Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A jet propulsion pump assembly having a suction piece and a bowl terminating in a nozzle, a conical shaped hub support for an impeller assembly, disposed axially of said bowl and connected therewith by a plurality of vanes to determine passages to said nozzle, said hub support having a recess at an end thereof and flow passageway means flow connecting said recess with said nozzle, a thrust bearing supported by said suction piece, an impeller assembly in said bowl supported by and between said hub support and said thrust bearing and including an impeller having a hub, said hub at its thrust end extending into said hub support recess and means providing a rotational fit between said hub support and hub whereby to cause a pressure drop along said thrust end to reduce thrust pressure against said hub.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A jet propulsion pump assembly having a suction piece and a bowl terminating in a nozzle, a conical shaped hub support for an impeller assembly, disposed axially of said bowl and connected therewith by a plurality of vanes to determine passages to said nozzle, said hub support having a recess at an end thereof and flow passageway means flow connecting said recess with said nozzle, a thrust bearing supported by said suction piece, an impeller assembly in said bowl supported by and between said hub support and said thrust bearing and including an impeller having a hub, said hub at its thrust end extending into said hub support recess and means providing a rotational fit between said hub support and hub whereby to cause a pressure drop along said thrust end to reduce thrust pressure against said hub.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A jet propulsion pump assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized by said flow connecting means including said conical shaped hub support having a plurality of longitudinal passages therethrough and symmetrically disposed with respect to the axis of said conical shaped hub support.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
41 words
A jet propulsion pump assembly in accordance with claim 1, characterized by said means for providing a rotational fit between said hub support and said hub, including a shallow cup in said recess to receive the thrust end of said hub.
