Abstract: The pump (1) comprises a synchronous alternating current
electrical motor (5) having a permanent magnet rotor (7) and
a bladed impeller (16) coupled to an end (9a) of the rotor
(7) which extends into a cavity (19) in the hub (17) thereof.
That end (9a) of the rotor (7) and the hub (17) of the
impeller (16) are provided with a first and a second
transverse coupling formation (40, 41), respectively, which
have respective angular extensions (α+β+γ; δ) which are
predetermined in such a manner that there is angular play,
suitable for promoting the starting of the motor (5), between
the rotor (7) and the impeller (16). The coupling formation
(40) of the rotor (7) comprises 
   a transverse appendage (30) which extends from and is
integral with a drive body (26) of rigid material secured to
the rotor (7), and 
   a damping formation (35) moulded in a single piece of
resilient material onto the drive body (26) and having two
end portions (35a, 35b) which are to engage the coupling
formation (41) of the impeller (16), and an intermediate
connecting and retaining portion (35c) which interconnects
the end portions (35a, 35b) and which extends at least
partially through the drive body (26) so that the damping
formation (35) as a whole is constrained in a stable manner,

Abstract: A water-absorbent resin composition excelling in an
absorption capacity under pressure, a first transition of
initial absorption, and the small amount of rewet is provided.
It comprises a water-absorbent resin obtained by aqueous
solution polymerization and by reversed-phase suspension or
reversed-phase emulsion polymerization and shows a CSF of
not less than 20 g/g or an AAP of not less than 20 g/g or
an SFC of not less than 10 (unit: 10 -7  × cm 3  × s X g -1 ). The
gaps among resin particles owing to the difference in shape
form optimum gap widths for the sake of capillarity. The resin
composition consequently formed, therefore, manifests such
excellent properties without the influences of a surfactant
or an emulsifier.
