5 Piece Gorham Queen Anne Style Sterling Silver Coffee Tea Set:
This is a 5 Piece Gorham Sterling Silver coffee/tea set in their Queen Ann Style. It is beauitfully styled, simple, and elegant. It includes a coffee pot, tea pot, creamer, sugar bowl with lid, and waste bowl. The handles of coffee/tea pot are made out of wood. I will let the pictures of this beautiful set to speak for themselves.
I believe these items were made in 1945. The underneath of each piece is marked with the number "5" in a square. The square corresponds to the decade 1940 and 5 corresponds to the year; hence 1945.
The entire set weighs apporximately 82.2ounces (2331 grams) and the breakdown of individual items are as follows:
1) Coffee pot weighs 23.4 ounces (664 grams). It measures 7 7/8inches in height and 8 inches in width including handle.
2) Tea pot weights 28.1 ounces (797 grams). It measures9 inchesin height and 8 1/4 inches in width including handle.
3) Sugar bowl weighs 15.7 ounces (445 grams). It measures 4 inches in height including lid and 7inches in diameter including handles and 4 inches without handles.
4) Creamer weighs7.7 ounces (218 grams). It measures 4 1/2 inches in height and 4 1/2 inchesin width including handle.
5) Waste bowl weighs7.3 ounces (207 grams). It measures 2 1/2 inches in height and 4 1/2 inches in diameter.
Each item is fully hallmarked with the appropriate Gorham markings as 1) "Gorham" 2) "Sterling" 3) Gorham symbols: Lion, Anchor and G 4)Number five enclosed by a square set is in amazing condition. There is only one small dent on the creamer (See photo) and minor surface scratches on all of the itemswhich are due to use over the years. Each piece is monogrammed with a stylish "S" on one side (Please see photos). The lids of all items close nicely without any issues. Please note that these items are used and a certain amount of wear and tear should be expected.
Please let me know if you have any questions and I will answer them accordingly. Good luck and happy offerding.

WAS $99.99 NOW $59.99 Review Content So great we bought a 2nd one! Outstanding sound quality! This is our 2nd one and we are giving it as a gift to our daughter. Easy to use and works perfect with the new iPhone. Excellent product. Needs Iphone 5 The gift was well received, but I did not realize (which I should have) that this model only works with Iphone 5. We have Iphone 4S thus disappointment. I read the reviews and all, but was thinking this was the II model not the III. I also did not realize it ONLY worked with lighting connector. We are going to keep the product and wait until we can update our phone. BE SURE YOU ARE USING WITH IPHONE 5 FOR THERE IS NO ADAPTER TO MAKE IPHONE 4 OR 3 WORK WITH THIS MODEL Great way to listen to music Usual Bose quality and reliability. Provides a great sound considering the size. The controls are simple to use. Highly recommended. Suggest Bose as a brand instead of other similar items purchased from Sharper Image that were not as good in regard to both sound quality and reliability. The few dollars more were well spent. Sharpest sound Ive ever heard Been wanting to get a Bose product for a long time and this was a great way to start The sound quality is fabulous! I use this all the time. It is very simple just set my iPhone in the slot, turn it on and I have great quality sound. Very Nice We are very pleased with the ease of use and the clear sound produced by this Bose product. It is small and sharply designed that fits our kitchen counter perfectly. The clear sound is a pleasure and is what we were hoping for. GREAT SOUND! I am technologically challenged, and it was so easy to just dock my iPod! Woo Hoo! Not sure Was told there was an adaptor since we do not yet have the I phone 5, but have yet to find one. Even apple doesnt make one. So far unable to use this system except for an auxiliary cable which decreases the sound quality..

I).Habibti, who was bred by Rosemont Farm and produced from the Temperence Hill mare Miss Sobriety, failed to find the winner's circle in seven 2002 starts, but did manage to place in four stakes, including the grade I Kentucky and Santa Anita Oaks and the Las Virgenes Stakes.Habibti will remain with Baffert for another week to 10 days, then sent to Kentucky.

J&K to discuss direct Haj flight with Centre
Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir government will hold a meeting with the Centre next week to press for the resumption of a direct flight from Srinagar to Saudi Arabia during Haj this year.
