Efoam pump with spring isolated from flow path

Abstract

A foam pump has a spring isolated from a flow path. Due to the arrangement of inner tube and outer tube of the pressing head and a spring installed between the inner tube and the outer tube, in the suction process, the liquid (or emulation) in the bottle flows through the inner channel of the inner tube and thus it does not contact with the outer tube so that the foams will not be polluted by the material spring. The spring is isolated with the foaming flow path so that it does not resist the flow of the foams; the liquid (or emulsion) does not contact the foams so that the foams are not polluted and thus the liquid in a bottle is retained purely; the liquid is not chemically reacted with the material of the spring and thus no harmful object generates.

an upper hollow center of the lower piston receiving the air valve ( 500 ) so that an upper side of the air valve being tightly engaged to an inner wall of the lower piston ( 120 ); an outer middle part of the lower piston ( 120 ) being protruded with a flange ( 121 ); a plurality of slots ( 122 ) being formed in the flange; a lower side of the lower piston being biforked into an inner ring ( 123 ) and an outer ring ( 124 );   an elastic sheet ( 600 ) being a round cylinder and being tightly engaged into a recess ( 402 ) in an inner wall of the upper piston ( 400 ); a lower side of the elastic sheet resisting against an upper wall of the flange ( 121 ) of the lower piston ( 120 ); a lower outer wall of the elastic sheet being extended with an elastic outer annular sheet ( 601 ) which shields the plurality of through holes ( 402 ) in an annular transversal ring ( 403 ) of the upper piston from a lower side of the annular transversal ring; a lower inner wall of the elastic sheet ( 600 ) being extended with an elastic inner annular sheet ( 602 ) which shields the plurality of slots ( 122 ) in the flange ( 121 ) from the upper side of the flange;   a lower post ( 700 ) having a cylindrical structure with a hollow center and a sealed lower bottom; a lower side of the lower post being formed with a tapered head ( 701 ); a tip of the tapered head facing downwards; an upper side of the lower post being tightly engaged with the inner ring ( 123 ) of the lower piston ( 120 );   a lower casing ( 130 ) being formed by an inner pipe ( 131 ) and an outer pipe ( 132 ); the inner pipe ( 131 ) and the outer pipe ( 132 ) being connected at a lower bottom of the outer pipe ( 132 ); the outer pipe ( 132 ) having a round cylindrical structure and being opened at an upper side thereof and having a seal bottom ( 135 ) enclosing the inner tube ( 131 ); an upper end of the lower casing ( 130 ) expanding transversally to be engaged into an annular slot ( 355 ) in an inner wall of the upper casing ( 350 ) above the thread ( 9 ); the inner pipe being a round cylinder and being opened at an upper side thereof; an outer ring ( 123 ) of the lower piston ( 120 ) being tightly engaged to an inner wall of the inner pipe ( 131 ) of the lower casing; a reduced pipe ( 133 ) being extended from a lower end of the lower pipe and having a reduced diameter smaller than that of the lower pipe; an upper side of the reduced pipe ( 133 ) being protruded into an inner space of the lower pipe ( 131 ) and being extended as a shoulder portion ( 134 ) which resists against an upper surface of the tapered head ( 701 ) of the lower post ( 700 );
