Abstract: A pump for dispensing liquid via a syringe has a chamber in which a hollow cylinder is mounted. The cylinder is connected to the chamber via a first normally closed check valve. A hollow plunger reciprocates in the cylinder is connected thereto via a second normally closed check valve. A charge of liquid is placed in the hollow plunger. On the out-stroke of the piston, the liquid in the piston is sucked through the second normally closed check valve into the cylinder and on the in-stroke of the plunger the liquid is forced through the first normally closed check valve into the chamber wherein it is maintained under pressure created by the pumping action of the plunger. An outlet tube leads from the lower part of the chamber to a syringe and an normally closed pinch valve in the syringe is manually operable to permit liquid under pressure to be squirted from the syringe.
