Abstract
A manual pump (P) having a pump body (B) defining a slide cylinder (F) for a piston (K) secured to an actuator rod (S); a pump chamber (C) and an outlet valve (V) arranged between the pump chamber (C) and a dispenser orifice (O) so as to dispense the fluid from the pump chamber (C). The pump includes an inlet valve (2, 12) arranged between the pump chamber (C) and an inlet (I) of the pump (P) to take the fluid into the pump chamber (C) from the reservoir (R), the inlet valve having a movable member (2) that selectively bears against a valve seat (12), a return passage (23) enabling a fraction of the fluid that is put under pressure in the pump chamber (C) to escape therefrom without passing via the outlet valve (V). The return passage (23) creates a lack of sealing at the inlet valve.
