Reaping What You Sow: An Empirical Analysis of International Patent Harmonization
The invention relates to a method for making an oil pump for refrigeration machines. The pump comprises a tube formed by drawing which is press fitted into the bore of a motor rotor. The tube is initially formed with an inwardly domed, closed end portion. Circumferentially and radially extending incisions are made in the domed end portion to form cantilever portions which in turn are bent inwardly relative to the end of the tube to form blades.
