The present invention is a new and improved paint can carrier adapted for attachment to he person of a painter to maintain a paint can in a vertical orientation. The paint carrier comprises a vertically elongated cradle that swivels from a swing arm on one axis and the swing arm further swivels about a quick release coupler on another axis, thereby allowing the paint can to be maintained in a substantially vertical orientation at all times without regard to position of the person of the painter forming member having a cylindrical chamber about a chamber axis, the chamber having a cylindrical axially extending chamber wall, a piston forming element received in the piston-chamber forming member axially slidable inwardly and outwardly therein; said piston forming element having a head disc and a base, the head disc disposed coaxially about a disc axis and extending radially outwardly to a sealing edge portion circumferentially thereabout, the head disc coupled to the base for tilting of the head disc between a first coaxial sealed orientation and a second tilted unsealed orientation, in the first sealed orientation, the head disc is orientated with its axis coaxial the chamber axis and the sealing edge portions engaging the chamber wall to prevent fluid flow therepast in a first direction, in the second unsealed orientation, the head disc is orientated with its axis at an angle relative the chamber axis and the sealing edge portion permitting fluid flow therepast in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the head disc assuming the sealed orientation on relative sliding of the piston forming member in the second direction, and the head disc assuming the unsealed orientation on relative sliding of the piston forming member in the first direction. 2. A pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein the head disc and base are coupled together such that the head disc is biased to assume the sealed orientation. 3. A pump as claimed in claim 2 wherein the sealing edge portion is elastically deformable away from the chamber wall to permit fluid flow in the chamber past the head disc in the second direction. 4. A pump as claimed in claim 3 wherein the head disc having a configuration such that the sealing edge portion extending radially outwardly and axially towards the second direction. 5. A pump as claimed in claim 4 wherein on relative movement of the piston forming element in the second direction, resistance of fluid in the chamber to flow urges the sealing edge portions radially outwardly into sealed engagement with the chamber wall. 6. A pump as claimed in claim 1 wherein the piston forming element having a head portion comprising the head disc, the head portion further including a head stem portion extending axially from the head disc away from the head disc to an end of the head stem portion coupled to the base to permit tilting of the head disc and head stem portion as a unit relative the base between the sealed and unsealed orientations. 7. A pump as claimed in claim 6 wherein the head stem portion is biased to assume the sealed orientation. 8. A pump as claimed in claim 7 wherein the base includes a base stem portion coaxial with the chamber axis, the head stem portion coupled to the base stem, the head stem portion and base stem portion comprising a resiliently deformable integral plastic member with a flexible juncture provided therebetween of reduced cross-section which is resiliently deformable to permit tilting of the head disc portion relative the base stem portion between the unsealed orientation and the sealed orientation. 9. A pump as claimed in claim 8 wherein a base disc is provided on the base stem portion disposed axially about the chamber axis, the base disc having a sealing edge portion circumferentially thereabout extending radially to the chamber wall, the sealing edge portion of the base disc engaging the chamber wall to prevent fluid flow in the chamber past the base disc in the second direction, the base stem portion and head stem portion comprise portions of a hollow tube with a central passageway therethrough closed at an inner end in the head stem portion and open at an outlet proximate an outer end of the piston forming element; an inlet located on the hollow tube between the base disc and the head disc in communication with the central passageway. 10. A pump as claimed in claim 9 including a junction portion of the hollow tube between the head stem portion and the base s
