The ball "bearing asseni-bly takes "both r'adi'al and thrust loads.
I fShaft 12 is provided with-another offset 19 adjacent disharge housing "5. A hardenefd renewable :wearing sleevef20n1ounted on the shaft 'abuts offset 19 at one end. 'Theotherend'of sleeve 20 is held in place by a spacerZl which'abuts :aflinger 2'2 at its other 'end. J'Ihe flinger fis secured to shaft 1 12 by a bolt '23.

Awear plate z8 is 'secure'dto 'the face ofl bracket 7 by means of bolts 28'. Wear pla-te 28 is positioned adjacent :the rearfface 'of:irnpeller. 29 which is keyed to shaft 12 so :as '5 to 'rot'ate therewith :and is kept from -lo'ngitudinal movement :towards: plate "28 I by :means of :a 1 look nut. -30rthreaded 'ontor threadsi 31 cut onithe outer surface of shaft 12 "adjacent offset 19. A plurality of involute curved flutes '32 I extend laterally -fr'orn the :rear surface of impeller :29.

Another portion 34 of wear plate 28 is flush with the fixed flutes to provide a sealing surface to increase the efliciency of the counter pumping action induced by flutes 32 and to aid in preventing the entrance of material into the lower pressure stufling box area.
A screw conveyor 35 is keyed to shaft 12 adjacent one edge of impeller 29. The screw conveyor is provided with screw flutes 36 for carrying the liquid towards impeller 29 and axial ribs 36' to throw the solid and semisolid materials towards the cutting members. The other end of the conveyor is held against longitudinal displacement by a lock nut 37 threaded on to a thread 38 provided on shaft 12 adjacent the end of suction housing 2. The end of shaft 12 extends beyond screw conveyor 35 and is joumalled in a bearing 39.
Suction housing 2 is provided with a removable liner 40 secured at one end to a wear plate 41 by bolts 42. Renewable cutting blades 43 are secured to liner 40 by means of bolts 44. The cutting edge of blade 43 cooperates with the outer edge of screw flutes 36 to comminute any solid or semisolid material carried by the liquid flowing from intake 4 to impeller 29. As conveyor 35 is rotated axial ribs 36 provide a centrifugal action in the liquid that tends to throw the solid and semisolid material in the liquid towards cutting blades 43 even when the flow is low, and thereby facilitate the comminution of the solid and semisolid material whenever any liquid flows towards the impeller. A throat cutting ring 45 is mounted within the center aperture of wear plate 41 and cooperates .with screw flutes 36 adjacent the impeller to comminute solid and semisolid material in the liquid.
A labyrinth sealing plate 46 is secured to the opposite end of liner 40 by means of bolts 47. The space adjacent the sealing labyrinth is packed with hard fibrous grease. In order to prevent the liquid from flowing into the sealing labyrinth the screw conveyor 35 is provided at its end adjacent the labyrinth with a sealing impeller comprising an integral cog-shaped flange 49 having a scalloped peripheral surface which creates a turbulence at that point tending to throw the liquid outwardly toward flutes 36, and thereby keeps the liquid from entering the joint between the inner edge of plate 46 and lock nut 37. A bearing retaining plate 50, which encloses bearing 39, is secured to the end of liner 40 by means of bolts 51 which pass through labyrinth 46. A grease fixture 52 is secured to the bearing retaining plate to lubricate the portion of shaft 12 within bearing 39.
The operation of the pump is very simple. Liquid, such as sewage, containing solid and semisolid material passes through intake 4 and is carried by screw conveyor 35 to impeller 29. The rotary movement of axial ribs 36' on the conveyor throws the solid and semisolid material towards cutting blades 43 which cooperate with the outer edge of screw flutes 36 to comminute the solid and semisolid material so that the liquid reaching impeller 29 is substantially free of solid and semisolid material. If any solid or semisolid material falls between impeller 29 and wear plate 28 it is comminuted by the interaction of involute curved flutes 32 and 33. The liquid is discharged through discharge housing by the impeller.
' If any part of the apparatus becomes worn or breaks so as to require repair or replacement, it is easily accessible without dismantling the pump casings from the pipe lines. If bolts 8 are removed it is possible to remove bracket 7 along with hearing cap 9, shaft 12, ball bearing assembly 17, flingers 22, packing assembly 2527, wear plate 28, impeller 29, and screw conveyor 35 as a complete subassembly. Bearing 39 and its retaining plate 50 may be removed byremoving bolts 51. The entire liner subassembly, including liner 40, cutting blades 43, throat cutting ring 45, wear plate 41 and labyrinth plate 46 may then be removed as a unit, leaving 4 only stationary support and suction housing 2, and discharge casing 5, with the piping connections unbroken.
While I have described a preferred embodiment of my invention in considerable detail, it will be understood that the description thereof is intended to be illustrative, rather than restrictive, as many .details may be modified or changed without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Accordingly, I do not desire to be restricted to the exact construction described.
