A resin member capable of inhibiting generation of particles due to repeated bending thereof is provided. A rolling diaphragm 5 composed of a resin member has one surface formed as a liquid contact surface 37a, repeatedly bends when used, and has flexibility. A surface roughness of the liquid contact surface 37a at a portion 371 that bends is less than 0.40 μm as an arithmetic average roughness, and a total light reflectance of the liquid contact surface 37a at the portion 371 that bends is not less than 2.0%.

Various dispensing devices, such as foaming soap pumps, are disclosed. The soap pump can include a fluid storage unit and a fluid handling unit. The fluid storage unit can include a reservoir that is configured to hold a quantity of product, such as liquid soap. The fluid handling unit can include a pumping assembly and dispensing assembly. The soap pump can be configured to withdraw liquid soap from the reservoir, convert the liquid soap to foamed soap, and dispense the foamed soap from the discharge assembly.

A fluid filtration assembly includes a filter housing having a first end for fluid connection with a fluid storage vessel. A filter cartridge is disposable within the filter housing, and a plunger pump is coupled at a second end of the filter housing. The plunger pump includes a housing having a rigid portion and a flexible portion. The flexible portion has a plunger-engaging portion for coupling to the plunger of an actuator. The flexible portion selectively movable with respect to the rigid portion via the actuator. The filter cartridge can be a hollow fiber filter. The plunger pump can be configured to induce alternating tangential flow in at least a portion of the assembly. The fluid filtration assembly can be provided as a disposable single-use arrangement.

A device for dispensing a liquid may include a basin defining a reservoir, a pump including a barrel and a spring, the barrel coupled to the basin, the barrel defining a cavity, and the spring disposed in the cavity, and an actuator at least partially disposed in the reservoir, the actuator defining a first orifice, a second orifice, and a lumen extending between the first orifice and the second orifice, the reservoir in fluid communication with the lumen via the first orifice, the actuator depressible to move the second orifice in a first direction defined from the reservoir toward the cavity of the barrel, and the spring of the pump biasing the actuator to move in a second direction defined from the cavity of the barrel toward the reservoir.

An infusion pump includes a core member and a bladder member which are substantially spheroidal at one end and cylindrical at the other end. The core member is inserted inside the bladder member and a ring member engages the cylindrical ends of the core and bladder member to sealingly secure the bladder to the core. A tubular hose is included and is coupled with an infusion port of the core member. When fluid is injected into the pump, it causes the bladder member to inflate substantially symmetrically and spherically around an axial axis of the core member. Upon deflating the bladder member, the fluid is ejected out of the pump at a constant flow rate.

A diaphragm pump is revealed. The diaphragm pump includes a pump device, a pump body, a top cover, and an air release valve head. The pump body includes at least two air inlet passages, at least one air outlet passage and at least one leak-proof/sealing passage, all selectively communicating with one cavity. The top cover includes a valve port, an air vent and an air outlet duct. Air pressure in the leak-proof passage acts on the air release valve head so that the valve port is closed by the air release valve head while the pump device is pumping air. The air release valve head and the valve port are separated from each other and then the valve port is communicating with the air outlet duct when the pump device stops pumping air. The pump performance is improved and no air release valve is required.

A diaphragm pump converts rotation of a motor into a reciprocating motion and drives a diaphragm. The diaphragm pump includes a partition configured to form a pump chamber together with a deformation portion of the diaphragm, a suction passage communicating with the pump chamber via a suction through hole extending through the partition, and a suction valve configured to open/close the suction passage. The valve body of the suction valve includes a leak structure configured to form a channel between the valve body and the seat surface of the partition.
