Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
A motor pump comprising: a motor unit including an outer housing and a cup-shaped ferromagnetic motor housing with a bottom having a first bearing, a permanent magnet secured to said motor housing, an armature with a shaft carried by said bearing and meams including a first port member for communicating the inside of the motor housing with the outside thereof and a second bearing for carrying said shaft at the side opposite to said first bearing, said means being secured to the open end of said motor housing so that said motor unit is operable independently of said outer housing, a pump unit including a rotor rotatable with said shaft and a stator secured to the bottom of said motor housing, said stator having a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port, said pump unit being in fluid communication with the inside of said motor housing through one of said fluid inlet and outlet ports; and said outer housing encasing said motor unit and pump unit and including a second port member formed integral therewith to communicate the other of said fluid inlet and outlet ports with the outside whereby said first port member, the inside of said motor housing, said pump unit and said second port member are in series fluid communication.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
214 words
A motor pump comprising: a motor unit including an outer housing and a cup-shaped ferromagnetic motor housing with a bottom having a first bearing, a permanent magnet secured to said motor housing, an armature with a shaft carried by said bearing and meams including a first port member for communicating the inside of the motor housing with the outside thereof and a second bearing for carrying said shaft at the side opposite to said first bearing, said means being secured to the open end of said motor housing so that said motor unit is operable independently of said outer housing, a pump unit including a rotor rotatable with said shaft and a stator secured to the bottom of said motor housing, said stator having a fluid inlet port and a fluid outlet port, said pump unit being in fluid communication with the inside of said motor housing through one of said fluid inlet and outlet ports; and said outer housing encasing said motor unit and pump unit and including a second port member formed integral therewith to communicate the other of said fluid inlet and outlet ports with the outside whereby said first port member, the inside of said motor housing, said pump unit and said second port member are in series fluid communication.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
185 words
A motor pump comprising: a motor unit including a cylindrical cup-shaped ferromagnetic motor housing with the bottom having a first bearing, a permanent magnet secured to said motor housing, an armature having an integral shaft carried by said bearing and means having an outlet tube in communication with the inside of said motor housing and a second bearing, said means being secured to the cylindrical open end of said motor housing at the periphery thereof so that said motor unit is operable independently of an outer housing; a pump unit including a rotor connected to said shaft and a stator secured in contact to the bottom of said motor housing, said stator having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, said fluid outlet being in fluid communication with the inside of said motor housing; and an outer housing for encasing said motor unit and pump unit, said outer housing including an integral inlet tube in fluid communication with said fluid inlet of said pump unit whereby all the fluid flows from said inlet tube through the inside of said motor housing to said outlet tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
185 words
A motor pump comprising: a motor unit including a cylindrical cup-shaped ferromagnetic motor housing with the bottom having a first bearing, a permanent magnet secured to said motor housing, an armature having an integral shaft carried by said bearing and means having an outlet tube in communication with the inside of said motor housing and a second bearing, said means being secured to the cylindrical open end of said motor housing at the periphery thereof so that said motor unit is operable independently of an outer housing; a pump unit including a rotor connected to said shaft and a stator secured in contact to the bottom of said motor housing, said stator having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, said fluid outlet being in fluid communication with the inside of said motor housing; and an outer housing for encasing said motor unit and pump unit, said outer housing including an integral inlet tube in fluid communication with said fluid inlet of said pump unit whereby all the fluid flows from said inlet tube through the inside of said motor housing to said outlet tube.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A motor pump according to claim 2, wherein said motor unit further comprises an expansible annular hollow casing secured within said motor housing between the side surface of said permanent magnet and the outer surface of said armature.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A motor pump according to claim 3, wherein said magnet and said armature are disposed such that said armature is urged by magnetic force to said second bearing.