"Minister of State for Haj, Ajaz Ahmad Khan, is holding a meeting with Union government after Eid-ul-Fitr to seek a direct Haj flight from Srinagar to Jeddah," Chief Executive Officer of State Haj Committee, Abdul Salam, said here.
The government is keen to see early resumption of flights from Srinagar to Jeddah, which were introduced in October, 2008, but later suspended.
This evoked a strong resentment by Haj aspirants as the pilgrims face a lot of problems while embarking on the holy journey through Delhi, Salam said.
On the number of devotees this year, he said as many as 8,673 would be performing Haj from the state.
"All necessary arrangements have been put in place to ensure safe journey and proper accommodation of the pilgrims during their stay in Saudi Arabia," he said.
The passports of 7,873 intending pilgrims have been sent to the Haj Committee of India for visa endorsement while passports of the rest will also be dispatched to them in time, he added.

They got some Satisfaction! Gwen Stefani and the Olsen twins rock out at surprise Rolling Stones gig as the band prepares for its 50 & Counting U.S. tour
They famously sang they could not get any Satisfaction.
But the Rolling Stones certainly served up plenty for a gaggle of celebrity fans in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Gwen Stefani, the Olsen twins, Owen Wilson and Bruce Willis were just a few of the high profile stars who turned out to see the English rock veterans play a surprise club gig.
No Doubt she had a good time: Gwen Stefani was one of the stars who somehow managed to get a tickety to see the Rolling Stones' club gig in Los Angeles on Saturday
No Doubt star Gwen would definitely have no regrets about turning out to see the elder statesmen of rock give an entirely serviceable performance of some of their greatest hits.
They were certainly able to work out at least a few of their wrinkles as they jammed through the likes of Brown Sugar and Jumpin' Jack Flash.
And they really rolled back the years when they played a slew of classic covers such as Chuck Berry's Little Queenie and The Temptations Just My Imagination, harkening back to their Brian Jones-led beginnings.
She had to be dragged away: A burly minder held the singer's hand as she was led away from the venue
Showing her how its done: Even a veteran like Gwen could have picked up some tips from rock and roll OAP Mick Jagger
Twin attractions: The band would have been excited to see Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in the audience
Playing at the trendy Echoplex nightclub, Mick Jagger, 69, joked: 'Welcome to Echo Park, a neighborhood that's always coming up - and I'm glad you're here to welcome an up-and-coming band.'
Cameras and smartphones were not allowed inside the venue, which usually plays host to fly-by-night hipster groups and indie no-hopers.
But that did not stop Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp being spotted with his on-off lover Amber Heard, who held his hand as they enjoyed the action.
The surprise show served as a useful warm-up a week ahead of the 60s legends kicking off their mammoth U.S. 50 and Counting tour to mark half a century in the music business.
The man himself: Mick would have enjoyed having the chance to work out some wrinkles ahead of the tour
A-list on the guest list: Bruce Willis and Owen Wilson also managed to wrangle some sought after tickets
The return of Bruno: It must have been tempting for experienced musician Bruce to leap on stage for an impromptu duet
That's more like it: Rachel Hunter and Kimberly Stewart were both in attendance for the exciting show
Hundreds of fans, alerted on the band's Twitter account, lined up from as early as 5 a.m. on Saturday to get hold of the $20 dollar tickets for the concert at the 320 person capacity venue.
Tickets were distributed by a lottery system and unsurprisingly sold out rather quickly.
The are officially launching their 17-date North American tour on May 3 in Los Angeles, which comes on the back of a handful of dates in London, Paris and New York at the end of 2012.
Tickets for the Los Angeles opening concert at the Staples Center arena went on sale on April 15 and are still available at prices up to $600 each.
Down low: Johnny Depp tried to hide his face as he left the venue with comely companion Amber Heard
An unlikely couple: As well as one-time musical wannabe Johnny, Maria Shriver were also in the audience
Famous face: Kesha looked like she had indulged herself at the iconic band's latest performance
Woods you believe it: Movie star James was another of the celebrities who were able to win tickets
Axeman Mick Taylor, who played with the Stones from 1969 to 1974, will join Mick, guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood and drummer Charlie Watts, as a guest on the North American tour.
The Stones will be playing on a specially designed stage in the shape of their tongue-and-lips logo, allowing the OAP frontman to get up close to fans.
