In one form, the inlet valve includes a seal member that seals an inlet port of the pump and an outer support member that secures the inlet valve to the rest of the pump mechanism. Two or more legs generally extend in a circumferential direction between the support member and the seal member in order to create a large flow opening for fluid flow through the inlet valve when opened and to rapidly close the inlet valve. The pump mechanism further includes an outlet valve that is configured to draw fluid back from a nozzle of the pump after dispensing in order to minimize build up around the nozzle.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser for paste-like products which is characterized by a simplified metering device and a simple an low-cost construction in combination with reliable operation and high metering accuracy. The head piece of the dispenser includes a pump chamber at the top of a supply container communicating with the supply of the paste-like product within the container, the communication between the container and the pump chamber being established by a lateral opening in a guide member of the dispensing piston, the opening being surrounded by a bell-shaped sealing body defining a sealed communication space between the outlet opening of the container and the lateral inlet opening in the guide member of the dispenser piston. The dispenser piston is slidably mounted within the actuator cap of the dispenser which at the same time includes the dispensing channel.

  • Patent number: 4684043
    Abstract: The actuating lever of the dispenser has an integral valve flap which covers the discharge outlet of the dispenser when the lever is in its standby position, and in order to augment the sealing capabilities of such flap during shipment or storage prior to customer acquisition and use of the dispenser, a disposable sealing tape is provided which is factory-installed so as to overlie the outlet between the latter and the covering valve flap. The tape is provided with a layer of adhesive to promote retention of the tape in sealing relationship with the outlet, and a tab portion of the tape extends from the outlet and is adhered to adjacent portions of the dispenser in such a manner as to facilitate grasping and removal by the user.

  • Patent number: 4452285
    Abstract: In a dispensing device for filling boreholes with a single or multi-component adhesive, filler, sealer or primer, the material is conveyed from storage containers holding the individual components through a supply pipe and an outlet nozzle which dispenses the material directly into the borehole. By manually operating a handle lever, material is displaced out of the storage container into the supply pipe. Further, an actuating unit operated by the handle lever is connected to the outlet nozzle for telescoping it relative to the supply pipe whereby material is displaced out of the supply pipe through the outlet nozzle into the borehole.
