Baster

A baster, comprising a cylinder for taking and accommodating gravy and the like, a piston reciprocatingly movable in said cylinder so as to produce a suction to suck gravy and the like into the cylinder and then to pump the gravy and the like from the cylinder;

• and a handle connected with said cylinder only in two points which are spaced from one another in an axial direction of said cylinder said handle being spaced from said cylinder except at said connecting points so as to form a one piece member with an elongated slot between said cylinder and said handle, said piston being composed of two disc-shaped piston parts which are connected with one another and having peripheral collars which are inclined in opposite directions and form wiping lips, so that in an assembled condition said peripheral collars are radially compressed and tightly abut against an inner surface of said cylinder so as to provide tightness between said piston and said cylinder, one of said piston parts having at least one annular groove, wherein another of said piston parts has at least one annular projection engaging in said annular groove.

• and a handle connected with said cylinder only in two points which are spaced from one another in an axial direction of said cylinder said handle being spaced from said cylinder except at said connecting points so that an elongated slot remains between said cylinder and said handle, said cylinder and said handle together forming a one-piece member composed of a thermoplastic material, so that because of said elongated slot, during manufacture of said one-piece member composed of a thermoplastic material deformations of said cylinder are avoided.

• and a handle connected with said cylinder only in two points which are spaced from one another in an axial direction of said cylinder said handle being spaced from said cylinder except at said connecting points so as to form a one piece member with an elongated slot between said cylinder and said handle, said cylinder having a front end through which the gravy and the like is dischargeable and a rear end with a space therebetween which is subdivided by said piston into a front chamber located between said piston and said front end and a rear chamber located between said piston and said rear end, so that the gravy and the like is sucked into said front chamber and then pumped out from said front chamber, said rear chamber being rearwardly open;
• and a cover which closes said rear chamber and is provided with passage means for passing air, said passage means including a plurality of openings which are located around an axis of said cylinder at substantially equal distances from said axis to reliably prevent a negative pressure formation in said rear chamber.
