Abstract
A peristaltic pump is disclosed which includes a base plate having a pair of reaction members pivotally mounted thereon for movement between open positions spaced outwardly from a rotor about which a compressible flow tube is disposed and closed positions maintaining the flow tube in predetermined relation to the rotor. Each reaction member has a shield plate thereon adapted for cooperation with the shield plate on the other reaction member so as to substantially cover the rotor area when the reaction members are in their closed positions. A locking nut mounted on the base plate is adapted for camming cooperation with the reaction members to draw them into predetermined closed relation relative to the tube and rotor.