As was the case last year, the set list is expected to focus on classic Stones hits like Gimme Shelter, Paint it Black and Jumping Jack Flash.
Later in the summer they will play London's Hyde Park, before moving on to make a first appearance at the Glastonbury music festival.
Who needs Prince: While the hitmaker is renowned for performing shows at small venues it is far rarer for the Stones
Warming down: After the show Gwen headed to Bootsy Bellows in the trendy West Hollywood area
Big stars: DJ Samantha Ronson and reality television personality Rachel Zoe were also in attendance
Dragged along: Minka Kelly was also there and was said to be joined by Captain America Chris Evans

An important clarification exposing the reality of the speech of Hishām Abouzeid regarding his recent article "Debunking the Rumors of Those Who Wish to Stop the Voice of the Scholars in the West." This crucial clarification makes manifest Hishām's deceitful insinuations that our brother Abū Zaynab Yūsuf Diab was somehow connected with those responsible for claiming our brother Abū Muhammad al-Maghribī is warning against him (Hishām). However, when one examines Hishām's article, it is evident that it is an attempt to cause dissension among the very fabric of the established and unified Salafī institution in the West by asserting that questioning his credibility as a translator, or not using his translations is somehow stopping the voice of the scholars in the West.
An excerpt taken from the Clarfication
"• Abū Muḥammad said he was contacted by the individual Hishām Abouzeid while he (Abū Muḥammad) was about to board the flight on his way to the conference at Masjid ar-Raḥmah on Thursday 28th July, and Hishām stated that there was a brother circulating some speech on the Whatsapp groups and other social media platforms that Abū Muḥammad was warning against him (Hishām). He then went on to insinuate that I, Yūsuf Diab, was somehow connected with those responsible for this narration.
• Firstly, for the record, I did not tell anyone that Abū Muḥammad warned against Hishām Abouzeid.
• Secondly, Abū Muḥammad stated that he did not encourage Hishām to write any such warning and/or mention my name in any of that speech, in a manner to show that he is displeased with me in any way.
• Thirdly, Abū Muḥammad did mention that he knew me, but not very well, and he met me in Philadelphia and commended me for my efforts in spreading the Da'wah.
• He (Abū Muḥammad) did not expect that Hishām would use his speech in such a cleverly compiled article to suggest that he (Abū Muḥammad) was disparaging me, Yūsuf Diab."
Bismillāh wa-Alḥamdulillāh wa al-Ṣalātu wa al-Salām 'alā Rasūlillāh 'amma ba'd
By the Permission of Allāh, Muwahhideen Publications and Islam.TT are extremely pleased to announce a six-day knowledge-based seminar and workshop with attending guest, our noble brother and teacher Abū Ḥakīm Bilāl Ibn Aḥmad Davis (May Allāh Preserve Him) who is a student of a number of the major scholars of our time including Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jābirī, Shaykh Rabī' Ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī and Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī, to name a few (May Allāh Preserve Them All). For this knowledge-based seminar and workshop, which commences on Monday 1st August and concludes on Saturday 6th August 2016, we will be focusing on the ways in which the various ills of society can be cured, according to the Qur'ān and Sunnah upon the understanding of our Pious Predecessors.

Andy Axel tells it like it is in a comment below which I shall post on the front page here...
This is the daily friggin' battle.
We elect a Democrat into the governor's office who trashes workers' comp, throws people off their health insurance, his support for Senate candidates nets the loss of the Senate majority, he chides supporters of the Kerry candidacy in 2004, and we help to re-elect him anyway because JIM! Bryson is such a nutsack.
We throw our support behind Harold Ford Jr. even though he quickly proceeds to sell out progressive causes throughout his campaign, and watch helplessly as he jumps into a cozy seat in the GOP-lite DLC chair.
We're forced to endure multiple indignities on progressive issues like gay marriage because stupid Democrats walk right into these traps set for us by Republicans, and because, well, we suck at framing issues and try to lead by following.
We get the John Fords and Ward Crutchfields and Dave Cooleys and Doug Henrys and Jerry Coopers and Jimmy Naifehs working on our account. Big whoop.
It's the daily death by a thousand cuts, and the guy almost always wielding the knife for the coup de grace in this godforsaken place always seems to have a donkey on his lapel. (And I do mean "his.") And then we get to play laughingstock to the smug, self-righteous "fuck the South" types. Not saying that Tennessee doesn't earn it at times, but Brittney Gilbert sure as hell didn't. These people conveniently forget: If Al Gore had spent five minutes here, he'd probably be president today.
