Abstract:
A Venturi device has a body defining a motive section and a discharge section converging toward and spaced a distance apart to define a Venturi gap, defining a first suction port and a second suction port each in fluid communication with the Venturi gap, and defining a chamber having an outlet end of the motive section and an inlet end of the discharge section dividing the chamber into a first portion and a second portion in fluid communication with one another above and below the inlet and outlet ends and through the Venturi gap. The first and second portions both have a plurality of spaced apart fingers protruding radially and axially from an inner wall thereof. A suction housing is sealingly connected to the chamber and collectively defines a check valve with the body, and a cap is sealing connected to close another end of the chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A Venturi device comprising:\n a body defining a passageway having a motive section and a discharge section converging toward one another and defining a chamber having an open first end and an open second end into which an outlet end of the motive section and an inlet end of the discharge section both extend to a position providing fluid flow around the entire outer surface of the outlet end and the inlet end, wherein the inlet end and the outlet end are spaced a lineal distance apart from one another to define a Venturi void therebetween, and divide the chamber into a first portion and a second portion in fluid communication with one another above and below the outlet end and inlet end and through the Venturi void; a suction housing defining a suction passageway sealingly connected to the open first end of the chamber for fluid communication therewith and with the Venturi void, wherein the suction housing and the chamber of the body collectively define a check valve; and a cap sealing connected to the open second end of the chamber; wherein the first portion and the second portion of the chamber each have a plurality of spaced apart fingers protruding radially inward and axially upward from an inner wall of the chamber, which define a seat for an open position of the check valve.
