Abstract
Abstract A pump wherein the parts of the casing forming, together with the partitions and sealing members, chambers for the accommodation of impellers mounted in a counteropposed manner on a shaft, are interconnected in the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the impellers by a clamp. The clamp consists of two parts with the joining plane passing through the rotation axis of the impellers and the clamp has circular collars at the edges, the collars entering circular recesses provided in flanges located on the opposite sides of the casing parts. The clamp is adapted for compressing the sealing members while the clamp parts are being brought together.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
A two-stage centrifugal pump comprising: (a) a hollow, elongated casing having a longitudinal axis and including a pair of axially spaced sections each of which comprises a plurality of releasably connected parts so that said casing is dismountable, said sections having confronting flanges provided with recesses; (b) a pair of axially spaced partitions respectively cooperating with said sections in the regions of said flanges to define a pair of chambers interiorly of said casing; (c) sealing members between said casing and said partitions for sealing said chambers; (d) a shaft in said casing mounted for rotation on said axis; (e) a pair of impellers mounted on said shaft for rotation therewith and each arranged in one of said chambers; and (f) a clamp for connecting said sections arranged between the latter, said clamp including a pair of releasably connected portions joined along a plane which substantially passes through said axis so as to permit rapid disassembly of said pump, and said clamp being provided with collars which are received in said recesses, said clamp having an inwardly directed projection positioned between said partitions and operative for exerting pressure on the latter and thereby causing compression of said sealing members upon assembly of said clamp.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A centrifugal pump according to claim 1 wherein said partitions are normal to said axis, said collars being of annular configuration and said recesses being circular.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
A centrifugal pump according to claim 1 wherein said projection is tapered and is of annular configuration.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A centrifugal pump according to claim 3 wherein said partitions have surfaces in engagement with said projection and said surfaces are tapered in conformance with the taper of said projection.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
A centrifugal pump according to claim 1 wherein said projection is centered on said clamp.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
A centrifugal pump according to claim 1 comprising a pair of bearings for said shaft each of which is accommodated in a different one of said parts of said casing, one of said portions of said clamp being rigidly connected with the respective parts of said casing which accommodate said bearings.
