1. In a pressure pump for conveying fluids through tubing which comprises a pressure member of generally circular periphery, means for moving said pressure member in orbital motion about said pressure member and spaced for receiving and retaining the flexible tubing in an annular space between the pressure member and the sleeve member with the flexible tubing surrounding said pressure member for pumping of fluids through said flexible tubing, the sleeve member being divided into a pair of jaws hinged together at one end to permit opening and closing of the jaws about the pressure member to facilitate installation of the flexible tubing, the improvement comprising, in combination:

  • said jaws including end surfaces which abut together when said jaws are in the closed position and means defining slots in said end surfaces for accommodating passage of said flexible tubing into and out of said annular space when said end surfaces of said jaws are in abutting relation, andmovable latch means defining a slot for retaining said end surfaces of said jaws in abutting relation, said latch means being positionable adjacent a region of said flexible tubing when said end surfaces of said jaws are retained in abutting relation so that said flexible tubing which passes through said slots in said jaw end surfaces is folded about an angle which is substantially 180 degrees with said tubing extending from said abutting jaw surfaces.
