Abstract
In the rotary pump, a sealing member is provided at a clearance between a casing and axial end surfaces of the inner and outer rotors, the sealing member extending from an outer circumference of the outer rotor, via the inner rotor between a drive shaft and a discharge port, to another circumference of the outer rotor so that brake fluid communication from the discharge port to an intake port may be prevented, but the brake fluid communication between the outer circumference of the outer rotor and almost all of teeth gap portions on a discharge port side and, further, between almost all of teeth gap portions on an intake port side and a clearance between the drive shaft and the inner rotor may be allowed.
