US Patent:
5941536, Aug 24, 1999
Filed:
Feb 12, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/022690
Inventors:
Thomas G. Hill - Salt Lake City UT
Assignee:
EnviroTech Pumpsystems, Inc. - Salt Lake City UT
International Classification:
F16J 300, F16J 1502, F01D 520
US Classification:
277634
Abstract:
An elastomer seal member for use in a pump having adjustable side liners is structured with a bellows-type flange which provides and maintains a tight seal between adjoining casing elements of the pump as the side liners are axially adjusted to compensate for wear and abrasion of the side liners. The elastomer seal member provides a continuous seal between adjoining casing elements as the side liners are axially adjusted, thereby extending the service life of the side liners and extending the number of hours the pump may be operated before a replacement of the side liners and seal is required.
