Abstract

A positive shut-off electromagnetic fluid pump of the type having a piston electromagnetically reciprocated in a cylindrical guide by a solenoid coil and a pair of valves for providing a unidirectional fluid flow from an inlet port to an outlet port in response to the reciprocation of the piston. An elastomer bumper attached to the piston occludes the outlet port when the piston is biased to its extreme position adjacent to the outlet port when the solenoid coil is de-energized.