This isn't any kind of news to anyone, I'm certain.
Now we have to sweat national bloggers enforcing their own vision of partisan piety, and doing so at the expense of people with the least influence and zero actual power.
Et tu, PatriotBoy?
To which I can add... not much right now, because that pretty much sums it up. I'm still formulating my thoughts. I will have more on this later.
Andy nails it again
Whoever you are Andy Axel, you hit it on the head again.
What about Brittney's opinion?
Hi everyone:
In all the fervor, I think many of us may have missed the point of Brittney's resignation. This gong-show hasn't happened in isolation. As per Brittney's resignation letter:
I've been thinking about this decision for a long, long time, so don't go thinking that anyone in particular won here. Nobody specifically pushed me out. This decision is the culmination of lots of long hours of pondering, checking myself, and wondering if I've got what it takes. I decided I don't.
So why don't we all leave well enough alone and let her get on with her life? Same goes for Patriotboy. They both made mistakes, they both admit it, and they both apologize. Brittney makes it clear that she wasn't too happy in her job anyway. So Andy Axel and all the rest of you, if you're unhappy with her decision, take it up with her, rather than her those who critiqued her to keep her accountable.
It's about the same on the
It's about the same on the national level. Only 14 Senators can be found to try to overide the veto of the war funding bill even though the will of the people is evident. I wrote Dean, Pelosi and Reid after that embarrasment and said after 40 years of supporting Democrats, my donations and probably my vote just started going elsewhere. Of course, I got not even an acknowledgement of my letters.
James Carville nailed it the other night on C-Span. He said he had good news for both Republicans and Democrats. For the D's: The American people want to vote Democratic. For the R's : The Democrats are perfectly capable of talking the American people out of it.
We get the John Fords and
We get the John Fords and Ward Crutchfields and Dave Cooleys and Doug Henrys and Jerry Coopers and Jimmy Naifehs working on our account. Big whoop.
Well said. A very salient, if depressing point.
And onward goes this thing of ours.
I'm still somewhere between outrage and sadness over this whole deal. Obviously, there's a lot tied up in this, and I'm trying my best to keep my feelings about Brittney's professional decision separate from this thing we do.
A lot has been bubbling up in my own personal and professional life, and I'd like to do this community a courtesy that we won't be getting from the Smug Soldiers in JG's rank & file.
By way of an example: "Democommie" showed up over there and outlined his rationale (or, rather, his rationalization). I still don't agree with what he did there, and I'm still heartsick over this outcome. I have a long post that I had been considering sticking up on NiT, but they're well up on 340+ comments and the horse is dead, in repose, and will start to turn fallow soon.
Still, blogging is just a tactic. And in some ways, I think it's actually a distraction from the real work that needs to be done in this Republic as a whole. I still believe that you can only put the truth out there, and then to trust that the outcome will be favorable. Many times, it's not. Many times, it feels like the deck is hopelessly stacked against progress.
I am, however, sick to tears of rage of being blamed, time and again, for the crap state of affairs by people who should goddamned well know better. Brittney was unfairly targeted because JG could use her employment status as leverage, but she was also unfairly called to account for generations of racism and unfairly called to account for printing someone else's words in a manner summarily judged to be unfit. Later, she didn't apologize correctly enough, or sincerely enough, or whatever enough a vaffanculo. The shit people were slinging her way was breathtakingly ungrounded, much of it vile, and it was far out of proportion to any sin that she was alleged to have committed.
I believe this was an outgrowth of an incipient set of myopic political heuristics that perpetuate the myth that The South is the wellspring of this society's troubles, and is therefore expendable politically. I watched this spin out of control on DKos last year as dedicated progressive citizens of TN were chided, lambasted, and called every name in the book for supporting Harold Ford Jr. and his stupid, doomed candidacy. Then, in the wake of that, we're to blame for not being progressive enough for the progressives, even though there's no infrastructure to support that cause, but we won't get that infrastructure because we don't win, so we continue to lose out on progressive causes.
