Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
A variable displacement pump comprising: a housing having a plurality of cylindrical chambers arranged about an axis and connected to suction and discharge conduits; a cam means rotatable relative to said chambers about said axis; a primary piston having a counterbore reciprocally mounted in each of said chambers; a pumping piston reciprocally mounted in each of said chambers and having a rod extending toward said primary pistons; a head attached to said rod and reciprocally mounted within said counterbore; spring means interposed between said primary piston and said pumping piston for urging said pistons apart; means for introducing fluid to each of said chambers between said pistons; means for selectively controlling the pressure of said fluid; and each of said cylindrical chambers having an enlarged diameter portion and a reduced diameter portion; said primary piston sealingly engaging said enlarged diameter portion and said pumping piston sealingly engaging said reduced diameter pOrtion; whereby fluid pressure within said chamber between said pistons acts to hold said primary piston against said cam means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein retaining means carried by said primary piston retains said head within said counterbore.
