Abstract:
1. An inside volume system for distributing fluid from a container, the system comprising: a pump having an inside volume compressible to a reduced volume and expandable to a resting volume; a dip tube for fluidly communicating a fluid in the container to the inside volume; an actuator having an actuator top and an actuator top surface and a plurality of orifices in the actuator top surface fluidly connected to the inside volume to permit liquid flow to the actuator top surface upon reciprocation of the actuator top; the actuator having an actuator skirt coupled to the actuator top and depending downwardly from the peripheral edge of the actuator top wherein the skirt exterior surface of the actuator skirt is slideably engagable with an interior surface of the container; and the actuator having a flexible layer overlaying the actuator top surface covering the plurality of orifices and at least one of slits or holes formed in the flexible layer, wherein the slits or holes are not formed directly over the plurality of orifices.