(And the prescription from Democommie at NiT? "Go make [more progressives]." Yeah. It's just that easy, huh. [slaps forehead] Gee, I've been doing this the hard way! Say, I believe I'll go make nuclear fusion while I'm at it. Shall I solve world hunger on my way home today, too?)
And so it goes.
Thanks for promoting this to the front page, Randy. I look forward to seeing what thoughts this whole episode has brought up for you.
So Andy Axel and all the rest of you, if you're unhappy with her decision, take it up with her, rather than her those who critiqued her to keep her accountable.
Well, I will. That is, I plan to.
All the same, there is indeed a wider context to these events, and I invite you to learn about it. (In this case, the wider context was Egalia's observation that "I think there's some kind of awful lesson in the fact that the final straw came from the left"). That's truer than n00bs to this community realize, and it has much larger implications in 3D reality.
The Tennessee blogging community isn't just about people and their jobs, it's about passions and politics as well, and there are a lot of voices to add to that chorus.
And I will still feel free to critique people who say ungrounded things about people that they don't know. I will absolutely critique unfair treatment from people who can't see past their petty assumptions. If you don't like my opinions? I invite you to engage responsibly or to find your browser's back button.
(some late edits for clarity.)
I'm a guy in a Reagan mask -- and I'm running for President!
(I'd imagined that I had something pertinent to say, I thought, but then I read it again, I realized, "Jeez. I'm fast becoming the Tennessee blogosphere's answer to Walter Sobchak.")
"F*ck it, Dude. Let's go bowling."
And yeah, metulj. Fair enough.
I'm a guy in a Reagan mask -- and I'm running for President!
(blump) See above.
I'm a guy in a Reagan mask -- and I'm running for President!
Is it just me, or has anyone
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that NIT has taken a turn to the right in the short time since Brittney's departure?
Also, some blogs that came out strong in her support seem to no longer be showing up on the aggregator, including Michael Silence.
Nice work, PatriotBoy!

Duke's Inbox - A Cesspit of Filth
As many will have noticed, Torn's loan-shark Duke has been decidedly more active of late; his recent forum posts in response to planned attacks upon his person coming hot on the heels of a somewhat surprising offer of charitable aid to the people of the city.
Many in Torn took this opportunity to offer up rivals and enemies as targets for the faux-Mafia bruiser, and while it is not yet known what became of those whose names found their way onto Mr Calabrese's naughty ...
Faction Beta - What to expect
The announcement of the factions 2.0 update is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated developments in recent years. Just recently the second batch of factions were introduced to 2.0 beta testing, and with many of Torn's users eager to see how this overhaul will affect their own faction, now seems as good a time as any to take a brief look at what players have gleaned from the process so far.
For many, the beta experience involves a short...
Tornography - Adamantium's Story
This year Torn's annual Easter Egg Competition saw more players take part than ever before, with Adamantium coming joint first alongside -asc3nt- after acquiring an astonishing 21 eggs. However, with the winner decided by a game of rock paper scissors - something Adamantium lost after being bludgeoned with the rock, stabbed with the scissors and given a series of paper-cuts to the groin - he had to settle for an eggscruciating second-place billing on the leader-board.
Torn Dump - Where Dreams Are Made
Torn's Municipal dump isn't the most exciting place, and it's doubtful most citizens ever give second thought to the items casually discarded here. Tissues, bouquets, jewellery; only a small number of these abandoned trinkets end up scavenged by the city's poor, as of the 80 million possessions trashed a mere 17 million have ever been recovered.
This discrepancy of more than 60 million items lain waste cannot continue. Our recycling efforts are frankly non-existent, a...
Intimidation of the Press
On the 19th of July I commenced my day as I would any other, with a bottle of Tequila, two Xanax chasers and a box of extra strong mints - just in case mother pops round. After breakfast I began to trawl through the forums and city stats for interesting morsels of news that might make for a compelling read in next week's paper, when something rather odd happened.
Something that had never happened before to me in Torn or else...

a great shot my only criticism would be that he should really look INTO the picture not out of it but still very worthy of a vote

Kreitchman, Irvington, N. 5., assignor to International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, a corporation of Maryland Application March 10, 1947, Serial No. 733,682
6 Claims. 1
The present invention relates to a new and novel means for retaining water in a pump chambar and more particularly to a pump impeller in a pump casing with a shaft to rotate the pump impeller and a sealing means between the pump impeller and pump casing or bearing to prevent leakage from the pump chamber to the exterior.
