Abstract
An oral irrigator includes a drive assembly, a pump assembly, and a flexible membrane seal. The drive assembly is received within a housing. The pump assembly is positioned at least partially within a pump chamber. The pump assembly includes a piston and a connecting rod coupled to the drive assembly, the connecting rod movable between first and second positions through operation of the drive assembly. The flexible membrane seal extends from an interior surface of the pump chamber to the connecting rod to fluidly seal an open end of the pump chamber. The flexible membrane seal deforms from a first orientation to a second orientation as the connecting rod moves from the first position to the second position.
