Application filed Feb'ruary 5, 1927. Serial No. 166,210.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in vacuum pumps and has for its primary object to provide a pump of this character that is extremely "simple of construction, inexpensive of manufacture and installation, and on'ethat may be'used in the pumping of oil, water, or other fluid.
With the foregoing and other objects in The figure is a vertical section througlra vacuum pump constructed in accordance with the present invention. j.
Now having particular reference to the drawing, 5 designates a cylindrical body open at its upper and lower ends and externally screw threaded at said ends as disclosed in the drawing. Threaded upon the upper end of this body 5 is a flanged lid 6, while threaded upon the lower open end of said body is a circular chamber 7 formed internally adjacent its upper end with a circumferential flange 9 for the purpose of securing a flexible circular diaphragm 10 between the body 5 and said chamber 7. Arranged through the center of the diaphragm 10 in an air tight manner is a vertical rod 11, the upper end of which projects into the relatively large bore 12' of a circular nipple 13 upon the upper end of which is anranged a cap 14 having air openings 15 in the top wall thereof. For the purpose of at times closing the bore 12 of the nipple 13 to the atmosphere, there is provided a ball valve 16 while arranged between this ball and-the upper end of the rod 11 is a small expansible coil spring 17 for a purpose hereinafter more fully described.
Surrounding the rod 11 between the nip pic 13 and said diaphragm 10 is anexpansible coil spring 18, while formed or disposed within the chamber 7 at opposed points are conventional inlet and exhaust check valves 19 and 20,'respect1vely, that have communication with a fluid intake 21 fluid in the lower compartment 10 the ball 16 will tightly close the bore 12 of the nipple 13 and at the same time the diaphragm l0 will be raised. During the raising. of the diaphragm, the rod 11 will move upwardly for compressing the spring 17l hetweenthe rod and said ball and when said spring 18 compressedto a certain de gree, the ball will be caused to rise from the nipple hrealiing the vacuum. During the raising of thediaphragm the fluid will be drawn into the chamber "7 through the valve 19. As soon asthe vacuum becomes broken the spring 18'w1ll cause the return action o'f'the diaphragm 1O untilthe hall 1.6 closes the passage through the nipple 13, at
Whichthne the action repeats itself. l)uringthe return of the diiaphragm the fluid is obviously ejected through the exhaust check valve and exhaust pipe 22.
It will, thus be seen that I have provided ahighly novel, simple, and eficient vacuum pump that is well adapted for all the purposes heretoiore designated, even though I have herein shown and described the invention as consisting of certain detail structural elements it is nevertheless'to be understood that some changes may be made therein without affecting the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described theinvention, what and affluid storage, a normally closed air inlet valve associated with the upper eompartment, automatlc means for opening the airinlet valvewhen the diaphragm has" been raised to a predetermined degree for breaking the vacuum within the uppercompartment,. and means for returning the di- .aphragmwhen the vacuum 1s broken tor allowing said valve to close whereby the vacuum is again created in the uppercompartment, and simultaneously forcing the through the exhaust valve.
2' In a hollow body open at its upper and lower ends, alid for the upper open end of the its outwardly pump of the class described, a-
body, a chamber detachably secured on the open lower end of the body, a diaphragm secured between the open lower end of the body and said chamber whereby to form a partition between the body and the cham ber, and a vacuum compartment in the 1101- -low body, a vacuum pipe communicating with the vacuum compartment, inlet and exhaust valves arranged in the chamberand communicating respectively with the fluid supply and fluid storage, a normally closed air inlet valve for the vacuum compartment arranged in said lid, automatic means for opening the air inlet valve when the diaphragm has been raised to a predetermined degree for breaking the vacuum in the vacuum compartment, and means for returning the diaphragm when the vacuum is broken for allowing said air inlet valve to close whereby the vacuum is again created in said compartment, and simultaneously forcing the fluid in thechamber outwardly through the exhaust valve.
3. In a pump of the class described, a hollow body open at its upper and lower ends, a lid for the upper open end of the body, a chamber detachably secured on the open lower end of the body,'a diaphragm secured between the open lower end of the body and said chamber whereby to form a valves arranged in the chamber and communicating respectively with the fluid supply and fluid storage. a nipple carried by the lid and communicating with the vacuum compartment, a ball valve normally seated on the nipple for closing the bore thereof to prevent the admission of air to the vacuum compartment, a rod extending vertically in the hollow body and the chamber and earried by the diaphragm for movement therc with, cooperating means between the upper end of the rod and said ball valve for opening the air inlet valve when the diaphragm has been arranged to a predetermined degree for breaking the vacuum within the vacuum compartment, and an expansible coil spring for returning the diaphragm and rod to their initial positions when the vacuum is broken to allow the air inlet valve to close to again create the vacuum in the vacuum compartment, and