In the use of washing machines, a pump mechanism having an inlet and outlet attaches to the main washing tub of the washing machine, in an outlet line leading from the tub, to rapidly drain the washing machine of water. The pump mechanism of the type herein described has an impeller of rubber or other resilient material. If a hard object such as buttons, buckles, etc. enters the pump chamber, the rubber vanes of the impeller being distortable pass over the hard object without injury to the pump impeller. In passing over any hard objects, the impeller exerts a drag or pull on the hard object to move it to the pump outlet without stopping the pump action and consequently without halting the draining of the washing machine tub.
Objects of the invention are to provide: a new seal between an impeller in a pump chamber and a shaft to rotate the impeller attached thereto with relation to a pump casing; a new sealing means for pump impellers which eliminates the use of stuffing boxes, packing glands or similar means for containing water in a pump chamber; a new combination impeller and seal arrangement whereby high sealing pressures are provided when the pump is not in use, which is the large percentage of the time, and the pressure on the sealing means relieved by centrifugal force when the impeller is rotated at high speed to thus insure a minimum wear on the sealing means during operation of the pump; a sealing means for pumps that is simple in construction, durable and economical; and a shaft sealing arrangement whereby an impeller shaft of ordinary material may be employed without concern for non-corrosive qualities.
The invention includes the provision of an impeller carried on a shaft for operation within the pump casing. The shaft extends through an inwardly projecting portion of the casing which forms a bearing for the shaft. The improvement in the present invention consists of a sealing means between the impeller and the bearing portion of the casing to seal the space therebetween and about the impeller shaft. The sealing means may be attached to the impeller or formed as an integral part thereof in the form of an extension of the impeller. The impeller extension is preferably thinned or feathered so that by making the inner diameter thereof smaller than the bearing portion it may be stretched to fit snugly thereover and thereby maintain a satisfactory seal. This sealing engagement with the bearing portion may thus be effected by either tension of the rubber extension stretched thereover or biased by spring pressure or pressure of fluid from the tub or both. A can or sleeve member may be placed over the end or sides of the bearing portion to insure a smooth contacting surface for the impeller extension during rotation. A metallic bushing may be embedded in the impeller to attach the shaft to the impeller, or the shaft may be molded in the impeller material. Where the shaft is molded in the impeller with the seal of m present invention, a shaft may be selected for economic reasons without concern whether or not the shaft material has non-corrosive qualities.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention will be more fully described hereinafter and will be particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

Figure 2 is a sectional View through the pump casing showing one species of sealing means between the impeller and bearing portion;

Figures 5 and 6 are part sectional views of the pump showing still further forms of sealing means.
Figure 1 shows a pump generally represented at l includes a casing 2 having an inlet 3 and an outlet i. The casing 2 has a cover plate 5 with spring latches 6 engageable with lugs 1.
An impeller 8, made of rubber or other resilient material, and having one, two or more blades, is rotatably mounted in the casing 2. A shaft 9 is rigidly connected, preferably by insert molding, to the impeller 8 at one end thereof while the other end connects with a source of motive power (not shown). The casing 2 has an inwardly extending portion ill which forms a bearing for the shaft 9. In Figure 2 a bearing member I I is included between the shaft 9 and bearing portion ill of the casing.
The improvement in the present invention resides in sealing the space between the pump chamber within casing 2 and the shaft 9. In
3 the figure 2, the bearing portion ID has a cap or sleeve member I2 preferably of a material such as a hard wearing plastic or stainless steel. The impeller 8 has an annular extension 13 extending outwardly to form a socket for receiving shaft 9.
A thrust bearing [4 is disposed at the bottom of the socket for contact with cap l2. As can readily be seen, extension I3 is feathered and fits snugly around bearing portion It to seal the space between bearing portion and the impeller 8. When the impeller 8 is not rotating during the normal wash period, water from the wash tub fills inlet 3 under a static head. In this condition the feathered rubber lip or extension I3 is forced into sealing engagement with bearing portion l2 mainly due to the tension set up in stretching the rubber lip over the bearing portion. During the drain period, the pump impeller 8 is rotated and the centrifugal force induced by this rotation lessens the sealing pressure of the feathered rubber lip on the bearing portion 12, thus greatly reducing wear of the sealing surfaces. A good tight seal is maintained when the inlet 3 is under static head and the pump is not operating, which is the majority of the time, and when the pump is operating a lighter seal pressure is realized which greatly reduces heat which would be generated under the much higher pressure.
