abstract: A gear pump or motor wherein at least two pump or gear units are arranged in coaxial relationship and have their axially inwardly extended driven and driving shafts journalled in a common intermediate casing, the driving shafts being splined together with an internally splined sleeve. The inlet port opened in the intermediate casing is communicated through low-pressure passages with the pump chambers of the respective pump or motor units (and with the assembly chamber or pocket formed to accommodate the opposing ends of the axially inwardly extended driving shafts). The diameter of the inlet port is made larger than the size of the sleeve for interconnecting the driving shafts so that the sleeve may be inserted through the inlet opening into the assembly chamber or pocket and interconnect the driving shafts. Thus, in assembly the interconnection between the driving shafts may be much facilitated.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 1978Date of Patent: March 31, 1981Assignee: KayabakogyokabushikikaishaInventor: Hideo Teruyama

Patent number: 4204815Abstract: A rotary vane vacuum pump includes a drive unit, such as an electric motor, and a pump unit, preferably constructed as a cartridge pump unit. The drive unit may take any suitable form, but the cartridge unit includes one or more pumping stages plus a pumping stage of small dimension to lower pressure and increase outgassing of the lubricant. The rotors of the rotary vane pump unit are shaftless, that is they together form an axis of rotation without a separate axial shaft and are thus simplified in construction. All of the requirements of oiling, outgassing and gas ballast are fulfilled in the additional stage.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1977Date of Patent: May 27, 1980Assignee: Gast Manufacturing CorporationInventor: Joseph A. Le Blanc
