Claims5
An electromagnetic pump comprising:
- a non magnetic sleeve containing a plunger;
- electromagnetic means for reciprocating said plunger in said sleeve;
- a resilient deformable cylindrical ring disposed on the outer surface of said sleeve, the inner diameter of said ring being substantially equal to the outer diameter of said sleeve, said ring including a projection on its inner surface for holding said sleeve;
- an inlet fixture having a cylindrical portion for axially receiving one end of said sleeve,
- inlet valve means coupled to said inlet fixture;
- an outlet fixture having a cylindrical portion for axially receiving the other end of said sleeve;
- and
- outlet valve means coupled to said outlet fixture, said inlet fixture and said outlet fixture including means for axially compressing said cylindrical ring on the outer surface of said sleeve through both ends of said cylindrical portions of said inlet and said outlet fixtures, thereby sealing the joint between said sleeve and said inlet and outlet fixtures.
