Abstract

A machine for drawing fluid from a sump for circulation with reciprocating rod, intake nozzle, rotating collar, fluid inlet, and fluid outlet.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A machine for drawing fluid from a sump for circulation, comprising: 
 a reciprocating member    at least one intake nozzle,    at least one rotating collar,    at least one fluid inlet port, and    at least one fluid outlet port,    wherein the motion of the reciprocating member is in directions defined by the center axis of the nozzle,    the intake nozzle is mounted on the rotating collar via which it is in communication with the fluid inlet port, and    the intake nozzle may communicate with a fluid source.    
   
   
       2 . A machine as in  claim 1  wherein the rotating collar with the intake nozzle mounted thereon, may rotate about the reciprocating rod such that the intake nozzle will tend to orient itself to extend from the reciprocating rod in the direction of the prevailing gravity or “g” forces in the plane of rotation.  
   
   
       3 . A machine as in  claim 1  wherein the fluid, after being taken up from the fluid source by the intake nozzle, returns to the fluid source via the fluid outlet port.  
   
   
       4 . A machine as in  claim 1  wherein ballast is added to the intake nozzle.  
   
   
       5 . A method for drawing fluid from a sump for circulation, comprising: 
 providing a reciprocating member,    providing at least one intake nozzle,    providing at least one rotating collar,    providing at least one fluid inlet port, and    providing at least one fluid outlet port,    wherein the motion of the reciprocating member is in directions defined by the center axis of the nozzle,    the intake nozzle is mounted on the rotating collar via which it is in communication with the fluid inlet port, and    the intake nozzle may communicate with a fluid source.    
   
   
       6 . A method as in  claim 5  wherein the rotating collar with the intake nozzle mounted thereon, may rotate about the reciprocating rod such that the intake nozzle will tend to orient itself to extend from the reciprocating rod in the direction of the prevailing gravity or “g” forces in the plane of rotation.  
   
   
       7 . A method as in  claim 5  wherein the fluid, after being taken up from the fluid source by the intake nozzle, returns to the fluid source via the fluid outlet port.  
   
   
       8 . A method as in  claim 5  wherein ballast is added to the intake nozzle.
