DEFINITION

Classification: 417/531

(under subclass 521) Apparatus in which the means for controlling pump fluid flow into or out of two or more chambers comprises either (1) a single rigid unitarily movable valve member which moves from one position to another to alternately control the inlet to or discharge from said two or more chambers or (2) relatively movable inlet or discharge valve members which are mechanically interrelated in a manner such that movement of an inlet or discharge valve member for one pump chamber necessitates movement of an inlet or discharge valve member, respectively, for another pump chamber.

516, for a single mechanically-actuated distributor element which controls pump fluid inlet to or discharge from plural pump chambers.
