In a, centrifugal pump dealing with liquids which may contain fibrous material, an arm projects permanently into the eye of the impeller in juxtaposition with the leading edges of the blades, the arrangement being such that when the impeller is rotated, relative movement between the blades and the arm causes fibres lodging on the leading edges to be wiped off and returned to the liquid to pass through the pump. A sheet metal pressing, comprising a ring 20 with lugs 21 which are gripped between the outer surface of the pump inlet 6 and an inlet hose (not shown), has an arm 22 covered with a tube, moulding or coating 18 of butyl rubber or plastic. The tube 18 bears lightly against the leading edges 11 of the impeller blades to wipe off fibres lodging on the leading edges. The pressing may be replaced by a finger-like aluminium alloy diecasting bolted to the inner surface of the inlet 6. In this case, the cover 18 may be omitted, the free end of the casting then lying parallel and close to, but not actually touching, the leading edges 11. The arm may be of resilient metal wire or strip, or a rigid arm may be pivotally mounted and urged by a spring or the like towards the impeller blades.

Title: Improvements in or relating to hydro-pneumatic suspension units

Abstract: 1,210,760. Hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension unit. AUGUST BILSTEIN K.G. 2 June, 1969 [10 June, 1968], No. 27829/69. Heading F2S. [Also in Division H1] In a self-levelling suspension unit the pumping of liquid from the reservoir chamber 9 into the working cylinder 2 whenever the piston 7 falls below the position shown is effected by a pump 16, 17 driven by an electric motor 21. Both the pump and the motor are mounted in or on the housing containing the working cylinder. The power supply leads to the motor are interrupted by a switch (e.g. contacts 31 and 32) sensitive to the position of the piston. When the piston rises above the level shown, a regulating valve (27-29 Fig. 3, not shown), which may be controlled by the same switch (e.g. contacts 30 and 31) opens to allow liquid to flow from the working cylinder back to the reservoir chamber. Regulation of piston level may be delayed by time-lag relays. In the right-hand side of Fig. 1, the level-control switch consists of three contacts 30-32 incorporated in a folding bellows 34. In the left-hand side of Fig. 1, the switch consists of a microswitch 35 mounted between two adjacent coils of a flat spring 36. Figs. 2, 5 and 6 (not shown, but see Division H1) depict alternative forms of level control switch. Fig. 7 (not shown) depicts an alternative form of suspension unit. If the piston 7 is displaced from the desired level position, the force of either a compression spring (65) or a tension spring (66) acts on a damping control piston (63) which eventually displaces the switching plunger (35<SP>1</SP>) thereby energizing the pump or the regulating valve as appropriate.
