Abstract
A fluidic dispensing device for dispensing a fluid has a body having a chamber with a perimetrical end surface. The body has a stepped arrangement that includes a channel having a first inner side wall that defines a recessed path around the perimetrical end surface. A diaphragm has a dome portion, a perimetrical positioning rim, and a sealing surface. The channel of the body is sized and shaped to receive the perimetrical positioning rim of the diaphragm. The first inner side wall of the channel of the body engages a perimeter of the perimetrical positioning rim of the diaphragm to position the sealing surface of the diaphragm for sealing engagement with the perimetrical end surface of the chamber to define a fluid reservoir.
