A manually operable pump for the effective removal of fluids to include blood, blood clots, fluid, and air from a body cavity of a subject is provided. The manually operable pump is adapted to be connect to a range of fluid conduits and is equipped with one-way valves that effectively permit flow of fluid through the pump in only one direction. The sensitivity of the one-way valves is such that when properly positioned, fluid can flow through the valves and out of the pump without manual compression of the pump and with the aid of gravity power alone.

A double disc surface grinding machine (10) includes work holding section (65) for holding an inner circumferential surface of an annular work (W) at a plurality of locations. The work holding section (65) includes a plurality of holding members (66) extending radially as viewed from a rotation shaft (46). Each holding member (66) is movable outward and inward radially of the rotation shaft (46), and is contactable to the inner circumferential surface of the work (W). The position adjustment section (76) connects the rotation shaft (46) and the work holding section (65) with each other, and adjusts a position of the work holding section (65) in the radial direction of the rotation shaft (46). While the inner circumferential surface of the work (W) is held by the work holding section (65), the rotation shaft (46), the position adjustment section (76), the work holding section (65) and the work (W) are rotated integrally with each other around the rotation shaft (46). Part of the rotating work (W) is sandwiched by a pair of grinding wheels (16a), (16b) to grind two main surfaces of the work (W).
