Abstract (en)

A snap-together peristaltic pumping mechanism (18) comprises a pump housing and a support (70) for creating a holding cavity for a peristaltic drive mechanism. Specifically, the peristaltic drive mechanism comprises a plurality of fingers (60) which sequentially urge against a resilient tube (16) to create a moving zone of occlusion therealong. The plurality of fingers (60) are reciprocally moved by a plurality of rotating cam lobes (41) which are assembled onto and coaxially held along a stationary round shaft. The cam lobes (41) are interconnected to controllably cause their respective fingers (60) to engage with and disengage from the resilient tube (16).
