Abstract
A circumferential flow type fuel pump has an impeller rotated by engagement between a hole in the impeller and a rotating shaft having a diameter smaller than that of the hole. The center ofthe hole is eccentric with respect to the center of the impeller in accordance with the difference between the diameter of the hole and the diameter in section of the rotating shaft, so that the center of the impeller coincides with the center of the rotating shaft during rotation of the impeller.
Claims6
A circumferential flow type fuel pump in which an impeller is rotated by engaging a hole disposed on said impeller with a rotating shaft having a diameter smaller than that of said hole characterized in that:
- a center of said hole is eccentric with respect to a center of said impeller in accordance with a difference between a diameter of said hole and a diameter in section of said rotating shaft, so that the center of said impeller in rotation overlaps the center of said rotating shaft.
A circumferential flow type fuel pump comprising:
- a drive shaft having a center of rotation and a circular portion having a first diameter;
- an impeller having a center and a hole formed therein, the hole surrounding the drive shaft and having a circular portion having a center and a second diameter larger than the first diameter, the center of the circular portion of the hole being eccentric with respect to the center of the impeller.
