| 20110150675 | Viscous Fluid Pump And Related Methods - A viscous fluid pump is provided. The pump has a housing that has an inlet for receiving viscous fluid and an outlet for dispensing viscous fluid. A bushing within the housing has an opening proximate the inlet and which provides access into an inner chamber of the bushing. The opening extends beyond the inlet in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal dimension of the pump. A piston is movable within the inner chamber, with the piston having a first position in which the inlet is in fluid communication with the inner chamber through the opening and a second position in which the inlet is not in fluid communication with the inner chamber. The housing may define an interior, with the interior of the housing being free of soft seals. | 06-23-2011 |
