Abstract A device in a peristaltic pump of the type including at least one pressure body (8) driven along a circular path, there being disposed concentrically around at least the major portion of this path a support structure (9, 10) accommodating an elastic hose (11) which is subjected to a local compression against the support structure by means of the pressure body as this body moves along its circular path, and an annular member (12) placed between the pressure body (8) and the hose (11), with its inner circumference abutting against the pressure body and its outer circumference abutting against the hose, towards which the annular member is locally pressed by the pressure body. The primary characteristic feature of the inventive device is a non-return valve (15) acting adjacent the end of the hose (11) connected to the pressure outlet (16) of the pump, at least part of the outer circumference of the annular member (12) together with the pressure body (8) constituting the operating means for this valve.

Device in a peristaltic pump with at least one pressure body (8) driven along a circular path, a support structure (9, 10) concentrically disposed around at least the major portion of said path and accommodating an elastic hose (11) which is exposed to a local compression against the support stucture by the action of the pressure body in response to the displacement of said body along its circular path, and an annular member (12) incorporated between the pressure body (8) and the hose (11) while abutting with its inner circumference against the pressure body and with its outer circumference against the hose, towards which the annular member is locally pressed by the pressure body, characterized by a non-return valve (15) acting adjacent the end of the hose (11) connected to the pressure outlet (16) of the pump, at least part of the outer circumference of the annular member (12) together with the pressure body (8) constituting the operating means for said non-return valve, the non-return valve (15) being a flap with its free end reciprocating in relation to the pressure outlet end of the pump hose (11), said flap being pivotally journalled at its opposite end and presenting on its side facing the interior of the pump housing (1) a cam-profiled surface (17) for coacting with the outer circumference of the annular member (12).
