The shaft 13 beyond a shoulder 14 is formed with an eccentric shaft 15 screw-threaded attached to a sleeve 16 which is axially adjustable by a knob 19 to axially move a roller 18, which engages the fingers 6, in accordance with the wall thickness of the tube 4 and to enhance the life of the tube. The knob 19 and cap 2 are enclosed in a protective transparent plastics membrane 32 to allow adjustment of the knob whilst still retaining a seal. The screw-threaded cap permits easy renewal of the tube 4 and sterilizing of the pump parts. |
