Abstract
A finger-operated spray pump assembly adapted to maintain a seal against leakage under substantially all conditions normally encountered by the pump. The assembly includes a compression chamber, a piston slidable in the compression chamber, a stem slidable in the piston, and a seal member abutting the piston. The lower end of the valve stem contacts the seal member to open the seal slightly before the piston starts its downstroke. A closure member for the container to be used is permanently attached to the spray pump.
