A fluid pump having manually operable and power operable sections 10a, 10b mounted within a unitary pump body 12 that defines at least one suction and one discharge port 14, 16. The manually operated section comprises a body section 12a defining a bore 20a that slidably supports a piston 24 for reciprocating motion that includes a piston rod 24a that extends outside of the body section and is operatively connected to an actuatable arm 60 pivotally atttached to the pump body. Flow passages 34, 42 including a check valve 32 communicate the suction port 14 with one portion 20a of the piston bore; another flow passage 49 communicates a discharge side 20b of the piston bore with the discharge port. The power operable pump section comprises another pump body section 12b that defines a pair of axially aligned bores 82 that slidably support pistons 80 and an eccentric 84 including a drive shaft 130 rotatably mounted within the pump body disposed intermediate and operatively engageable with the pistons. Rotation of the eccentric produces reciprocating motion in the pistons and effects fluid transfer from an inlet chamber 88 to the discharge port 16 by way of fluid passages 156, 158 formed within the pump body each including a check valve 87. The drive shaft includes structure 170 engageable by an external source of powered rotation.

Fluid pump

A dual drive pump is disclosed in which the differential area, double-acting piston and cylinder pump can be operated from a rotary power source or manually operated by pivotal movement of a lever. The manual operation lever is pivoted to the cylinder housing. A Scotch yoke cam drive is provided with a rotary shaft journaled on the manual lever. A Scotch yoke housing is connected to the piston and encloses a cam on the rotary shaft. A lock pin is installable in two different locations. When manual operation is required, the lock pins locks the shaft against rotation with respect to the lever. For power operation, the lock pins locks the lever in a fixed position so that the shaft is in turn held in a fixed location.
