  • Patent number: 4074831
    Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing accurate volumes of liquid drawn from a reservoir to which the apparatus is attachable comprises a plunger for drawing the liquid past a non-return inlet valve into a barrel on a forward stroke of the plunger in the barrel and for expelling the liquid past a non-return delivery valve on the return stroke. The forward stroke of the plunger and hence the volume of liquid drawn in is limited by a coarse setting provided by an abutment adjustable in discrete increments along the plunger co-operating with one side of a fixed abutment on the barrel. The return stroke of the plunger, and hence the volume of liquid expelled, is limited by a vernier setting provided by a further abutment rotatable in discrete increments about the barrel and co-operating with an opposite side of the fixed abutment.
