Abstract
The invention relates to a pump of the type comprising a cylindro-conical body ( ) defining a metering chamber ( ) closed at its bottom portion by an inlet valve ( ) and at its top portion by a moving piston ( ) co-operating with resilient return means ( ) while being carried axially by a nozzle tube ( ) having a top end that projects outside the pump body and having a bottom end that is provided with at least one delivery orifice ( ), the pump being characterized in that said piston ( ) is slidably mounted firstly about the tube ( ) between a closure position closing the delivery orifice ( ) and an open position in which said orifice is fully open, and secondly in sealed peripheral contact with the inside wall of said chamber ( ) between a top end-of-stroke abutment and a bottom end-of-stroke abutment; the coefficient of friction between the piston ( ) and the tube ( ) being less than the coefficient of friction between said piston ( ) and the inside wall of the body ( ).
