Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3081312A1] A fluid dispenser is disclosed, including a reservoir containing fluid to be dispensed; a replaceable pump assembly comprising a pump and a dip tube removably coupled together; and a locking member coupled to the dip tube. While in a pumping configuration, with the dip tube inserted into the reservoir, the pump is operable to draw the fluid from the reservoir through the dip tube and dispense the fluid from a pump outlet. The locking member is configured to engage with the reservoir to prevent the dip tube from being extracted from the reservoir. If a sufficient force is applied attempting to move the pump away from the dip tube, with the dip tube locked within the reservoir, the pump and the dip tube are configured to separate and assume an uncoupled condition. The construction prevents the pump assembly from being reused, to reduce the risk of contamination.
