Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to the means provided in a peristaltic pump to regulate the radial distance between a crushing roller and the axle of rotation of the rotor. The rotor comprises at least one reference face parallel to its axle of rotation, the regulating element being a support of the axle of rotation of the roller provided with a surface which is held in contact with the face of the rotor, whereas a plurality of orifices are provided in the rotor and one orifice is provided in the support and is designed to be placed over one of the orifices of said plurality by moving the support along the said face and surface and to receive a connecting member traversing them. The invention finds an application in peristaltic pumps.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
225 words
A peristaltic pump comprising a stator, an elastically deformable tube placed along a supporting surface of the stator and a rotor provided with a plurality of evenly distributed members designed to crush the tube against said supporting surface, each of said crushing members being coupled to the rotor by way of an element for adjusting the radial distance between said crushing member and the axis of rotation of the rotor, whereas said element for adjusting each crushing member is a support for a pivoting axle of said member, which support is provided with a reference surface held in contact with a reference surface of the rotor, parallel to the rotation axis of the rotor and substantially perpendicular to the radius joining the pivoting axle of the crushing member to said rotation axis, and whereas at least a first plurality of orifices is provided in the rotor and at least a second plurality of orifices, differently positioned, is provided in said support, selected ones of the orifices of the first plurality being optionally disposed over a selected one of the orifices of the second plurality of orifices by moving the support with respect to the rotor along said reference surfaces, the two coinciding orifices receiving a connecting member which traverses them in order to secure the support on the rotor in the selected position of adjustment.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A peristaltic pump as claimed in claim 1, wherein two diametrically opposite crushing members are provided, and the rotor comprises two parallel reference surfaces, each surface cooperating with a corresponding support.
