Abstract

A dispenser for discharging liquid to pasty masses, has a pump head and a pump chamber, having a pump chamber wall and an inlet valve and an outlet valve. The pump chamber is formed by a bellows part, on which the inlet valve is integrally formed. The inlet valve is retained of retaining arms, which extend in the peripheral direction of the inlet valve and are connected to the pump chamber wall and to the inlet valve, and the inlet valve forms a peripherally extending valve lip, which freely protrudes in cross-section. The inlet valve extends in the shape of a circle segment in a longitudinal cross-section of the bellows part, having an upper dome segment and the lower valve lip. The connection to the retaining arms is formed at a height center of the inlet valve or at an offset therefrom toward a free edge of the valve lip.

Claims (4)

1. A dispenser ( 1 ) for discharging liquid to pasty masses ( 4 ) comprising a pump head ( 2 ) and a pump chamber ( 12 ), which is formed in the pump head and has a pump chamber wall, as well as an inlet valve ( 14 ) and an outlet valve ( 24 ), wherein the pump chamber ( 12 ) is formed by a bellows part ( 13 ), on which the inlet valve ( 14 ) is integrally formed, wherein the inlet valve ( 14 ) is retained by means of retaining arms ( 30 ), which extend in the circumferential direction of the inlet valve ( 14 ) and are connected to the pump chamber wall and to the inlet valve ( 14 ), and wherein the inlet valve ( 14 ) extends in the shape of a circle segment in a longitudinal cross section of the bellows part ( 13 ) and comprises an upper dome section ( 31 ) and a circumferentially extending lower valve lip ( 23 ) that protrudes in cross section and which closes the valve ( 14 ) by contacting an outer surface of a counter ring ( 21 ), wherein the connection to the retaining arms ( 30 ) is located at a height center of the inlet valve ( 14 ) or at an offset therefrom toward the free edge of the valve lip ( 23 ).

2. The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the connection is located in the transition of the upper dome section ( 31 ) into the lower valve lip ( 23 ), which extends linearly.

3. The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the dome section ( 31 ) forms a semicircle together with the valve lip ( 23 ).

4. The dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the wall thickness (d) of the dome section ( 31 ) is greater than the wall thickness (e) of the valve lip ( 23 ).
