Fluid is sucked in the lowermost one of the upper working chambers and the uppermost one of the lower working chambers, respectively, and is compressed while being conveyed. The diameter .phi. D3 of a lower shaft portion of the piston and the diameter .phi. D4 of an upper shaft portion of the piston have a relationship .phi. D3 <.phi. D4 in order to apply an upward thrust force to the piston.
