A battery operated, handheld fluid dispenser comprises a supply container having a body portion and a narrow neck extending upwardly therefrom. A pump and discharge unit is mounted on the upper end of the neck and comprises a pump diaphragm and pump chamber for pumping liquid from the container to a discharge nozzle. A battery powered pump drive unit is mounted on the container and comprises an electric motor having an output shaft coupled with the pump diaphragm through a cam and cam follower arrangement to displace the diaphragm through a pump stroke when the motor is energized. The cam is rotatably driven by the motor, and the cam follower is attached to the diaphragm, whereby rotation of said cam axially displaces the diaphragm, and the cam and cam follower have interengaging dual cam faces for balancing lateral forces therebetween during rotation of said cam relative to said cam follower.

Having thus described the invention, it is so claimed: 1. In a motor operated sprayer for a fluid supply container comprising a discharge opening, a variable volume pump having a pump axis and having axially spaced apart fixed and movable ends, said fixed end being in flow communication with said discharge opening, an inlet for connecting said pump with fluid in a supply container, an outlet for connecting said pump with said discharge opening, an electric motor, a cam rotatably driven by said motor, and a cam follower for displacing said movable end of said pump, whereby rotation of said cam axially displaces said movable end toward and away from said fixed end for pumping fluid from said container through said outlet and discharge opening, the improvement comprising said cam and said cam follower having interengaging cam faces for balancing lateral forces therebetween during rotation of said cam relative to said cam follower, said cam and said cam follower having an axis, each of said cam and said cam follower including a first cam face in a first plane intersecting the corresponding axis at a first angle thereto, and a second cam face in a second plane intersecting said first plane at a second angle thereto. 2. The sprayer according to claim 1, wherein said pump and discharge opening are coaxial. 3. The sprayer according to claim 1, wherein said motor has an output shaft rotatable about a motor axis parallel to said pump axis. 4. The sprayer according to claim 1, wherein said first and second angle are different. 5. The sprayer according to claim 4, including a spring biasing said cam follower axially toward said cam. 6. The sprayer according to claim 1, wherein said pump includes a support for axially slidably supporting said cam follower, said support and cam follower having rollers and slots interengaging to restrain relative rotation therebetween. 7. The sprayer according to claim 6, wherein said support includes a cylinder and said rollers and slots include diametrically opposite slots in said cylinder and rollers on said cam follower received in said slots. 8. The sprayer according to claim 1, wherein said first cam face of each said cam and cam follower has a first outer diameter, and said second cam face of each said cam and cam follower has a second outer diameter less than said first diameter. 9. The sprayer according to claim 8, wherein each of said first and second cam faces has an axially outermost and an axially innermost point on the corresponding diameter. 10. The sprayer according to claim 9, wherein the axially outermost points of the first and second cam faces of each said cam and cam follower are in a plane transverse to said axis thereof. 11. The sprayer according to claim 10, wherein the axially outermost points of the first and second cam faces of each said cam and cam follower are diametrically opposed. 12. The sprayer according to claim 11, wherein the axially innermost points of the first and second cam faces of each said cam and cam follower are in a plane transverse to the axis thereof. 13. The sprayer according to claim 12, wherein said pump includes a support for axially slidably supporting said cam follower, said support and cam follower having rollers and slots interengaging to restrain relative rotation therebetween. 14. The sprayer according to claim 13, wherein said support includes a cylinder and said rollers and slots include diametrically opposite slots in said cylinder and rollers on said cam follower received in said slots. 15. The sprayer according to claim 14, including a spring biasing said cam follower axially toward said cam. 16. The sprayer according to claim 8, wherein said pump includes a support for axially slidably supporting said cam follower, said support and cam follower having rollers and slots interengaging to restrain relative rotation therebetween. 17. The sprayer according to claim 16, wherein said support includes a cylinder and said rollers and slots include diametrically opposite slots in said cylinder and rollers on said cam follower received in said slots. 18. The sprayer according to claim 17, including a spring biasing said cam follower axially toward said cam. 19. In a motor operated sprayer for a fluid supply container comprising a discharge opening, a variable volume pump having a pump axis and having axially spaced apart fixed and movable ends, said fixed end being in flow communication with said discharge opening, an inlet for connecting said pump with fluid in a supply container, an outlet for connecting said pump with said discharge opening, an electric motor, a cam rotatably driven by said motor, a cam follower for displacing said movable end of said pump, whereby rotation of said cam axially displaces said movable end toward and away from said fixed end for pumping fluid from said container through said outlet and discharge opening, and said pump and cam follower including an interengaging arrangement designed coaxially slidably supporting said cam follower, the improvement comprising said interengaging arrangement including rollers on one of said pump and cam follower, and slots on the other receiving said rollers. 20. The sprayer according to claim 19, wherein said pump includes a support for said cam follower, said slots being in said support. 21. The sprayer according to claim 20, wherein said cam follower has an axis and said rollers are rotatable about an axis transverse to the axis of the cam follower. 22. The sprayer according to claim 21, wherein the axis of the rollers is spaced from the axis of the cam follower. 23. The sprayer according to claim 20, wherein said support includes a cylinder and said rollers and slots include diametrically opposite slots in said cylinder and rollers on said cam follower received in said slots.
