System And Method For Preventing The Release Of Vapor Into The Atmosphere

US Patent:
5567126, Oct 22, 1996
Filed:
Nov 8, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/555344
Inventors:
Meredith W. Meece - Monroe LA
William T. Thurmon - Monroe LA
Assignee:
Thomas Industries Inc. - Monroe LA
International Classification:
F04B 4900
US Classification:
417310
Abstract:
A vane pump is provided which can be used for the pumping of gasoline vapor, particularly in a sealed environment. The vane pump has an inlet, an outlet and a safety valve that recirculates vapor from the outlet to the inlet when a blockage occurs upstream or downstream of the pump. The invention further provides a system and method, incorporating the pump, for recovering gasoline vapor proximal to a nozzle dispensing liquid gasoline.

Coat Pump Assembly

US Patent:
2007022, Sep 27, 2007
Filed:
Apr 20, 2005
Appl. No.:
10/599873
Inventors:
John Vondenstein - West Monroe LA, US
William Thurmon - Monroe LA, US
Assignee:
THOMAS INDUSTRIES, INC. - Sheboygan WI
International Classification:
F04C 18/08, B05D 5/12, B05D 7/22
US Classification:
418009000, 427130000, 427181000
Abstract:
A roots blower pump () has its internal gaps between relatively moving parts reduced by adding a liquid coating to the intake of the pump while operating the pump. The liquid coating cures to a solid surface on the moving parts, presenting opposing relatively moving surfaces that mate with one another to reduce leakage losses.
