ABSTRACT:
A pressure plate for use with a pump includes a top surface configured for receipt of a tube and a plurality of side edges defining a channel communicating with the top surface. The pressure plate also includes a pair of hooks and a loop for releasably attaching the pressure plate to the pump. Attachment structure is provided for fixedly attaching the first end of the top surface to the pump. A method for attaching to a pump a reservoir having a tube includes providing a pressure plate with first and second ends and having an inlet tube slot and an outlet tube slot for holding the tube; attaching the first end of the pressure plate to the pump using a fastener, the fastener allowing the pressure plate to pivot toward and away from the pump; inserting the tube into the inlet tube slot and outlet tube slot; pivoting the second end of the pressure plate toward the pump; and attaching the second end of the pressure plate to the pump.
