Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a nasal product spray device fluid according to the preamble of claim 1, and more particularly a device of the bidose type, that is to say comprising two half-doses to be distributed successively.
  • Bidose-type dispensing devices are well known. US 5,501,373 discloses such a device for distribution corresponding to the preamble of claim 1. They find their application especially in the nasal distribution of drug, and in particular of vaccine.
  • two elements are generally provided, one supporting a tank and the other supporting the piston. When compressed axially one towards the other, the first half dose is ejected through the dispensing orifice in the nostril.
  • breakable material bridges In order to guarantee the total distribution of each half-dose, and particular to avoid partial distribution and to favor a distribution finely pulverized, it is possible to provide means for accumulating energy, these means generally comprising breakable material bridges.
  • this type of means of energy storage which is known in the state of the art, is unreliable because the bridges of material can break during the transport of the device, ie before use. Similarly, they do not allow guarantee a reliable and constant energy accumulation, breaking thresholds said breakable bridges may vary due to different parameters, and especially because of manufacturing tolerances. Moreover, it is difficult to predetermine the force required to break these bridges of matter, and therefore the force actuation required to operate the device.
  • the present invention aims to provide a dispensing device of fluid, in particular of the bidose type, which does not reproduce the disadvantages mentioned above.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device for fluid dispensing of the bidose type which is simple and reliable to use, and which ensures a finely pulverized distribution of the whole of each half-dose each time the device is actuated.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a device for distribution of fluid product of the bidose type which does not involve any manipulation between the half-dose distributions, which are performed by two successive actuations of said device
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a device for distribution of fluid product of the bidose type, in which the force required to operating the device is easily predeterminable.
  • the subject of the present invention is therefore a nasal spray device of fluid product having a body, a product reservoir containing two half-doses of product, a dispensing orifice and dispensing means to respectively distribute a half-dose of product with each actuation distribution means, said distribution means being made of such so that the two half-doses of product can be distributed in two successive actuations of the distribution means, said two actuations successive steps that can be performed with one hand by the user of the device, the nasal spray device having energy storage means adapted to accumulate energy in the user's hand, said energy being released suddenly from a predetermined force exerted by the hand of the user on said distribution means, thus ensuring the total distribution of each respective half-dose, the means of distribution having a dispensing member, such as a piston, sliding in said tank to dispense the product, and dose splitting means for dispensing a half dose of product at each actuation, characterized in that the dispensing means further comprise a movable actuating element between a rest position and an actu
  • the means for splitting doses are solidary said distribution member, and are formed by a first projection cooperating with the actuating element during the first actuation for distribute the first half-dose of product, and a second projection adapted to deviate during the distribution of the first half-dose of product, second pair of projections cooperating with said actuating element after distribution of the first half-dose, to distribute the second half-dose the next operation of the device.
  • said dose splitting means cooperate with said actuating element to return it to its rest position after the distribution of the first half-dose.
  • said actuating element comprises a surface of cam cooperating with said dispensing member, preferably by via said fractionating means.
  • said energy storage means are free from breakable material bridges.
  • said energy storage means comprise an elastically deformable element that deforms when subjected to said predetermined force.
  • said energy storage means comprise an elastically deformable tab provided on one of two elements moving relative to each other when actuating the device, said elastic tab cooperating with the other of said two elements moving one by relation to the other to prevent this displacement until the application of a force predetermined to deform said elastic tab.
  • said means of energy accumulation are provided between said actuating element and said body of the device.
  • said accumulation means of energy are provided between said dispensing member and the body of the device.
  • said means of energy accumulation are provided between said actuating element and said distribution organ.
  • the product dispensing device fluid shown comprises a body 1 in which a reservoir of product 3 which contains two half-doses of product.
  • a dispensing orifice 30 is provided for dispensing said two half-doses of product.
  • the dispensing orifice 30 is part of a nasal dispensing head 2, so that the two half-doses are respectively distributed in each nostril of the user.
  • a dispensing member, such as a piston 8 slides inside the reservoir 3, said dispensing member 8 being moved by an element actuator 5 on which the user exerts a force to move said dispensing member 8.
  • Dose splitting means 7, 12 are intended to separate the dose of product contained in the reservoir in two half-doses, a first half-dose being distributed at the first actuation of the device and a second half-dose being distributed at the second actuation of the
  • these splitting means doses can be made in the form of projections or spurs, for example example made in pairs, a first pair of projections 7 cooperating with the actuating element 5 to dispense the first half-dose, and a second pair of projections 12 cooperating with the element actuator 5 to dispense the second half dose.
  • said second pair of projections 12 can be made elastically deformable, so that said second pair of projections 12 departs at moment of actuation of the distribution of the first half-dose, leaving passing said first pair of projections 7. Then, said second pair of projections 12 comes to be placed in the original position originally held by the first pair of projections 7 for a second actuation for the distribution of the second half-dose.
  • the element actuator 5 is returned to its rest position automatically between the two operations so that the user only has to press twice successively on the actuating element 5 to distribute the two half-doses, without having to manipulate the device and without using his second hand. Good other means of dose splitting and other means actuating the piston 8 are possible.
  • the actuating element 5 is a lateral actuating element, which moves in a direction approximately transverse to the direction of movement of the piston 8. More particularly, in the example shown in the single figure, the actuating element 5 is pivotally mounted on the body 1 by means of a hinge 20, and comprises a cam surface 6 which cooperates respectively with the first pair of projections 7 for the distribution of the first half-dose and with the second pair of projections 12 for the distribution of the second half-dose.
  • said first and second pair of projections extend through a groove 9 provided for this purpose which allows the cooperation between the actuating means 5 and said projection pairs.
  • the device further comprises means of energy accumulation that are suitable for accumulating energy in the hand of the user before allowing the distribution of each half-dose. More precisely, the energy accumulated in the user's hand is released abruptly from a predetermined force, said predetermined force exerted by the user on the actuating element 5 overcoming by therefore said energy storage means and thus ensuring the total distribution of each respective half-dose by providing a boost abrupt and rapid on the dispensing member 8.
  • the means of energy accumulation comprise a leg elastically deformable 50, at the end of which is provided advantageously a lug 51, said lug 50 cooperating with a portion 55 of the body 1 so that said leg deforms only when it is subjected to the predetermined force exerted on the actuating element 5.
  • these energy storage means can be made of a different way, but it is preferred that these means of energy accumulation do not have bridges of breakable material.
  • the accumulation means of the present invention are intended to be arranged between two elements of the device moving relative to each other.
  • the accumulation means of energy are arranged between the actuating element 5 and the body 1.
  • these means of energy storage can be realized differently, by example by means of bosses that can be overcome or deformed elastically by said predetermined force exerted on the element actuator 5.
  • the present invention by its combination of characteristics consisting of provide a system operable laterally with one hand on the one hand, and providing means for storing energy on the other hand in said hand which operates the device, guarantees a reliable and total distribution of each half-dose in each nostril of the user, ensuring the impossibility of accidentally distribute the two half-doses in the same nostril, the device of the invention being simple to manufacture, assemble and use, while guaranteeing total reliability.
