  • the outlet valve of the pump of the present invention is not obhgée to resist the pressure of the product during the entire actuation stroke of the pump, but is instead requested towards its closed position by said product contained in the pump chamber. There is therefore no ⁇ sque opening of the outlet valve.
  • the outlet valve is urged towards its closed position by the pressure of the product contained in the pump chamber, it is not precluded from being produced with a predetermined rigidity, and its opening in actuation limit switch, by a lever element is easily obtained without having to overcome a resistance to deformation inherent in the mate ⁇ au of the outlet valve, as is the case in the ante ⁇ eur state devices.
  • said lever element slides with said piston and said outlet valve to a cam member integral with the pump body which, at the end of actuation of the pump, deforms and / or displaces the lever element to open the outlet valve.
  • said cam member is formed by a shoulder of the pump body.
  • said lever element is made in one piece with said outlet valve.
  • a pump in which said lever element is produced separately from said outlet valve is provided.
  • said inlet valve in the pump rest position, said inlet valve is biased towards its open position by a spring and, when the pump is actuated, said inlet valve is biased towards its closed position and moves by compressing the spring under the effect of the pressure of the product contained in the pump chamber, said spring being suddenly released when opening the outlet valve at the end actuation of the pump, thereby returning the inlet valve to its rest position and expelling the product contained in the pump chamber mdependent on the actuation force exerted on the pump by the user.
  • said spring of the inlet valve in addition to the expulsion of the product, also returns the piston to its rest position.
  • said inlet valve is produced in the form of a hollow cyhndre closed on one side by a bottom wall, the edge of the open end of said hollow cyhndre cooperating, from the start of actuation of the pump. , with a cylinder of the pump body to close the inlet valve, the spring resting on the one hand on the bottom wall of the inlet valve and on the other hand on a part of the pump body.

  • a precompression pump comprises a pump body
  • the outlet valve 12 is produced so that when the actuation of the pump, it is urged towards its closed position by the pressure of the product contained in the pump chamber 10. It is only at the end of actuation of the pump that said outlet valve 12 is moved to its position opening to allow the expulsion of the product contained in the pump chamber 10.
  • This opening is made, according to the invention, using a lever element 30, which is preferably disposed between the rod actuation 2 and said outlet valve 12.
  • the lever element 30 is disposed between the outlet valve 12 and the actuation rod 2, the unit formed by the actuation rod 2 , outlet valve 12 and lever element 30 coulis in the pump body 3, together with the piston 1, when the pump is actuated.
  • the pump body 3 comprises a cam member 4 which, at the end of actuation of the pump, as shown in FIG. 3, deforms and / or displaces the lever element 30 to open the outlet valve 12.
  • this cam member 4 can be produced by a shoulder of the pump body.
  • the present invention applies more particularly to precompression pumps in which the expulsion of the product contained in the pump chamber 10 is carried out independently of the actuating force exerted by the user.
  • the inlet valve 11 can cooperate with a spring 20 which, when the pump is actuated, is compressed by the movement of the inlet valve 11 under the effect of the pressure created in the pressure chamber. pump 10.
  • a spring 20 which, when the pump is actuated, is compressed by the movement of the inlet valve 11 under the effect of the pressure created in the pressure chamber. pump 10.
  • said compressed spring 20 At the end of the pump actuation stroke, when the outlet valve 12 is opened by the lever element 30, said compressed spring 20 will be suddenly released, so that the product contained in the pump chamber 10 is expelled via said spring.
  • said spring 20 of the inlet valve 11 also acts as a return spring for the pump,
  • said inlet valve 11 can be produced in the form of a hollow cylinder 10 closed on one side by a bottom wall 111, the edge 113 of the open end of said hollow cylinder 10 cooperating from the start of actuation of the pump with a cylinder 7 of the pump body 3 to close the inlet valve 11.
