  • Patent number: 4874297
    Abstract: In a valveless pump, a pump body, having a central chamber, is provided with a radially disposed array of pistons movable toward and away from the axis of the pump body. Cylinder heads cooperate with the pistons in controlling fluid movement through the pump. A drive shaft extends axially into the pump chamber and includes a surrounding eccentric cam. A linkage assembly pivotally connects the inward end portions of the several pistons with a tether ring surrounding the drive shaft for maintaining the pistons in contact with the eccentric cam and reciprocating the pistons in sequence for moving fluid through conduits sequentially communicating with the several piston cylinders.
