A pump housing supporting a driving shaft has a plurality of cylinder
bores extending radially and arranged at substantially regular intervals
around an outer periphery of the driving shaft. Each cylinder bore has a
plunger fitted therein, which reciprocates in response to a rotation of
the driving shaft. An inlet, an inlet valve, an outlet, and an outlet
valve are provided for each plunger. Fluid flowing from an inlet port
provided in the pump housing flows into each inlet, and moreover, fluid
flowing from each outlet passes through an outlet passage and flows into
an outlet port provided in the pump housing. The outlet passage has a
plurality of communication holes corresponding to the outlet valves.
Outlet ends of the communication holes converge on one spot in the pump
housing.
