Abstract
A manually operated pump and a method for pumping a preferably cosmetic liquid are proposed in which actuation is performed either by manual linear actuation or by swiveling actuation using a lever mechanism. The pump can be equipped with a locking device that blocks actuation of the pump in the locked state. The delivery head of the pump can be integrally formed with the swivel lever. Moreover, components of the pump can advantageously be provided with a flexible or elastic layer.
Claims30
A manually operated pump for a preferably cosmetic liquid, such as hair spray, particularly from an associated liquid container, wherein the pump has a first actuation element with a first actuation area and is constructed such that the first actuation area can be moved manually in a first direction of actuation to actuate the pump,
- wherein the pump has a second actuation element with a second actuation area separated from the first actuation area and is constructed such that the second actuation area can be moved manually in a second direction of actuation that is different from the first direction of actuation to actuate the pump, and/or
- wherein a pump element of the pump can selectively be depressed manually and linearly via the first actuation area, particularly via a delivery head, or actuated manually via a mechanism, particularly a lever mechanism.
A manually operated pump for a preferably cosmetic liquid, such as hair spray, particularly from an associated liquid container, wherein the pump has a delivery head, a swivel lever as an actuation element, an outer casing and a locking device for locking the pump against actuation,
- wherein the locking device acts between the delivery head and the outer casing in the locked state in order to block depression of the delivery head.
A manually operated pump for a preferably cosmetic liquid, such as hair spray, particularly from an associated liquid container, wherein the pump has a delivery head, a swivel lever engaging in an articulated manner on the delivery head as an actuation element, and an outer casing,
- wherein the delivery head is integrally formed with the actuation element or forms a structural unit.
A manually operated pump for a preferably cosmetic liquid, such as hair spray, particularly from an associated liquid container, with a swivel lever as an actuation element and a part that can be moved relative to the actuation element, preferably a delivery head,
- wherein the actuation element and/or the part that can be moved relative to the actuation element is or are provided with a flexible or elastic layer.
A method for pumping a cosmetic liquid, wherein either a first actuation element is manually depressed, thus moving a pump element linearly, or a second actuation element swiveled manually, and the swiveling movement of the second actuation element is converted into a linear movement of the pump element.
