Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an improvement in a reciprocating piston type pump having spaced radially expanding packings which are expandable in response to axial pressure on the packings. There is also included a compression spring between the packings. The pump contains means to vary the compression of the compression spring dependent upon the pressures within the pump during operation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
In a pump of the character described having inlet and discharge chambers, a piston reciprocable within said chambers spaced packings radially expansible in response to axial pressure surrounding said piston, and means for exerting axial pressure on said packings including a compressible spring between said packings; the improvement comprising means including an element engageable exteriorly of said pump without diassembly thereof to vary the compression of said spring.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
68 words
In a pump of the character described having inlet and discharge chambers, a piston reciprocable within said chambers spaced packings radially expansible in response to axial pressure surrounding said piston, and means for exerting axial pressure on said packings including a compressible spring between said packings; the improvement comprising means including an element engageable exteriorly of said pump without diassembly thereof to vary the compression of said spring.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
115 words
In a pump of the character described having a cylindrical body, a piston reciprocable within said body, a plurality of spaced packings radially expansible in response to axial pressure surrounding said piston and engaging the interior wall of said cylindrical body, and means for exerting axial pressure on said packings including means including a compressible spring between said packings for exerting axial pressure on said packings; the improvement comprising a cylindrical collar carried by said cylindrical body exteriorly thereof and axially adjustable with respect thereto, and means for transmitting axial movement of said collar to said spring to adjustably vary the compression thereof; whereby equal variable axial pressures are exerted upon both said spaced packings.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
115 words
In a pump of the character described having a cylindrical body, a piston reciprocable within said body, a plurality of spaced packings radially expansible in response to axial pressure surrounding said piston and engaging the interior wall of said cylindrical body, and means for exerting axial pressure on said packings including means including a compressible spring between said packings for exerting axial pressure on said packings; the improvement comprising a cylindrical collar carried by said cylindrical body exteriorly thereof and axially adjustable with respect thereto, and means for transmitting axial movement of said collar to said spring to adjustably vary the compression thereof; whereby equal variable axial pressures are exerted upon both said spaced packings.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The improvement in a pump according to claim 2 in which said collar is coaxial with said cyindrical body, threaded thereon for axial adjustment with respect thereto, and extends beyond one end of said cylindrical body.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The improvement in a pump according to claim 3 in which said axial movement transmitting means comprises a sleeve axially movable within said cylindrical body between said collar and said packings.
