Abstract (en)

A diaphragm 24 for attaching to a free edge of a perimetrical wall 18 of a pumping chamber 16 of a chassis 12 of a liquid containment and dispensing device 10, said diaphragm being preshaped to have a raised central portion 24a surrounded by a planar edge portion 24b. The raised central portion of the diaphragm permits the diaphragm, when secured to a free edge of the perimetrical wall, to flex with respect to the pumping chamber without leading to the formation of wrinkles in the planar edge portion. The diaphragm has an innermost layer 24c of LDPE, and the planar edge portion thereof is secured by heatstaking to the free edge of the perimetrical wall of the chassis, which is formed by molding from a plastic material. An aluminum crimp ring 26 is provided to tightly retain the planar edge portion of the diaphragm against the free edge of the perimetrical wall of the chassis. <IMAGE>
