Abstract
Abstract The invention is directed to a rotor for a centrifugal pump. The rotor has a plurality of spaced apart, substantially circular, rotatable and substantially parallel disks. The disks contain a center aperture. A plurality of arcuate vanes are connected to the outer peripheral edge of the disks. The vanes extend from the outer peripheral edge of the disks in a direction away from the center aperture in the disks.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
62 words
A rotor for a centrifugal pump comprising: a plurality of spaced apart, substantially circular, rotatable and substantially parallel disks, the disks containing a center aperture; and a plurality of arcuate vanes connected to the outer peripheral edge of the disks, the vanes extending from the outer peripheral edge of the disks in a direction away from the center aperture in the disks.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
62 words
A rotor for a centrifugal pump comprising: a plurality of spaced apart, substantially circular, rotatable and substantially parallel disks, the disks containing a center aperture; and a plurality of arcuate vanes connected to the outer peripheral edge of the disks, the vanes extending from the outer peripheral edge of the disks in a direction away from the center aperture in the disks.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
