A rotating pumping apparatus is provided which may be employed in an automotive brake system. The rotating pumping apparatus includes a sealing member and a pressure member. The sealing member is disposed around a pump drive shaft. The pressure member includes a plate spring, a first rotation stopper, and a second rotation stopper. The first rotation stopper serves to stop the pressure member from rotating following rotation of the pump drive shaft. The second rotation stopper engages the seal ring to stop the sealing member from rotating following the rotation of the pump drive shaft. The plate spring works to elastically press the sealing member against a stopper wall of a pump casing to stop the sealing member from moving in an axial direction of the pump drive shaft.

A coupling device including a first rotary member and a second rotary member are opposed and connected to each other on the same axial line, wherein a cap to cover a connection part is a cylindrical shape having a bottom wall and a protrusion insertion hole formed on the bottom wall and covers the first rotary member from a connection end-side of the first rotary member, wherein the cap is axially urged by an elastic member to bring at least one of an opening-side end face and the bottom wall of the cap into contact with an annular end face formed on the first rotary member, and wherein an accommodation chamber of the connection part is formed in the cap to reserve lubricant, and an exit of the accommodation chamber of the connection part is blocked or narrowed by a force of the elastic member.

Coupling device for connecting rotary members

A coupling device comprises a drive portion formed on a drive shaft and having a drive wall surface extending in the direction of a rotation axis; a driven portion formed on a driven shaft and having a driven wall surface extending in the direction of the rotation axis; a convex curved portion formed on one of the drive wall surface and the driven wall surface and extending along the rotation axis at a position spaced from the rotation axis as viewed in the direction of the rotation axis; and a concave curved portion having a smaller curvature than that of the convex curved portion and formed on the other of the drive wall surface and the driven wall surface to contact the convex curved portion and extending along the rotation axis at a position spaced from the rotation axis as viewed in the direction of the rotation axis.

A filter to be mounted in a valve seat member for filtering liquid is proposed which can be manufactured without a drawing step, thereby improving productivity and cost performance of a piston pump in which such a filter is mounted. The filter is a flat metal plate including a main body formed with a plurality of filter holes in a central portion thereof, and a plurality of projections integrally and radially outwardly extending from a perimeter of the main body so as to be circumferentially spaced apart from each other. The filter is pushed into a filter mounting hole formed in a valve seat member of a discharge valve in a piston pump with the projections bent toward the opening of the filter mounting hole while being pressed against the inner surface of the filter mounting hole under an elastic restoring force and fixed to the valve seat member.

A piston pump includes a pump housing having a suction port and a discharge port. A piston is mounted in a bore of the pump housing and forms a pump chamber. Suction and discharge valves are provided on the opposite sides of the pump chamber, respectively. The suction valve includes a retainer which is mounted on the piston and has a valve bore which communicates with the suction port, a valve seat which is formed at the pump chamber end of the valve bore, and a valve body holding portion and a spring holding portion. The suction valve also includes a valve body which can seat and unseat from the valve seat and which is received and held by the valve body holding portion, and a spring which is received and held by the spring holding portion and biases the valve body towards the valve seat.

Piston pump

A piston pump includes a piston for increasing and decreasing the volume of a pump chamber formed in a cylinder bore of a cylinder member, by axially reciprocating movement thereof; a suction valve provided in the piston, and opening and closing when the volume of the pump chamber increases and decreases, respectively; and a discharge valve provided at a discharge side of the pump chamber, and opening and closing when the volume of the pump chamber decreases and increases, respectively. A plurality of mutually communicating, axially extending grooves are formed on an outer circumferential portion of the piston located on the pump-chamber side. A cylindrical seat member is fixedly and externally fitted to the piston in a region of the communicating grooves. A valve port and a valve seat of the suction valve are formed at an end portion of the seat member located on the pump-chamber side.

A piston pump includes a pump housing having a suction port, a discharge port, and an internal cavity; a first cylinder member having a cylinder bore; a piston built into the cylinder bore of the first cylinder member to thereby form a pump chamber and adapted to change the volume of the pump chamber by means of axially reciprocating movement; a suction valve provided in the piston; and a discharge valve provided at the discharge side of the pump chamber. A circumferential protrusion is formed externally at an axially intermediate portion of the first cylinder member. The first cylinder member is press-fitted, at the circumferential protrusion, into the internal cavity of the pump housing. A leading end portion of the first cylinder member from which the first cylinder member is inserted into the pump housing has a diameter smaller than that of the internal cavity of the pump housing.

A piston pump including a pump housing, a piston provided at the inner bore of the pump housing and assembled with an annular sealing member to form a pump chamber. The piston is configured to slide at an inner wall of the inner bore. The annular sealing member is assembled with the piston so as to slide at the inner wall of the inner bore in the axial direction together with the piston. And a first sliding range of the piston relative to the inner wall of the inner bore and a second sliding range of the annular sealing member relative to the inner wall of the inner bore do not overlap each other in the axial direction.
