Definitions

• the present invention relates to a pump for the removal of liquid or pasty mass, in particular liquid soap, creams, disinfectants, foodstuffs or other flowable substances, from a reservoir, in particular a contractible storage container, and a corresponding dispenser and a corresponding method for removing liquid or pasty mass.
• liquid or pasty mass in particular liquid soap, creams, disinfectants, foodstuffs or other flowable substances
• Pumps for removing liquid soap are known which have a chamber-forming body, hereinafter also referred to as a cylinder, two one-way valves, also called check valves, and a piston guided in the cylinder.
• These pumps usually contain at least some metal parts, such as metal balls for one-way valves and metal springs for preloading the one-way valves in the closed position.
• the disadvantage of using metal parts is that the pumps cannot be easily ground in plastic mills for recycling, since most plastic grinding machines cannot tolerate metal parts. A previous separation of the plastic parts from the metal parts would mean a considerable effort. As a result, pumps were developed which are composed exclusively of plastic parts. US Pat. No. 5,975,360 in FIGS.
• a pump for removing liquid soap which has a cylinder which is connected to the reservoir via a plastic flap valve in such a way that the liquid can get into the cylinder from the reservoir, a backflow should be prevented as far as possible.
• a piston which can be moved back and forth in the longitudinal direction and which consists of an application tube which is closed at the top, that is to say in the direction of the check valve, and which has two sealing elements spaced apart at its upper end, the respective diameter of which corresponds to the inside diameter of the cylinder. Openings are provided between the two sealing elements in the application tube, transversely to the longitudinal direction, which are connected to the central application channel of the application tube.
• the sealing element arranged above the openings is an elastic sealing lip, whereas the lower sealing element is a rigid plastic ring. If the piston is now moved downward from its upper end position, a vacuum is created in the part of the cylinder above the piston which causes the check valve to open, in order to pump liquid soap from the reservoir into the upper cylinder part. If the piston is then moved back upwards from its lower end position, an overpressure is created in the cylinder area above the piston, which causes the check valve to close. Since, ideally, the soap located in the upper cylinder area cannot get back into the reservoir through the valve, the soap presses past the elastic sealing lip into the intermediate space when there is sufficient pressure build-up between the two sealing elements and from there through the openings in the application tube, which finally releases the soap to the environment.
• the known pump has the disadvantage that the check valve loses its sealing effect over time, for example due to dried-on soap residues in the area of the valve flap. Otherwise, a check valve made exclusively of plastic is a relatively elastic component, which also has a negative effect on the sealing effect. As soon as the sealing effect wears off a little and the liquid flow stops, ambient air flows into the reservoir. The consequence is that a sufficient vacuum cannot be built up in the reservoir, which is usually a contractible reservoir. However, the vacuum is essential for the check valve to function optimally. In addition, the container cannot be optimally compressed, so that the liquid soap cannot be sucked out completely. Because the reservoir cannot be optimally compressed with the known pump, a non-usable residual amount of 5 to 20% of the original content regularly remains in the reservoir.
• No. 5,975,360 in FIGS. 11 to 21 discloses various embodiments of a pump in which the cylinder is divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, the two chambers having a different cross section.
• the piston is formed from an application tube with circumferential sealing elements, although now three sealing elements are provided.
• the lower two sealing elements correspond to those from the prior art described above, openings also being present between these sealing elements in the application tube in order to connect the space between these two sealing elements to the application channel of the application tube.
• Both lower sealing elements, the fixed and the elastic lie sealingly on the cylinder in the lower chamber.
• a further sealing element also designed as an elastic sealing lip, which is arranged in a sealing manner in the region of the upper chamber. Due to the different volumes of the chambers of the cylinder, a negative pressure is generated when the piston is moved back and forth between the upper two elastic sealing lips, which causes soap from the reservoir to pass the upper sealing lip and into the space between the two elastic sealing lips suppressed. If the piston is then moved in the opposite direction, the two chambers of different sizes create an overpressure between the two elastic sealing lips, so that the soap, because the upper sealing lip prevents the vacuum from flowing back in the direction of the vacuum, on the lower sealing lip presses into the area between the lower two sealing lips. From there the soap then goes outside through the opening and the application tube.
• the pump described above no longer has a check valve, it does have several elastic sealing elements. These sealing elements also have the disadvantage that they lose their sealing effect over time, especially if the product to be pumped in the Area of the sealing elements is dried, so that residual quantities remain unused in the reservoir. Incidentally, the coarser the product to be pumped or its admixtures, the greater the remaining amount.
• the present invention has for its object to provide a pump for removing liquid or pasty mass, in particular liquid soap, as well as a corresponding dispenser and a corresponding method, with which an improved sealing effect can be achieved and with which the remaining Residual amount in the reservoir is reducible.

• the pump according to the invention manages entirely without a check valve and elastic sealing lips, thus dispensing with the parts which, in the prior art, negatively influence the sealing effect and thus the build-up of the vacuum in the reservoir.
• this pump differs from the prior art in that new liquid is sucked into the cylinder from the reservoir at the same time as the liquid is released from the cylinder into the environment, that is, self-priming is realized according to the invention.

• the upper cylinder chamber is then separated from the lower cylinder chamber in such a way that no liquid can get from the upper into the lower chamber.
• a projecting element on the outer auxiliary tube which interacts with a part of the hollow piston, presses the hollow piston from its lower to its upper end position. This reduces the volume of the upper chamber of the cylinder, which increases the pressure of the liquid.

At the same time, the openings previously covered by the hollow piston, which connect the cylinder to the reservoir, are released and the volume in the lower cylinder chamber is increased. A negative pressure is created in the lower chamber, which causes liquid to be sucked into the lower chamber from the reservoir.

If the movable part of the dispenser and thus the inner application tube is moved further down, the outer auxiliary tube is also caused to move from its upper end position to its lower end position.
