Claims
- 1. A liquid jetting pump comprising:a mounting cap fitted to a container neck portion; a cylinder fixed to a container through said cap and including a suction valve provided in a lower edge part extending downward into said container, said suction valve including a valve member always biased in a valve hole closing direction by a resilient member, a bar-like protrusion protruding above a top outer wall of the fixed cylinder; a stem which has an annular piston fitted to an interior of said cylinder, and protruding from a lower part of an outer periphery so as to be vertically movable in an upward-biased state; a push-down head, with a nozzle, disposed in continuation from an upper edge of said stem and vertically movable above said mounting cap; and a discharge valve provided with a valve member, for closing a valve hole formed in an inner upper part of said stem and being vertically movable by a liquid pressure, a vertical liquid passageway being defined in the stem between the nozzle and the valve hole, a liquid within said container being sucked into said cylinder through said suction valve, and a liquid within said cylinder being jetted out of said nozzle through said discharge valve from said stem by vertically moving a vertically movable member constructed of said stem and said push-down head.
- 2. The liquid jetting pump of claim 1, wherein a vertical stroke of said discharge valve member is regulated so that Vb−Vc is equal to or larger than Va, wherein Va is the volumetric capacity of said nozzle, Vb is the volumetric capacity of the liquid passageway where said discharge valve member is vertically movable, and Vc is the volume of said discharge valve member.
- 3. The liquid jetting pump of claim 1, wherein said suction valve member is a ball-like suction valve member.
- 4. The liquid jetting pump of claim 3, further comprising a coil spring provided between the fixed cylinder and the ball-like suction valve member, the coil spring serving as the resilient member biasing the valve member in a valve hole closing direction.
- 5. The liquid jetting pump of claim 4, wherein a lower end of the coil spring is press-fitted onto an upper surface of the ball-like suction valve member.
- 6. The liquid jetting pump of claim 4, wherein an upper end of the coil spring is secured to an outer periphery of a bar-like protrusion protruding below the fixed cylinder.
- 7. The liquid jetting pump of claim 1, wherein when the stem is pushed down, an inner peripheral surface of the stem is lightly fitted to the outside periphery of the bar-like protrusion.
- 8. The liquid jetting pump of claim 1, wherein the nozzle has a proximal end portion that extends obliquely upward to a tip that descends obliquely.
- 9. The liquid jetting pump of claim 1, wherein a vertical stroke of the discharge valve member is at least 10 mm.
- 10. A liquid jetting pump comprising:a mounting cap fitted to a container neck portion; a cylinder fixed to a container through said cap and including a suction valve provided in a lower edge part extending downward into said container, said suction valve including a valve member always biased in a valve hole closing direction by a resilient member; a stem which has an annular piston fitted to an interior of said cylinder, and protruding from a lower part of an outer periphery so as to be vertically movable in an upward-biased state; a push-down head, with a nozzle, disposed in continuation from an upper edge of said stem and vertically movable above said mounting cap; and a discharge valve provided with a valve member, for closing a valve hole formed in an inner upper part of said stem and being vertically movable by a liquid pressure, a vertical liquid passageway being defined in the stem between the nozzle and the valve hole, a liquid within said container being sucked into said cylinder through said suction valve, and a liquid within said cylinder being jetted out of said nozzle through said discharge valve from said stem by vertically moving a vertically movable member constructed of said stem and said push-down head, wherein a vertical stroke of said discharge valve member is regulated so that Vb−Vc is equal to or larger than Va, wherein Va is the volumetric capacity of said nozzle, Vb is the volumetric capacity of the liquid passageway where said discharge valve member is vertically movable, and Vc is the volume of said discharge valve member.
- 11. The liquid jetting pump of claim 10, wherein said valve member is a ball-like suction valve member.
- 12. The liquid jetting pump of claim 11, further comprising a coil spring provided between the fixed cylinder and the ball-like suction valve member, the coil spring serving as the resilient member biasing the valve member in a valve hole closing direction.
- 13. The liquid jetting pump of claim 12, wherein a lower end of the coil spring is press-fitted onto an upper surface of the ball-like suction valve member.
- 14. The liquid jetting pump of claim 12, wherein an upper end of the coil spring is secured to an outer periphery of a bar-like protrusion protruding below the fixed cylinder.
- 15. The liquid jetting pump of claim 10, wherein a bar-like protrusion protrudes above a top outer wall of the fixed cylinder.
- 16. The liquid jetting pump of claim 15, wherein when the stem is pushed down, an inner peripheral surface of the stem is lightly fitted to the outside periphery of the bar-like protrusion.
- 17. The liquid jetting pump of claim 16, wherein the nozzle has a proximal end portion that extends obliquely upward to a tip that descends obliquely.
- 18. The liquid jetting pump of claim 10, wherein a vertical stroke of the discharge valve member is at least 10 mm.
