A liquid pumping apparatus comprising a rotor housing, a rotor having at
least one roller, to be rotated by a prime mover, an inner periphery wall
of the rotor housing, a flexible tube to be inserted into a gap formed
between the rotor and the inner periphery wall and squeezed when the
rotor is rotated so as to transfer a liquid fed into the tube, and a
deformable guide for guiding the flexible tube in a moving path of the
roller. At least one portion of the inner periphery wall is movable so as
to approach or separate from the rotor.
