Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A rotary working component for use in a pump, compressor, blower or the like having an impeller, rotor, fan blade or other similar component includes a metallic insert and a composite structure overmolded on the metallic insert. The metallic insert can include an aperture adapted to mount the rotary working component to a drive shaft and a fluted catenoid or truncated spherical or spheroid outer surface having smooth contours between fluted regions thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A rotary working component, comprising: a metallic insert and a composite structure overmolded on said metallic insert, said metallic insert including an aperture adapted to mount the rotary working component to a drive shaft and a fluted catenoid outer surface having smooth contours between fluted regions thereof, wherein the composite structure is overmolded on the fluted catenoid outer surface. 2. The rotary working component according to claim 1 , wherein the rotary working component is one of an impeller, a rotor, a fan blade, and a gerotor. 3. A rotary working component, comprising: a metallic insert and a composite structure overmolded on said metallic insert, said metallic insert including an aperture adapted to mount the rotary working component to a drive shaft and a fluted truncated spherical or spheroid outer surface having smooth contours between fluted regions thereof, wherein the composite structure is overmolded on the fluted truncated spherical or spheroid outer surface. 4. The rotary working component according to claim 3 , wherein the rotary working component is one of an impeller, a rotor, a fan blade, and a gerotor.
