Abstract
Abstract Deformable flexible tube constituting the body of a peristaltic pump having a stator and a rotor equipped with rollers progressively compressing the tube against the stator, said tube comprising two ribs extending along the length of the tube at points on the circumferential surface located on the same side of the line of contact of the inner walls when the tube is compressed, and symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to this line of contact.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
79 words
Deformable flexible tube constituting the body of a peristaltic pump which comprises a stator and a rotor equipped with rollers, which progressively compresses the tube against the stator, said tube comprising two outer ribs extending along the length of the tube at points on the circumferential surface located on the same side of the line of contact of the inner walls when the tube is compressed, and symmetrical with respect to a plane perpendicular to said line of contact.
