| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7014069 | Dosage pump A dosage pump which includes a pump body and a control means with rest and distribution positions. The control means includes a dosing chamber, a return spring, and a member to ensure friction braking of the sliding movement of the actuating members of the pump.... | 03/21/2006 |
| 6938803 | Non-leaking non-dripping liquid jet pump A liquid jetting pump of the present invention is constructed such that an intra container liquid is sucked into a cylinder 3 through a suction valve 9 by moving a vertically movable member 4 up and down, and the intra cylinder liquid is jetted ... | 09/06/2005 |
| 6934996 | System for actuating a gas damper A gas-filled cylinder, with two concentric cylindrical bodies or tubes that determine an intermediate gas passage chamber and are separated by a shaft cap and a valve cap that allow the passage of gas towards the interior, in which a piston moves and forms two inter... | 08/30/2005 |
| 6931693 | Damper mechanism A damper mechanism installed on an opening and closing device that has an arcuate plunger with the same radius of curvature of the cylinder it slidably mates with. A torsion coil spring causes the sliding action of the plunger into the cylinder in one direction.... | 08/23/2005 |
| 5605446 | High viscosity material pump having valved priming piston A reciprocable liquid pump having a priming cylinder affixed beneath the lower valve housing, and a priming piston rod affixed to the lower end of the pump piston valve assembly. A priming piston and priming valve are affixed to the lower end of the primi... | 02/25/1997 |
| 5358389 | Two-stage compression vacuum pump having valved piston and power limiting valve This invention relates to a vacuum pump. The pump includes a pump housing (10) having upper and lower cylindrical, partly liquid filled, compression chambers (11 and 12 respectively) which are separated from each other and in which an upper and a lower pa... | 10/25/1994 |
| 5188519 | Saturated fluid pumping apparatus A reciprocating pump which substantially eliminates cavitation problems without imposing capacity and flow limitations to maintain a net positive suction head.
