Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A positive displacement liquid pump, comprising a housing having a pumping chamber therein, an inlet to one side of said chamber and an outlet from the other side of said chamber, motor driven pumping means mounted in said chamber between said inlet and said outlet, a supercharging passageway extending through said housing between the outlet side of said chamber and a location in said chamber intermediate said inlet and said outlet, a restricted metering means of fixed cross-sectional area disposed in said passageway to provide a constant rate of flow through said passageway for any given pump speed, and pressure relief means connected downstream of said restricted metering means and between said restricted metering means and said inlet to regulate the pressure of the liquid in the passageway between said restricted metering means and said intermediate location in said meteriNg chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A positive displacement liquid pump, comprising a housing having a pumping chamber therein, an inlet to one side of said chamber and an outlet from the other side of said chamber, motor driven pumping means mounted in said chamber between said inlet and said outlet, a supercharging passageway extending through said housing between the outlet side of said chamber and a location in said chamber intermediate said inlet and said outlet, a restricted metering means of fixed cross-sectional area disposed in said passageway to provide a constant rate of flow through said passageway for any given pump speed, and pressure relief means connected downstream of said restricted metering means and between said restricted metering means and said inlet to regulate the pressure of the liquid in the passageway between said restricted metering means and said intermediate location in said meteriNg chamber.
