Trigger-type pump dispenser
A pump dispenser includes a housing, a piston structure, a spring, a trigger and a valve. The housing has a front cylinder part and a rear inverted-L-shaped grip part that are integrally formed, a nozzle base that is attached to the housing and that has a front nozzle part mounted thereon. The piston structure is configured of a hollow-shaped piston and a hollow-shaped piston shaft and that slides inside the cylinder part. The spring presses the piston structure upward. The trigger is positioned above the housing, has a front tip rotatably mounted on the housing, and has a mid part where a tip of the hollow-shaped piston shaft abuts. The valve rod is disposed at a center part of the cylinder part.
1. A pump dispenser attachable to a container, comprising:
a housing with a front cylinder part and a rear inverted-L-shaped grip part integrally formed, a nozzle base attached to the housing and having a front nozzle part mounted thereon;
a piston structure configured of a hollow-shaped piston and a hollow-shaped piston shaft and sliding inside the cylinder part;
a spring which presses the hollow-shaped piston and the hollow-shaped piston shaft upward;
a trigger positioned above the housing, having a front tip rotatably mounted on the housing, and having a mid part where a tip of the piston shaft abuts; and
a valve rod disposed at a center part inside the cylinder part, wherein
the hollow-shaped piston is integrally formed so that a larger-diameter piston part, a smaller diameter piston part, and an intermediate-diameter mid part have a same axis center, the intermediate-diameter mid part has a diameter smaller than the larger-diameter piston part and larger than the smaller diameter piston part, and the smaller diameter piston part has a lip part inside,
the valve rod has a first end part, a second end part at an opposite end from the first end part, a valve body having a valve function in cooperation with the lip part at the first end, and an enlarged part at the second end part, and
a finger abutting part of the inverted-L-shaped grip part is at rear of a force point of a thumb pad part of the trigger.
2. The pump dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein
the hollow-shaped piston shaft has an upper part formed into a bifurcated part, tip parts of the bifurcated part abutting on the trigger, and a lower part incorporated in the hollow-shaped piston.
3. The pump dispenser according to claim 2 , wherein
support shafts each protrude from an outer side surface of a respective one of the tip parts of the bifurcated part.
4. The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein
the smaller diameter piston part of the piston structure is freely slidable inside a hollow part in a longitudinal direction formed in the nozzle base, and movement of the piston structure is not transmitted to the nozzle base.
5. The pump dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein
a stopper is inserted between the trigger and the inverted-L-shaped grip part.
