ABSTRACT:
A pump and a method for pumping liquid or fluid through a pair of resilient tubes includes a pushing mechanism which partially compresses the tubes in a balanced, alternating, rocking manner. The resilient tubes are held in a parallel relationship. The pushing mechanism alternately compresses the tubes. As one of the two parallel tubes is compressed, fluid is pumped out of the tube and at the same time fluid is drawn into the second tube as the latter tube resumes its original shape. The resilience of both tubes also is used to assist the pumping action in a balanced fashion, thereby providing a pump that has low power consumption and is lightweight.
