Abstract
Abstract The pump contains cylinders (1) which are arranged in the form of a star and which are attached to a molding (12) with valve cartridges (8 and 9) being interposed. This molding (12) consists of two sets of pipes (17 and 18) which are arranged in the form of a star. The suction channels (13) of the pump are formed in one of the sets of pipes (17). The delivery channels (14) are formed in the other of the pipe sets (18). The central ends of the suction channels (13) open into a cavity (15) which is located in the center of the molding (12) and which is provided with a screw sleeve (16) for attaching a suction line. The central ends of the delivery channels (14) are connected to one another in flow terms, and one of the delivery channels (14) is provided with an outflow orifice (23) for the fluid. The use of the molding mentioned makes it substantially simpler to connect the individual parts of the pump to one another and to the lines attached to the pump.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
294 words
A radial piston pump with at least two cylinders (1), comprising: a suction valve (8) and a delivery valve (9) mounted as a pair to each of the cylinders (1) such that all valves are similarly mounted on the same side of respective cylinders (1); a suction line and a delivery line; a set of suction channels (13), disposed within pipes (17), connecting the suction line to each of the suction valves (8); a set of delivery channels (14), disposed within pipes (18), connecting each of the delivery valves (9) to the delivery line, said pipes (17, 18) having outer end parts, including an external flange (19), and each of said cylinders having an external surface, including an external flange (7), wherein said sets of channels are arranged concentrically on the side of said cylinders to which said valves are mounted, and wherein each valve (8, 9) is clamped between and has end surfaces which abut against said external flanges (7, 19), such that a pair of channels comprising a suction channel and a delivery channel is connected to each cylinder, said channels being connected firmly to one another in a central region, and wherein the suction channels (13) and the delivery channels (14) extend in a connecting piece (12) in the form of a star in a manner corresponding to the arrangement of the cylinders (1), one end of each of the suction channels (13) opens into a cavity (15) in the connecting piece (12) to which said suction line is connected, the delivery channels (14) are in fluid connection with one another in a central region of the connecting piece (12), and one of the delivery channels (14) has a through-orifice (23) for connecting the delivery channels (14) to the delivery line.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A radial piston pump as in claim 1 wherein said sets of channels are disposed in said connecting piece off-set to one another such that each suction channel (13) is at an angle to its respective delivery channel (14).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
A radial piston pump as in claim 1 wherein respective suction channels (13) and delivery channels (14) in connection with each piston (1) form an angle, said channels having outer end parts in fluid connection with respective cylinders (1), and wherein said valves assigned in pairs to respective cylinders (1) are clamped between the outer end parts of said channels and a respective cylinder.
