Abstract:
A fluid pump includes a pump body having a pump inlet and a pump outlet, and a spring valve combination provided within the pump body. The spring valve combination includes a spring body having a first end portion, a second end portion and a spring section therebetween, which spring section is compressible in an axial direction from an initial condition to a compressed condition and is subsequently expandable to its initial condition; a first valve element provided at the first end portion of the spring body; and a second valve element provided at the second end portion of the spring body, wherein the spring body and the first and second valve elements are integrally formed. The first and second valve elements interact with an interior of the pump body to define a one-way inlet valve and a one-way outlet valve, respectively.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of dispensing a fluid from the fluid pump according to  claim 1 , the method comprising:\n exerting an axial force on the pump body between the pump inlet and the pump outlet to cause axial compression of the spring body and a reduction in volume of the pump body; allowing the second valve element to open, such that fluid from the pump body flows through the pump outlet, while the first valve remains closed; releasing the axial force on the pump body to cause expansion of the spring body and an increase in volume of the pump body; and allowing the first valve element to open, such that fluid is allowed to flow into the pump body, while the second valve remains closed.
