Publication number: 20190076864Abstract: A fluid pump includes a pump body having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, and a spring valve combination provided within the pump body. The spring valve combination includes a spring body having a first end portion, a second end portion and a spring section therebetween, which spring section is compressible in an axial direction from an initial condition to a compressed condition and is subsequently expandable to its initial condition; a first valve element provided at the first end portion of the spring body; and a second valve element provided at the second end portion of the spring body, wherein the spring body and the first and second valve elements are integrally formed. The first and second valve elements interact with an interior of the pump body to define a one-way inlet valve and a one-way outlet valve, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2015Publication date: March 14, 2019Applicants: SCA Hygiene Products AB, SCA Hygiene Products ABInventors: Hugo NILSSON, Peter BERGMAN, Håkan LINDSTRÖM
