Claims
- 1. A manually-actuated fluid dispenser pump including a pump body (10) and a piston (50) mounted to slide in leaktight manner in said pump body (10) between a rest position and a dispensing position, said piston (50) being provided with at least a bottom sealing lip (51) in leaktight contact with said pump body (10), said pump body (10) being provided with an inwardly-extending radial shoulder (11) co-operating with said bottom lip (51) of the piston (50) to form an abutment for said piston (50), and to define its dispensing position, said pump being characterized in that said pump body (10) is provided with an axial annular setback (15) at said radial shoulder (11) so that the active sealing portion (53) of the bottom lip (51) makes no contact with said radial shoulder (11) when the piston (50) is in its dispensing position, so that no axial force is exerted on said active portion (53).
- 2. A pump according to claim 1, in which the bottom axial edge (54) of the bottom lip (51) of the piston (50) is slanting, so that, when the piston (50) is in the dispensing position, the non-active portion of the bottom edge (54) is in abutting contact with said radial shoulder (11) of the pump body (10), while the active sealing portion (53) extends inside said annular setback (15).
- 3. A fluid dispenser device, characterized in that it includes a pump according to any preceding claim.
