First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wobble plate piston pump comprising:
- a wobble plate;
a plurality of unitary ceramic pistons, each having an end extending from a pump chamber and contacting the wobble plate via a metallic contact element in the form of a cap that fits over said end;
wherein said piston includes a circumferential groove for use in mounting the cap to said end with a holding element that engages said groove; and
a clamping ring for maintaining the engagement of said holding element with said groove.
