  • Publication number: 20230201852
    Abstract: A pump for dispensing a fluid, has a pump head , a piston body with a piston, a pump chamber limited by a pump chamber body, an inlet valve and an outlet valve, the piston being moveable by respective movement of the pump head between an upper starting position and a lower end position. A return stroke force for a return stroke from the lower end position into the upper starting position is provided by a bellows, formed by two bellows arranged one above the other, Each of the bellows is folded up, when moving the pump head into the lower end position, by exerting a compression force on the pump head, the first bellows receiving the compression force by direct engagement with the pump head, the second bellows receiving the compression force only by engagement with the first bellows.

  • Patent number: 9365319
    Abstract: A container for containing a liquid or pasty material which is combined with a system for collecting and dispensing without taking in air. The container is rigid and includes a flexible bag which contains the material to be dispensed and which is combined with the collecting system. The bag is produced separately from the rigid container and has an overall cylindrical reservoir which is open at the top portion thereof and which is divided into four areas defined by a rigid upper sidewall, a flexible deformable lower sidewall, and a fillet connecting the flexible side wall to a base.

  • Publication number: 20160144388
    Abstract: A device for withdrawing and dispensing a viscous product without taking in air is described. The device on the one hand includes a pumping member positioned, by its base, at the open end of a rigid container associated with a retractable flexible inner pouch, intended to receive the product, and on the other hand a plunger tube connected by its upper end to a corresponding part of the pumping member, such that the upper end is partially submerged in the product and the free lower end is completely submerged in the product, such that the plunger tube is made up of a first upper part, with a closed circumference, defining a reference section of the tube and a second lower part submerging the first, with a circumference open by at least one longitudinal slot, made along a generatrix and defining a C- or U-shaped section on that part of the tube.
