My invention'relates to-pumps for supplying pressure fluid to a. plurality of mecha-' nisms and it is an object of the invention to provide means wherebya'single pump may 5 be used to'deliver aconst'ant flow of fluid to one or more mechanismsand at the same time supply a variable flow of pressure fluid to other mechanisms each supply of fluid being independent of the other. This object is-attained by means of a rotary pump having two pumping chambers. One of said chambers has a constantvolume at'all timeswhile the other pumping chamber 'may be increased or decreased in volume by suitable mechanism to vary the volumetric output of this chamber.- 1 Y 'Referring to the accompanying drawings which are made a part hereof and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts,
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the device,

This invention consists of a combined variable and constant capacity pump with a single impeller common to'both.
The construction and operation of the variable side of the'pump has been described in a co-pending application-of Harold E. Balsiger and Amos P. Steiner, Serial No. 122,197, filed July 13, 19261.,
The construction of thecoi'nbined device is fundamentally the same as that described in the above mentioned application except that a portion of the inner surface of the pump body is machined to form a-co'nstant? volume pumping chamber, and has inlet and i discharge'port's connected therewith; I
The pump consists of a casing lO'ha'ving achainber 11in which is mounted a-cylin- -drical-piston 12 having radial slots 13 therein "for receiving-pumping vanes 14. The piston is-secured upon a shaft 15 mounted in suitable bearings "16 and 17 in the easing and is driven by any source of power not shown. Suitable packing material 18 prevents leakage around the shaft; One side of the chamberll is machined out to provide between the rotor .12 and the pump casing a crescent-shaped'chamber 19 as shown in Fig. 1. Suitable ports 20 and 21 the pum admits fluid pressure to the chamfur'nish inlet and outlet passages for this pumping chamber. The side of the casing' approximately opposite the chamberv 19 chambered to provide'for the reception of a block 22. This block has an inner surface. cut to provide between the inner endof the block and the cylindrical piston 12 a crescentshaped chamber 23 having outlet and inlet ports 33 and 35. The block is held in place by means of a rod 24 threaded in the block 22 and having a flange 25 resting against the shoulder 26 of the cover-plate 27. Compression springs 27 seated in bores in the casing 10 and in the block 22 urge the block out- Ward. They hold the block against back .70 lash when the pump is stopped and pressure removed from the inner side of the block. The said cover plate is fastened to the casing 10 of the pump by means of bolts or screws 28. A piston 29 having a small screw portion 30 threaded in abore '31 in the sliding block 22 balances the sliding block and fa? cilitates, its movement. A port 32 in communication with the discharge outlet 33 of her 34 a ove the piston 29', and acts to balance the sliding block against the pressure on its inner surface.
As fully described in the co-pendiiig ap plication above referred to, the block 22 may be moved toward and from the rotary piston by rotation of the shaft 24 by means of 1 a hand wheel thereon not shown. Movement of the sliding block 22 from and toward the pumping chamber will increase or decrease the space 23' to vary the capacity of the pump. l
As shown in Figs. 1, 3' and 4, the inner ends of slots 13 in the rotary piston 12 are in communication with arcuate grooves 36" in the end plates which connect through ports 36 with the discharge-side of the pump in the constant' volume chambers," and with arcuate grooves 37 in theend plates whichcoimect through port 37- to pressure on thedischarge's'id'e of thevaria'ble volumep'ump ing chamber to provide pressure fluid against the inner ends of the vanes 14; to force them against the 'inner surface of the.
bore 11 to provide afiu'id -s'eal-between the" I vanes and the inner surface of the bore 11. The operation of my pump as follows: a Upon rotation of the piston-'12'fluid isdrawn in through inlet passage-20 into the crescent-shaped chamber 19 of the pump and by means of the vanes 14 is expelled with a constant flow for a given speed of the pump through the outlet port 21 to the place of consumption. In like manner fluid is drawn through inlet' port 35 into the crescent-shaped chamber 23 and delivered through outlet port 33 to the place of consumption in any desired volume dependent u on the position of the block 22. By a s ight rotation ofthe shaft 24 the block 22 may be moved by a threading action from or toward the periphery of the piston 12 to increase or decrease the volume of the crescent-shaped chamber 23 and hence the volumetric output of the pump. The flange 25 prevents axial movement of the shaft 24 when the latter is rotated to move the block inward. The springs 27' assist in moving the block outward when the shaft is rotated in the reverse direction.
It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes may be made in my device without departing from the spirit vention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
c l n 1. A duplex pump having a single casingand a single rotor with two pumping chambers, one adapted to deliver a constant volume of fluid exteriorly of the casing and the other adapted to be increased or decreased whereby it may deliver a variable volume of fluid independently of the delivery from the constant volume chamber, substantially as set forth.

A rotary pump comprising a casing, a rotary piston mounted therein, a portion of the inner surface of the casing being hollowed out to provide a crescent-shaped pumping chamber. between the casing and the rotor with inlet and outlet ports connected therewith, a second pumping chamber opposite the first-named pumping chamber having inlet and outlet passages entirely independent of the passages or ports in said first named chambers and means for changing the volumetric capacity of the secondnamed chamber, substantially as set forth.
3. A combined constant delivery and variable capacity pump comprising a. casing, a rotor therein, a pumping chamber on one side of said rotor formed between the rotor and the casing with inlet and outlet ports connected therewith, a chamber on the opposite side of said rotor with inlet and outlet ports connected therewith, the ports in one chamber being entirely. independent of the ports in the. other,-a sliding block. forming a portion ofthe second chamber, means for movmgthe's'aid sliding block radially in the pump chamber for changing the volumetric capacity of the said second-named chamber whereby at a given speed of opera-' tion the volume of fluid delivered from the first-named chamber will remain constant and the volume delivered from the secondnamed chamber may be varied, substantially as setforth. I

rotary piston mounted therein, sl'idable vanes inlet and outlet ports of the second pumfping chamber being independent of those 0 the first chamber, and means for moving the said block toward and from the piston whereby the volume of the said secondnamcd chamber may be increased or decreased to deliver a variable volume of fluid,
substantially as set forth.
