| abstract |
A pump assembly cap includes an accumulator reservoir configured for fluid communication with a container through a one-way inlet valve. An actuator including a dispensing passage having a dispensing orifice. A delivery path extended from the one-way inlet valve, through the accumulator reservoir, the one-way outlet valve, and to the dispensing orifice. The delivery path includes a sealed configuration and an opened configuration. In the sealed configuration, the actuator is in a ready position and the accumulator reservoir includes a first volume, the one-way outlet valve hermetically seals the accumulator reservoir, and the one-way inlet valve is closed. In the opened configuration, the actuator is moved to a dispensing position and the accumulator reservoir includes a second volume less than the first volume, the hermetic seal of the one-way outlet is open, and the one-way inlet valve is closed. |
