Patent ID: 8915232

Claim:
A fuel supply pump comprising: a high pressure pump that draws fuel into a pressurizing chamber of the high pressure pump and discharges the drawn fuel from the pressurizing chamber when a plunger of the high pressure pump is reciprocated in an axial direction of the plunger; a tappet that converts rotation of a cam into linear reciprocation of the plunger to reciprocate the plunger in the axial direction, wherein the tappet includes: a roller that is configured into a cylindrical form, wherein the roller is rotated and is reciprocated in the axial direction of the plunger in response to rotation of the cam; and a shoe that rotatably holds an outer peripheral surface of the roller and is reciprocatable in the axial direction of the plunger; and a tappet support member that includes: at least two slide surfaces, which are substantially parallel to each other in the axial direction of the plunger and are opposed to each other, and the shoe is reciprocatably supported in the axial direction of the plunger by the at least two slide surfaces; and at least two press-fitting projections, each of which projects from a corresponding side of the tappet support member that is opposite from a corresponding one of the at least two slide surfaces, and each of the at least two press-fitting projections is press-fitted into a pump housing, which is stationary relative to the tappet.
