Abstract: The fluid pump has a pump impeller provided with vanes and driven to revolve in a pump chamber that is defined by one wall portion each in the direction of the rotary axis of the pump impeller. In both wall portions, toward the pump impeller, there is an annular supply conduit and an outlet opening that discharges into one supply conduit. The outlet opening is defined in the rotational direction of the pump impeller by a wall which comes to an end in the form of an edge of the end face of the wall portion. The edge has an inner portion, which is inclined in the rotational direction relative to the rotary axis with respect to an imaginary radial arrangement. The inner edge portion is adjoined by an outer edge portion, which relative to an imaginary rectilinear lengthening of the inner edge portion extends farther in the rotational direction. As a result of this embodiment, an improved outflow from the supply conduit through the outlet opening has been obtained.

Abstract: A fuel feed assembly with a feed pump of the roller-cell pump type, of which the pump rotor rotates eccentrically in a pumping chamber has a plurality of rollers which are guided in radial grooves of the disk-shaped pump rotor and are distributed uniformly over the circumference. When the pump rotor is rotating, the rollers run, as a result of the centrifugal force, on a bore wall of an intermediate ring radially delimiting the pumping chamber. The bore wall forms a running track. At the same time, the rollers delimit individual sickle-shaped pump rotor and the bore wall and the volume decreases from a suction port towards a delivery port as a result of the eccentricity of the pump rotor. At the same time, there is provided between the delivery port and suction port in the direction of rotation of the pump rotor a narrow-gap region which, according to the invention, is made so large that the pump working spaces passing through this region are closed completely.
