Provided is a check valve assembly including a check valve having a body and a stem having at least one radially inwardly deflectable member having an end with a radially outwardly projecting catch, and a valve shield retained on the stem between the body and the end of the at least one radially inwardly deflectable member by the radially outwardly projecting catch. In this way, a mechanical bond is provided between the check valve and the valve shield, thereby eliminating the need to clean the body of the check valve to remove contaminants to allow an adhesive to hold the check valve to the valve shield.

Check valve assembly

A mounting bracket may include a base plate, at least one stationary clip disposed on the base plate, a push releasing plate disposed in spaced apart relation to the at least one stationary clip, and at least one movable clip operatively coupled to and movable with the push releasing plate. The stationary clip or clips and movable clip or clips are disposed and configured to mate with cavities in respective ends of a pump when the push releasing plate is in a non-pivoted position.

The present invention provides a technique using current sensing to control the pressure at constant level without the direct sensing of the pressure. This technique will help to reduce dependency solely on switch or sensor and their non linearity and other associated problems such as the non-repetitive behavior, being affected by EMI etc. The technique includes using a pump controller featuring one or more modules configured to respond to one or more input signals containing information about current provided from a pump; and configured to provide one or more output signals containing information to control the pump to operate at a substantially constant pressure without the direct sensing of pump pressure. The one or more modules control the operation of the pump based at least partly on a table of characteristics related to voltage and current that is calibrated for each pump.

Pump controller

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for separating air from a fluid, such as syrup, as the fluid enters a first chamber of a system; passing the fluid from the first chamber to a second chamber via a first device; passing the air from the first chamber to the second chamber via a second device so as to reintroduce the air back into the fluid and form a new fluid mixture having more uniform air bubbles; and discharging the new fluid out of the system.

A diaphragm pump and method for making same, the pump having a diaphragm coupled to a wobble plate achieved using: a post () protruding from the wobble plate toward the diaphragm and at least partially surrounded by a collar (); and a pin () protruding from the diaphragm toward the wobble plate and having a recess () for mating with the post () and also having an outer portion () surrounding the recess () and able to resiliently deform so as to squeeze through the collar () when the pin () is pushed onto the post (). The outer portion () of the pin typically includes a locking feature () for holding the pin () on the post (). The pin () and the diaphragm are typically made from thermoplastic materials, with the pin () typically made from a harder material than the diaphragm.
