Fig. 5 shows the pump shaft 50 to move to the second end of the housing 32 of the pump housing 30 by the external force of an operator, and Fig. 6 shows the pump shaft 50, on his return to the first end of the housing 31 of the pump housing 30 is under the action of the spring 90th
When the dispenser head 60 is retracted by an operator, the pump shaft 50 moves to the second housing end 32 of the pump housing 30 and the pump shaft 50 moves with respect to the piston 120. The second stem valve seat 112 is of the second piston valve surface 129 to open the inlet ports adjusted 101-103 of the stem channel and the first shaft valve seat 111 keeps the sliding seal with respect to the first piston valve surface 128 upright, to prevent that the liquid flows from the second pump cylinder 34B in the first pump cylinder 34A. The first one-way valve 80 remains in the closed position, the movable valve 84 to the valve seat seals the 82nd
The movement of the pump shaft 50 to the second end of the housing 32 of the pump housing 30 reduces the volume of the second pump cylinder 34B to pump fluid within the second pump cylinder 34B into the shank passage 54 of the pump shaft 50, as is shown by the arrows in Fig. 5. The liquid is pumped to the first shaft end 51 and through the outlet duct 62A for dispensing from the outlet opening 62nd

Fig. Figure 6 shows the pump stem 50 during its return to the first housing end 31 of the pump housing 30 under the action of the spring 90. When the dispenser head 60 is returned by the spring 90, the pump shaft 50 moves to the first housing end 31 of the pump housing 30 and the pump shaft 50 moves with respect to the piston 120. the first stem valve seat 111 maintains a sliding seal against the first valve piston surface 128 upright and closes the inlet ports 101, 103 of the stem channel. The second drain valve seat 112 moves into abutment against the second valve piston surface 129 is prevented so that the liquid flows from the pump cylinder 34B in the shaft channel 54 of the pump shaft 50th While maintaining the movement of the pump shaft 50 of the plunger covered 120 from the vent opening 139, which extends through the pump cylinder wall 36 of the pump housing 30th
The movement of the pump shaft 50 to the first housing end 31 of the pump casing 30 increases the volume of the second pump cylinder 34B, so that the internal pressure prevailing therein is reduced. The reduced pressure in the second pump cylinder 34B causes the movable valve 84 disengages from the sealing engagement with the valve seat 82 to open the first one-way valve 80th The open, first one-way valve 80 makes it possible that the liquid through the suction pipe 78 penetrates in the tank 20 into the second pump cylinder 34B, as shown by arrows in Fig. 6.

The first and second locking cam 151 and 151a of the pump shaft 50 are respectively at the first stoppers 181a and 181, to limit the counterclockwise rotation of the pump shaft 50 and the first and second locking cam 151 and 151A with respect to the first and second spaces 201 and 202 align. When the first and second locking cam 151 and 151A aligned with respect to the first and second spaces 201 and 202, the first and second locking cam can be 151 and 151A moves through the first and second spaces 201 and 202, so that the pump shaft 50 moves back and forth can be in order to pump the liquid from the container 20 through the outlet opening 62nd
Fig. 15 is a cross section similar to FIG. 9, wherein the pump shaft 50 is locked in the retracted position to prevent movement of the dispensing head 60. Fig. 16 is a central longitudinal section along the line 16-16 in Fig. 15, while Fig. 17 is a partially broken-away, bottom isometric view of FIG. 15 is.
The dispenser head 60 is shown rotated in the retracted position, wherein the first and second locking cam 151 and 151a of the pump shaft 50 opposite the first and second locking blocks are aligned 161 and 162nd The first and second locking cam 151 and 151A are compared with the second locking surfaces 172 and 172A shown aligned in order to prevent movement of the dispensing head 60 in the direction of the first housing end 31 of the pump housing 30th The second stops 182 and 182A limit a rotational movement in the clockwise direction in Fig. 12-14, after the first and second locking cam 151 and 151A of the pump shaft 50 are hinged respectively at the second stops 182 and 182A.
When an operator wishes 10 to return the pump to the working position according to FIG. 9 to 11, the dispensing head 60 is rotated counterclockwise in Fig. 15. The first and second locking cam 151 and 151a of the pump shaft 50 are respectively at the second stops 182A and 182 to limit the rotational movement in the counterclockwise direction of the pump shaft 50 and the first and second locking cam 151 and 151A with the first and second spaces 201 and 202 align. When the first and second locking cam 151 and 151A aligned with respect to the first and second spaces 201 and 202, the first and second locking cam can be 151 and 151A moves through the first and second spaces 201 and 202, so that the pump shaft 50 moves back and forth can be in order to pump the liquid from the container through the outlet opening 62nd
The pump according to the invention is prevented by the described overlapping area 61 between the dispensing head 60 and the outer end of the sleeve 73 in any position of the pump shaft 50 penetration of foreign matter or liquids from the outside that the finished to a reduction in quality or contamination in the with the pump can cause fluid reservoir contained. Here, moreover, the functionality of the pump is maintained, the sic easily h either in the extended Aussgangsstellung or in the retracted pump stroke end position can lock.
