Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device including a dispenser head, a piston and an outlet valve. The dispenser head has a body defining a fluid expulsion channel terminated by a dispenser orifice, a rigid insert disposed in the channel, and a shutter element disposed in the channel and displaceable between a closed position and an open position. The shutter element is urged at rest towards its closed position and automatically displaced towards its open position while fluid is dispensed, returning automatically to its closed position. The shutter element forms a single piece with the rigid insert. The rigid insert forms or is secured to the outlet valve and is mechanically displaceable towards its actuated position while the fluid is being expelled, and being automatically returned to its rest position once the fluid has been expelled.
Abstract:
A double-acting pump for ejecting a product from a container, with a housing in which a piston with an axial bore is axially slideable and sealed by a first housing portion, with a hollow piston rod which extends the axial bore of the piston and is slideable in an opening of a closing cap of the housing and container. When an actuating head is actuated, it presses the piston against the force of a restoring spring toward a connecting pipe portion for an immersion pipe provided in the housing, so that a pressure is built up in a pressure chamber of the housing which presses a first valve closing piece in the connecting pipe piece against a first valve seat. In the non-actuated state, the piston releases as a result of the restoring force of a spring a passage between a pressure chamber and at least one opening in a second housing portion, wherein the connecting pipe piece has a second valve seat and a second valve closing piece which, in a position of the double-acting pump in which an actuating head is lower than the connecting pipe piece, the second valve closing piece assumes its closing position at the second valve seat, and the second valve closing piece assumes its open position in an inverted position in which the actuating head is higher than the connecting pipe piece.
Abstract:
A manually-actuated fluid dispenser pump including a pump body (10) containing a pump chamber (20), said pump chamber (20) being defined between an inlet valve (30) and an outlet valve (40), a piston (50) being mounted to slide in said pump body (10) between a rest position and a dispensing position for dispensing the fluid contained in the pump chamber, said piston (50) being connected to, and in particular integral with, an actuating rod (60) provided with an expulsion channel (65), said inlet valve (30) including an inlet valve element (31) mounted to move in the pump body (10) and co-operating with said pump body (10) or with an element secured to or integral with said pump body to define the open and the closed positions for said inlet valve (30), said outlet valve (40) including an outlet valve element (41) mounted to move in the pump body (10) and co-operating with said actuating rod (60) or with an element secured to or integral with said actuating rod to define the open and the closed positions for said outlet valve (40), said fluid dispenser pump being characterized in that, during actuation, said outlet valve (40) is urged into its closed position by the pressure from the fluid contained in the pump body (20), said outlet valve element (41) being moved into the open position of the outlet valve (40) by said inlet valve element (31) when the piston (50) reaches its dispensing position.
Abstract:
A fluid-dispensing member comprising:a body defining a chamber;an actuating rod provided with a pusher;a piston mounted on the actuating rod to slide in leaktight manner in the chamber;an inlet valve; andan outlet valve;wherein the outlet valve comprises a differential piston that can be moved under the action of the pressure exerted on the fluid by the piston against the action of a spring which abuts at one end against the differential piston, and at its other end against the pusher.
Abstract:
A lower end of a first hollow cylinder is connected to an upper end of a second hollow cylinder. A first outer hollow stem has an intermediately disposed first external enlargement disposed within the first cylinder. A hollow vertical main piston is vertically slidable within the first cylinder. A second inner stem extends upwardly through the main piston and through a bore in the first stem. A space between an upper section of the second stem and the first stem defines a vertical fluid discharge path. An upper end of an integral lower vertical section of the second stem engages the lower end of the main piston so that a horizontal channel extends between the lower section and the lower end of the main piston and connects the region between the lower section and the inner wall of the first cylinder to the fluid discharge path. A fluid discharge port is formed between the upper ends of the first section and the inner stem. A vertical inner piston has an upper end engagable with the lower end of the lower section and is vertically slidable in the second cylinder. A second outwardly extending enlargement of the second cylinder engages the inner wall of the second cylinder. An arrangement normally biases the discharge port closed and opens the discharge port during a selected point on the downstroke.
Abstract:
An atomizing pump for dispensing liquids from a container which has a low profile and is non-throttling. The pump comprises a body, a spring biased piston, a lower valve openable and closable by both pressure in the pump body and by frictional interengagement with the pump piston with an extending upper end of the lower valve, and an upper valve that frictionally and sealingly fits in a lower chamber in the piston, but which can be moved against a spring force and the friction force when pressure in the pump reaches a critical limit, so that the upper valve moves into a larger upper chamber so that liquid can escape from the pump body. The upper valve preferably has an extending stem that contacts the extending upper end of the lower valve during the terminal portion of a downward stroke of the piston and an initial portion of an upward stroke of the piston so that the upper valve can be held open. The stem has two opposing tabs on its lower that are deformable to spread apart and retain the upper valve in the piston.
Abstract:
A dispensing pump having a unitary plunger defining a main pump chamber and functioning as a discharge valve upon accumulation of pressure causing the plunger to shift open, includes a container vent which is positively sealed against leakage therethrough even upon nudging the plunger during storage, shipment and handling of the pump.The pump includes a fixed position and a reciprocable plunger head having a discharge passage, the inside of the head and the top of the piston being complementarily contoured for expelling accumulated air from the pump chamber directly out of the discharge during priming. Otherwise, the pump chamber may be placed in communication with a vent chamber which opens into the container through the vent so that any accumulated air in the pump chamber may be vented into the container as an aid in priming.The volume beneath the plunger head may be enclosed as an air chamber so that the air therein may be vented into the container upon opening the container vent to assist in pump priming. And, the plunger is designed to effect a quick or a slow opening of the discharge passage.
