Assignee:

Graco Minnesota Inc - Minneapolis MN

International Classification:

F01B029/00

US Classification:

92128, 4033595

Abstract:

A device that eliminates the need for torque, usually applied by large tools, in the assembly or maintenance of pumps. This device connects the cylinder () and upper housing () of a pump using a simple locking pin () that inserts through the upper housing () of the pump and along the flat () on the pump cylinder (). The cylinder () inserts into the upper housing () until the holes () for the pin are () aligned. Upon alignment, the locking pin () is inserted through both components and locked, thus connecting them.

International Classification:

F16K 15/04
F16K 21/08
F16K 51/00

US Classification:

13753311, 137271, 251285

Abstract:

A ball stop valve () allows liquid to enter a reciprocating piston pump when internal suction is great enough to raise the ball () and create a space between the ball () and a seat (). This invention allows the user to easily insert or remove rings () into the ball inlet valve, either above or below the ball (), so that the space between the ball () and the seat () can be adjusted. The valve () is easily accessible to the user and all components of the ball valve () are removable.

US Classification:

239117, 239413, 239415, 239433, 239600

Abstract:

A plural component spray gun () is designed for spraying quick setting materials such as foams, polyurea and the like. Towards this end, the gun () is designed so as to be easily serviceable with a minimum of tools. For example, the side seal cartridges () and () may be installed and removed without tools by removing the retaining ring () and then extracting them from the fluid housing (). Those cartridges () and () are easily disassembled and cleaned. Similarly, the fluid housing () may be removed from the handle/body () by unscrewing the lock ring () by hand.

Appl. No.:

10/479667

Inventors:

Mark Weinberger - Mounds View MN, US
Michael Sebion - Apple Valley MN, US

International Classification:

F04B007/00

US Classification:

417/514000

Abstract:

The invention integrates a filter system into a reciprocating piston pump (). This design will eliminate the need for extra connection components, increase the maximum internal pressure allowed due to no danger of the filter loosening, ease maintenance and cleaning while also decreasing the overall size of the system. Because the overall size is smaller, less energy is required to change the pressure throughout the system and thus increase overall efficiency compared to previous designs. The invention is a filter element () that inserts and becomes integrated with the upper housing () of the pump (). The filter element () is inserted into its own cavity and held in place by upper and lower connectors () that threadedly engage with the pump housing ().

International Classification:

G05D 7/00

US Classification:

700282

Abstract:

Variable () and fixed ratio 100 dispensing systems are disclosed. Each pump () is powered by a DC motor () spinning a gear pump () which is immersed in a hydraulic power pack (). The power pack output feeds a hydraulic linear motor () where its direction is controlled by a two output reversing valve (). The hydraulic linear motor () drives one or two material pumps () which are mechanically attached to the hydraulic pump (). The pressure and/or flow outputs of the material pumps () are controlled by altering the torque output of the DC motor (), using a custom designed motor control module (MCM) (). The MCM () uses a linear position sensor () and a pressure transducer () installed at the output of the material pump () as primary process variables (or feedbacks) for the pump (). The system not dependant upon expensive flow meters for controlling the pump output.
