Abstract:
A continuous flow pumping system which provides a continuous flow of materials out of an outlet while eliminating rough stroke shift and boom bounce. The continuous flow pumping system generally includes a container for storing a material to be dispensed such as concrete. Cylinders are fluidly connected to the container such that the materials may be alternatively pulled into the cylinders or pushed out of the cylinders. A diverter valve is connected to the container adjacent the cylinders which includes a valve inlet through which the materials may be pushed to be dispensed and a pair of blocking portions which selectively cover the cylinders and also serve to cut through the materials. By rotating the diverter valve through a plurality of positions while independently controlling the intake and exhaust strokes of the cylinders, a continuous flow of materials may be ensured across all intake/exhaust strokes of the cylinders.

Claim (Index 18):
A continuous flow pumping system, comprising:\n a container for storing a material to be dispensed, the container comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the container comprises an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the first end of the container comprises a first transfer opening and a second transfer opening, wherein the second end of the container comprises an outlet opening; a first cylinder fluidly connected to the first transfer opening, wherein the first cylinder is connected to the outer wall of the first end of the container; a second cylinder fluidly connected to the second transfer opening, wherein the second cylinder is connected to the outer wall of the first end of the container; a diverter valve rotatably connected to the container for controlling flow of the material between the container, the first cylinder, and the second cylinder, wherein the diverter valve is comprised of a valve inlet, a valve outlet, a first blocking portion, and a second blocking portion, wherein the valve outlet is fluidly connected to the outlet opening of the container; a first reinforcement actuator connected to the first blocking portion; a second reinforcement actuator connected to the second blocking portion; wherein the diverter valve is adapted to rotate between a plurality of positions, wherein the plurality of positions comprises a first position in which the first blocking portion covers the first transfer opening and a second position in which the second blocking portion covers the second transfer opening.
