Abstract
A device for dispensing fluids employs a manually actuated pump mounted in the neck of a conventional container. The pump includes a stationary piston and a shiftable cylinder which form a pump chamber. The piston includes a check valve which controls the fluid inlet to the pump chamber. The cylinder is spring biased in a direction which pressurizes the fluid in the pump chamber. An upwardly extending neck of the cylinder is exteriorly threaded and carries a discharge valve. A cap which fits over the container neck, cylinder neck and discharge valve has an internally threaded tubular portion which can be engaged with the thread on the cylinder neck. The cap can be turned with the threads engaged to lift the cylinder against the bias of the spring and draw fluid into the pump chamber. With the cap removed, the discharge valve can be opened to allow fluid in the pump chamber to flow through the cylinder neck and exit from the discharge valve.
