Abstract

Rotary apparatus for compressing and discharging fluid within a container. The apparatus includes an oscillating rotor or cam-like projection of substantially constant thickness in the plane of the longitudinal axis of the housing which cooperates with a sliding partition to define multiple compartments into which fluid is introduced during a portion of the rotation of the rotor or projection and is compressed during another portion of rotation of the rotor or projection.
