## Abstract

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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A dual drive pump comprising a pump providing first and second members which are reciprocable relative to each other to pump fluid, a lever pivoted on said first member, a power drive including a shaft pivoted on said lever for rotation relative thereto and a reciprocation drive connected to said shaft and said second member, and lock means selectively operable in a first condition to lock said lever against movement relative to said first member while permitting rotation of said shaft relative to said lever and a second condition to permit pivotal movement of said lever relative to said first member while preventing relative rotation of said shaft relative to said lever, rotation of said shaft while said lock means is in said first condition operating to reciprocate said first member relative to said second member through said reciprocation drive, pivotal movement of said lever while said lock means is in said second condition operating to oscillate said shaft and cause reciprocation of said first member relative to said second member through said reciprocation drive.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A dual drive pump as set forth in claim 1, wherein said pump is a double-acting pump and delivers fluid under pressure when said members reciprocate in each direction.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A dual drive pump as set forth in claim 2, wherein said power drive includes a rotatable cam on said shaft connected to drive said members with substantially harmonic motion.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A dual drive pump as set forth in claim 1, wherein said lock means is a pin selectively mountable in two separate positions.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A dual drive pump as set forth in claim 1, wherein said lock means is operable to lock said lever in substantially a mid-position within its range of pivotal movement.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

A dual drive pump as set forth in claim 5, wherein said lock means is operable to lock said power drive in substantially a mid-position.

### Claim 7

A pump comprising a cylinder housing, a piston projecting into said housing reciprocable relative thereto to pump fluid, a lever pivoted in said housing, a Scotch yoke drive providing a camshaft journaled on said lever and providing a frame connected to said piston, lock means provided to lock said shaft relative to said lever when said lever is pivoted and to lock said lever relative to said housing when said shaft is rotated, said Scotch yoke drive being operable to reciprocate said piston in response to rotation of said shaft, pivotal movement of said lever operating to move said shaft and cause reciprocation of said piston.
