Patent ID: 8202069

Claim:
A fuel pump comprising: a discharge-side cover defining an outlet; a case member connected with the discharge-side cover, and defining a fuel passage communicating with the outlet, the case member defining an inlet; a pump portion provided in the fuel passage for pumping fuel from the inlet to the outlet; a motor portion provided in the case member for driving the pump portion; a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal each extending from an inside of the discharge-side cover for conducting electricity to the motor portion; a bearing holder being insulative and supporting a rotation axis of the motor portion; and a terminal support member being insulative and provided between the discharge-side cover and the bearing holder for supporting the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal, wherein the terminal support member has a projection projecting from a portion between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal, said projection being spaced from each of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal, the discharge-side cover has a recess receiving the projection, and said projection extends in a direction perpendicular to an extension direction in which the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal extend, and perpendicular to a line extending between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal, to extend across a space between the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal.
