Abstract
A manually-actuated fluid dispenser pump with a pump body (10) having a longitudinal axis (A), and a dip tube (90) connected to the pump body (10) and serving to extend towards the bottom of a reservoir to which the pump is assembled, the pump being characterized in that the dip tube (90) is substantially rigid and extends axially along the longitudinal axis (A) of the pump prior to the pump being assembled to the reservoir, the dip tube (90) being provided with deflection or tilting mechanism (95) so that, after assembly, the dip tube (90) forms an angle with the longitudinal axis (A) of the pump.
Claims11
A manually-actuated fluid dispenser pump comprising a pump body (10) having a longitudinal axis (A), and a dip tube (90) connected to said pump body (10) and serving to extend towards the bottom of a reservoir to which said pump is assembled, said dip tube (90) is substantially rigid and extends axially along the longitudinal axis (A) of the pump prior to the pump being assembled to the reservoir, said dip tube (90) provided with deflection or tilting means (95) so that, after assembly, said dip tube (90) forms an angle with said longitudinal axis (A) of the pump;
- and wherein said dip tube (90) is provided with a radial annular flange (91) that co-operates inside the pump body (10) with an annular end wall (11) of the pump body (10), said dip tube (90) being assembled to said pump body (10) via the inside of the pump body (10), and said radial flange (91) supporting the spring (70) of the pump.
A fluid dispenser, comprising:
- a reservoir;
- and
- a fluid dispenser pump, comprising:
- a pump body assembled to the reservoir, the pump body defining a longitudinal axis and having an annular end wall, and
- a dip tube connected to the pump body and extending towards a bottom of the reservoir, and wherein the dip tube is substantially rigid, the dip tube provided with a deflection portion that is deflected by the insertion of the dip tube into the reservoir, thereby forming an angle with the longitudinal axis of the pump body;
- and
- a spring;
- and
- wherein the dip tube is provided with a radial annular flange that co-operates inside the pump body with the annular end wall of the pump body, the radial annular flange supporting the spring of the pump.
