Liquid dispensing device
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid dispensing device. The device has a main housing, and comprises: a liquid delivery pump, comprising: an inlet; an outlet; a piston, disposed in a cylinder, the piston being movable in a liquid delivery direction between a first position and a second position, and in a liquid priming direction between the second position and the first position; and resilient means for biasing the piston in the liquid priming direction; an operating button, movable between a first position and a second position, and configured to act on the piston to move the piston in the liquid delivery direction; and resilient means for biasing the operating button in the liquid priming direction independently of said piston. In one embodiment, the operating button comprises locking means, configured to engage with the main housing to substantially prevent movement of said operating button in the liquid delivery direction until the operating button and the piston are in their respective first positions. In a further embodiment, the device further comprises a dosing ring configured to limit movement of said operating button in the liquid delivery direction, the dosing ring being adjustably mounted on a support member to enable the volume of liquid dispensed to be adjusted.
