Abstract: A head assembly for a fluid lubricant dispenser including a piston cavity having inlet and outlet ports disposed near the bottom of the cavity. The inlet and outlet ports are controlled by check valves that function oppositely and simultaneously to allow the flow of lubricant in one direction. The location of the inlet port and the use of a check valve in conjunction with the inlet port allows for effective operation of the lubricant dispenser with any appreciable movement of the piston via the operative lever mechanism.