In the species of Figure 4, the bearing portion [5 has a cap member i6 thereon, and the impeller I! has an integral feathered extension i8 similarly as described for Figure 1 which seals with cap member 16 on the end of bearing portion IS. A coil spring I9 is placed around extension [8 to force or distort the resilient extension into sealing engagement with the bearing portion 15. A second extension 2'51 integral with impeller ll extends from the outer edge of the impeller to provide a cover for coil spring 19. A metallic bushing 21 is embedded in impeller I1 and shaft 9 is rigidly attached thereto. A flat spring member 22 is placed between bushing 2| and cap 16 to serve as a wear plate due to relative rotary motion between the two members.
Figure 5 is another embodiment similar in many respects to the embodiment shown in Figure 4. The extension 23, in this embodiment, extends coaxially of the impeller 24 and is adapted to overlie the cylindrical surface of bearing member 25 supported by portion 2E5 of the casing. To ensure adequate sealing pressure, a coil spring 21 is placed over the extension 23.
Figure 6 shows a further variation wherein the bearing portion of the casing is provided with an annular abutment 29 capped over with a sheet of metal 30 such as stainless steel. The impeller is provided with an annular extension 3i adapted to engage and form a seal with the metal cap 30. To ensure adequate engagement, a spring 32 is placed on the shaft 9 between bearing 34 and an abutment 35 keyed to the shaft. The spring 32 urges the shaft in a direction to force the extension 3i against the metal surface 30.
While the invention has been described in connection with several specific embodiments, it is to be understood that the words which have been used are words of description rather than of limitation, and that practice of the invention within the scope of the appended claims may be resorted to without departing from the true scope ofthe invention in all its aspects.
I claim:
1. In a pump structure, the combination comprising: a pump having a housing, a rotary resilient pumping element of deformable material cooperating with the internal walls of the housing, bushing means in said housing, said bushing means having a circular projection extending into said resilient pump element and encircled by said element to deform said material radially outward and to thereby be resiliently engaged.
2. A pump having in combination, a casing including inlet and outlet ports, a shaft disposed within said casing and rotatably mounted in respect thereto, an impeller of resilient material including an annular lip portion encircling said shaft, a bearing element interposed between said shaft and said lip portion, said lip portion being inherently biased for fluid sealing engagement with said bearing element during impeller actuated fluid fiow through said casing and adapted to more firmly engage said bearing element upon static hydraulic pressure built-up within said casmg.
3. A pump having in combination, a casing including inlet and outlet ports, a shaft partially disposed within said casing and rotatably mounted in respect thereto, an impeller of resilient material including an annular lip portion encircling said shaft, a bearing element interposed between said shaft and said lip portion, said lip portion being inherently biased for fluid sealing engagement with said bearing element during impeller actuated fiuid flow through said casing and adapted to more firmly engage said bearing element upon static hydraulic pressure build-up within said casing.
4. The pump of claim 3 wherein the sealing surface of said bearing element comprises a metal offering high resistance to wear due to rotation of said resilient impeller lip portion in respect thereto.
5. The pump of claim 3 wherein a bearing sleeve is interposed between said bearing element and said lip portion.
6. A pump structure including a casing provided with inlet and outlet ports and a shaft receiving aperture, a drive shaft extending through said aperture to the interior of said casing, means journaling said driving shaft in respect to said casing, said means including a packing member fixed to said casing and a bearing sleeve snugly engaged between said member and said shaft and including a portion extending into said casing beyond said packing member, an impeller of resilient material fixedly mounted on said shaft within said casing for rotation therewith and including a hub portion provided with an axially extending annular skirt-like integral extension receivable about said sleeve element and inherently biased for light contractile engage ment with the surface thereof, said skirt-like impeller portion being adapted to sealingly engage said sleeve as the result of said inherent contractile biasing during periods of fluid fiow through said casing rotation of said impeller and to engage said sleeve under substantially increased pressure during periods of non-rotation of said impeller due to inwardly directed pressure thereon resulting from increased static pressure build-up of fluid within said casing during said latter periods.
