BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The drawing is a longitudinal section of a hydraulic pump embodying the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As shown. a hydraulic pump in accordance with the invention comprises a pair of generally tubular castings II and 12 each formed with tubular extensions 13 and I4 which interfit to define an axial passage which reccives a plunger [5. A cylindrical rubber sleeve I6 extends between the castings l1 and I2 and defines together with the extensions 13 and I4 a first tluid' containing chamber 17. The plunger 15 is formed with an axial passage 18 which communicates with the chamber I7 via ports 19 and 20 and a filter element 2]. The passage 18 is eounterbored and accommodates a ball valve 22 which is spring-urged to seat against the mouth of passage IS.
The axial passage 18 leads into a second chamber 23 defined by casting I2 and an end cap 24 secured thereto. Fluid flow from the plunger 15 into the chamber 23 is controlled by a one-way valve 25. The casting 12 is formed with a pair of lateral. axial passages 26 and 27 which extend between the chambers 17 and 23. Passage 26 is controlled by a pressure-relief valve 28 which is adjustable by means of a slotted head portion projecting through the casting II. The passage 27 is controlled by a ball valve 29 which normally closes the passage 27 but may be permitted to move by operation of a control rod 30 which is operable externally of the pump.
Reciprocation of the plunger 15 is effected by means of a pair of toggle levers SM and 3Ib through the agency of a sleeve 32 which encloses the rubber sleeve I6 and is slidable axially in response to pivoting of the levers 31c! and 31h.
In the drawing. lever 31a is shown in the position it occupies when the plunger I5 is retracted and lever 31b in the position it occupies when the plunger is advanced fully towards the second chamber. As shown. each lever 31a and 3lh comprises a main lever arm 33 pivotally connected to the end cap 24 and a toggle link 34 pivotally connected between the lever arm 33 and the sleeve 32. A bracket 35 limits outward pivoting of each lever arm 33.
It will be noted that movement of the sleeve 32 and hence the plunger 15 is non-linearly related to angular movement of levers 31a and 31h. Thus. initial advance of the plunger I5 towards the chamber 23 takes place rapidly but progressively slows down and final movement thereof is small in relation to the corresponding movement of the levers 31a and 3). This arrangement permits initial movement of the plunger I5 accompanied by the production of low pressure in chamber 23 and slow final movement accompanied by the production of an increasingly larger pressure in the chamber 23. The non-linear relationship between the levers 31a and 3th and the plunger I5 may be varied by suitable positioning of the pivotal connection between the link 34 and the sleeve 32.
In the illustrated embodiment, the pressure created in chamber 23 is used to displace a ram 36 which projects through the cap 24. The cap 24 is provided with a bayonet connection so that a pair of relatively movable crimping or cutting tools may be mounted thereon with one of the tools being actuated by the ram 36.
In operation, the pump is actuated by pivoting the levers 31a and 31!) thereby reciprocating the plunger 15.
As the latter moves to the right, the valve 22 opens due to the inertia of the ball thereby admitting fluid from chamber 17 and passage 18. The fluid so admitted is pumped into the chamber 23 during the return stroke ofthe plunger 15. It will be noted that all possible leakage paths from the chamber 23 around the various movable components of the pump lead into the chamber l7 thereby greatly simplifying sealing. Also all fluid passageways of the pump extend axially thereof.

A hydraulic pump comprising: an elongate body defining first and second axially successive chambers. an axial fluid-passageway extending between said first and second chambers; a plunger, having one end projeeting from the elongate body, which is rcciprocable axially within said first chamber and extends into said fluid-passageway: and valve means controlling admission of fluid from said first chamber into said fluid passageway. operation of the valve means being coordinated with movement of the plunger in such a way that admission of fluid into said passageway from said first chamber occurs in response to axial movement of the plunger away from the second chamber and is prevented in response to axial movement of the plunger towards said second chamber. whereby in the latter movement thc plunger forces fluid from said passageway into the second chamber; wherein the improvement comprises a coupling member mounted on the elongate body of the pump and guided thereby for reciprocation axially of the pump body and parallel to the plunger.

A hydraulic pump according to claim 8 wherein the first chamber is completely filled with fluid and is defined by a pair of axially-spaced apart, rigid end walls connected together by a hollow central stem through which said plunger passes, and a sleeve of flexible, non-permeable material extending between said end walls so as to sealingly enclose the space therebetween and encircle said central stem, and wherein said elongate coupling sleeve encloses said flexible sleeve and is constrained to slide axially upon said rigid end walls defining the first chamber.
11. A hydraulic pump comprising: an elongate body defining first and second axially successive chamber; an axial fluid-passageway extending between said first and second chambers; a plunger which is reciprocable axially within said first chamber and extends into said fluid-passageway; valve means controlling admission of fluid from said first chamber into said fluid-passageway, operation of the valve means being coordinated with movement of the plunger in such a way that admission of fluid into said passageway from said first chamber occurs in response to axial movement of the plunger away from the second chamber and is prevented in response to axial movement of the plunger towards said second chamber, whereby in the latter movement the plunger forces fluid from said passageway into the second chamber; and lever means acting between the pump body and the plunger and operable to effect reciprocation of the plunger; wherein the improvement comprises a pair of axially spaced apart, rigid end walls connected together by a hollow central stem through which said plunger passes, and a sleeve of flexible, non-permeable material which extends between said end walls so as to sealingly enclose the space therebetween and encircle said central stem, said first chamber being defined by said flexible sleeve and end walls and being completely filled with fluid.
