Abstract

A pump for dispensing or spraying a fluid product comprises a pump body delimiting a pump chamber in which slides a piston. The pump comprises a hollow plunger-rod having an outlet passage. The plunger-rod is coupled to the piston to actuate the piston and to enable escape of the product. The pump further comprises an aspiration chamber which communicates with the hollow plunger-rod and which is reduced in volume when the plunger-rod is depressed and increased in volume when pressure is removed from the plunger-rod. The aspiration chamber is delimited by the piston and the plunger-rod and the volume of the chamber is varied by relative sliding movement between the plunger-rod and the piston.
