Patent number: 7866513Abstract: A device for dispensing and receiving a liquid or semi-liquid product via a metering chamber of a pump body. The device includes a piston which is fixably mounted in the pump body and is provided with an end sealingly engaged into the chamber. The piston end is provided with an elastically deformable membrane put thereon. The membrane includes a transversal wall forming an input check valve which is provided with a central supply orifice sealingly closable by a protruded element forming the check valve seat on the end of the piston. The membrane includes a fixing cylindrical skirt which is provided with at least one sealing peripheral lip slidingly contacting the internal wall of the chamber. The skirt forms a valve when it is deformed by contact with a projection bearing by the internal wall of the chamber in such a way that the air compressed by the piston is released into the chamber by the pump priming.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2007Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Rexam Dispensing Systems S.A.S.Inventors: David Leuliet, Francois Nicolle

Patent number: 7780044Abstract: The invention is a pump for dispensing liquid or semi-liquid product, designed and intended to be used in particular in the pharmaceutical or cosmetic field. The pump has a needle valve and a dispensing head manually movable on a pump housing between an inactive position and a dispensing position. The head includes a first cylinder forming a metering chamber for the pump, which draws in fluid from a container's reservoir by an intake tube and a check valve. A piston sealingly secured to the metering chamber pushes fluid through a passage into a second dosage chamber that is sealed from the dispensing orifice by a biased needle valve that is biased by a spring that is sealingly isolated from the second dosage chamber, the chamber that holds the elastic spring has a conduit that allows a user to test and verify that the second dosage chamber does not leak.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Rexam Dispensing Systems S.A.S.Inventors: David Leuliet, Francois Nicolle
