Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a manually operated fluid or powder dispenser device according to claim 1.
  • Fluid or powder dispensing devices in particular for dispensing products from the fields of pharmacy, cosmetics, perfumery or the like, generally comprise a product reservoir, a dispensing member, such as a pump, for dispensing the product contained in the reservoir, and a dispensing head incorporating a dispensing orifice.
  • WO 0103851 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • An actuating system is generally also provided for actuating said pump.
  • a problem that may arise with fluid or powder dispensing devices of this type relates to the period of time between the end of the assembly of the device and the actual use by the user.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device for dispensing fluid or powder that does not reproduce the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention thus aims to provide a device for dispensing fluid or powder that protects the dispensing orifice and simultaneously prevents the actuation of the device at any time during periods of non-use of the device.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a fluid dispenser or powder dispenser that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble, and easy to use.
  • the subject of the present invention is therefore a device for dispensing fluid or powdered product with manual operation, comprising a product reservoir, dispensing means for selectively dispensing the product contained in the reservoir, a dispensing head comprising a dispensing orifice, and an actuating system for manually actuating said dispensing means, the device comprising a captive cover movable between a rest position, in which it covers the dispensing orifice and prevents the actuation of the dispensing means, and a position of use, in which it discovers the dispensing orifice and allows the actuation of the dispensing means, said cover being part of said actuating system, the movement of said cover to its use position actuating said dispensing means.
  • said cover performs two distinct movements to move from its rest position to its use position.
  • said cover performs a radial translation to discover the dispensing orifice, then an axial translation to actuate the dispensing means.
  • said dispensing means are made in the form of a manually operated pump.
  • the fluid or powder dispenser device comprises a product reservoir 10 on which is assembled a dispensing pump 20 itself connected to a dispensing head 30 having a dispensing orifice 31.
  • An actuating system 40 is provided for actuating said pump 20.
  • the device comprises a captive cover 50 which is movable between a rest position, shown in FIG. 1, in which it covers the dispensing orifice. 31 and prevents the actuation of the pump 20, and a position of use, shown in Figure 3, in which it discovers the dispensing orifice 31 and allows the actuation of the pump 20.
  • FIGS 1 to 3 show an advantageous embodiment of the present invention.
  • the cover 50 is part of the actuating system 40, in that the movement of the cover 50 towards its use position causes the pump 20 to be actuated. Therefore, when the cover 50 is in the rest position, it is unable to operate the pump 20, the user must necessarily move said cover 50 to its use position to perform said actuation.
  • the cover 50 can be made in such a way that it moves along two different displacement paths to go from its rest position to its position of use.
  • the example shown shows a cover 50 which performs a radial translation to discover the dispensing orifice 31, as visible in Figures 1 and 2, and an axial translation, under the effect of a push on the hood by the user, to actuate the pump 20.
  • axial displacement of the cover 50 between the position shown in FIG. 2 and that represented in FIG. 3 causes actuation of the actuating system 40, which results in the dispensing of a dose of product. through the dispensing orifice 31.
  • the cap 50 can make different displacements to go from its rest position to its position of use, for example a rotation or a combination of rotation and translation.
  • the cover 50 may comprise elastic return means which bring it back to its rest position after use of the device. Alternatively, it could be envisaged that it is the user himself who manually returns said cover to its rest position.
  • the invention has been described with reference to a device for dispensing fluid or powder product in which the dispensing direction is axial with respect to the central axis of the pump and the reservoir, but it applies equally well to all types of dispensing devices, and in particular those having a dispensing head having a radial distribution direction.
  • the present invention is particularly suitable for fluid or powder dispensing devices comprising a lateral actuation system, it is not limited to this type of system, and applies instead to all types of appropriate actuation systems.

Claims (4)

  1. Von Hand zu betätigende Abgabevorrichtung für ein fluidförmiges oder pulverförmiges Produkt, die einen Behälter (10) für das Produkt, Abgabeeinrichtungen (20) zum wahlweisen Abgeben des im Behälter (10) enthaltenen Produktes, einen Abgabekopf (30), der eine Abgabeöffnung (31) aufweist, und ein Betätigungssystem (40) umfasst, um von Hand die Abgabeeinrichtungen (20) zu betätigen, wobei die Vorrichtung eine unverlierbare Kappe (50) umfasst, die zwischen einer Ruhestellung, in der sie die Abgabeöffnung (31) verdeckt und eine Betätigung der Abgabeeinrichtungen (20) verhindert, und einer Verwendungsstellung verschiebbar ist, in der sie die Abgabeöffnung (31) freigibt und die Betätigung der Abgabeeinrichtungen (20) ermöglicht, wobei diese Kappe (50) einen Teil des Betätigungssystems (40) bildet und die Verschiebung dieser Kappe (50) in ihre Verwendungsstellung die Abgabeeinrichtungen betätigt, wobei die Kappe (50) zwei voneinander verschiedene und unterschiedliche Verschiebungen ausführen kann, um sich aus ihrer Ruhelage zu ihrer Verwendungsstellung hin zu verschieben, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass wenigstens eine dieser beiden Verschiebungen eine Translationsbewegung bezüglich des Behälters ist.
  2. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, bei der die Kappe (50) eine radiale Translation durchführt, um die Abgabeöffnung (31) freizugeben.
  3. Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, bei der die Kappe (50) eine axiale Translationsbewegung ausführt, um die Abgabeeinrichtungen (20) zu betätigen.
  4. Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, bei der die Abgabeeinrichtungen (20) in Form einer von Hand zu betätigenden Pumpe ausgebildet sind.
