Inventor: KASAI TAKASHI
IPC: F04B43/12
Filed: 2009-04-30
Abstract: A means for detecting erroneous mounting of a liquid supply tube of a liquid conveying pump.  The means can be realized at low cost with safety of the means maintained. When a door unit (20) is attempted to be closed against a pump body (10) with a liquid supply tube (40) erroneously mounted, an inner door (25) for detecting erroneous mounting is pressed by the liquid supply tube (40) to act on a handle lock part (23A) of a handle (23). By this, a claw (23Ac) of the handle lock part (23A) is set to a lifted state, which causes the claw (23Ac) to be unable to be fitted in a rectangular through-hole (11c) in a base plate (11).  This in turn makes the door unit (20) unable to be locked to the pump body (10), allowing a user to discern that the liquid supply tube is erroneously mounted.
