20120034105 | Linear peristaltic pump - An improved technique for delivering a fluid to an outlet from a storage container takes the form of a linear peristaltic pump which enables the use of two elements: a single bearing and a valve. The single bearing provides enough pressure to a flexible tube in which the fluid moves to close the tube off at a single location. The valve controls the fluid flow out of the flexible tube at the egress point in conjunction with the bearing and is attached to the flexible tube at a single location. In this manner, when the bearing is engaged with the flexible tube, the bearing divides the flexible tube into two subvolumes, one of which contains fluid to be moved toward the egress point at the far end of the flexible tube and the other creating suction for intake of fluid immediately behind the bearing. A bearing controller moves the bearing along the surface of the flexible tube when so engaged; in doing so, the bearing moves the fluid. | 02-09-2012 |
