Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser device (such as, for example US Patent 6401987 ), and more particularly such a device comprising means for preventing an accidental or undesirable actuation before the first use of the device.
  • a fluid dispenser device such as, for example US Patent 6401987
  • the present invention aims to provide a fluid dispensing device that does not reproduce the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention aims to provide a fluid dispenser device that prevents accidental or undesirable actuation before the first actuation by the user, without requiring the use of an additional piece for this purpose.
  • the present invention also provides a child safety by preventing the actuation of the device by a child.
  • the present invention also aims to provide such a device that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble, while being particularly safe and reliable use.
  • the subject of the present invention is therefore a device for dispensing a fluid product, comprising a dispensing orifice, a reservoir containing at least one dose of fluid, at least one piston sliding axially in said reservoir for dispensing said fluid product, a dispensing member. distribution cooperating with said piston, and an actuating element cooperating with said dispensing member, said dispensing member being movable between a locking position preventing the actuation of said actuating element, and a release position, in which the actuation of said actuating member moves said dispensing member to dispense a dose of fluid, said dispensing member being manually moved from its locking position to its release position prior to actuation of said device.
  • said dispensing member is axially displaceable and said actuating element is a lateral actuating element moving in a direction approximately perpendicular to the direction of axial displacement of said dispensing member.
  • said dispenser member slides axially between said locking position, in which it is disposed away from said piston, and said release position, in which it is disposed in contact with said piston.
  • said device comprises a body comprising said dispensing orifice on one side, and a bottom wall on the other side, said dispensing member protruding out of said bottom wall in the locking position.
  • said dispenser member comprises at least one engaging means cooperating with said actuating element during its actuation.
  • said dispensing member comprises two gripping means offset axially, the first engagement means cooperating with the element actuator for dispensing a first dose of fluid, and the second engaging means cooperating with the actuating member for dispensing a second dose of fluid.
  • a gripping means comprises a projection cooperating with a cam surface of said actuating element.
  • said at least one engaging means cooperates with the actuating element to prevent its actuation.
  • a fluid dispenser device generally comprises a body 1 incorporating a dispensing orifice 5.
  • a fluid reservoir 10 is disposed in said body and is connected to said dispensing orifice 5.
  • product Fluid means any type of liquid product, gaseous, pasty or powder, depending on the desired use of the device.
  • the invention applies more particularly to so-called devices single-dose or bidose, in which the reservoir contains a dose or two half-doses of fluid.
  • a piston 15 slides axially in said reservoir 10 to dispense the one or more doses of fluid product in one or two actuation of the device.
  • a dispensing member 20 which cooperates with said piston 15, said dispensing member 20 itself being displaced by means of an actuating element 30. that the user operates.
  • the user moves the actuating element 30, which causes a displacement of the dispensing member 20 which, cooperating with the piston 15, displaces the latter inside the reservoir 10, which causes the expulsion of a dose of product through the dispensing orifice 5.
  • the reservoir 10 is formed by a hollow tube closed on one side by the piston 15 and on the other side by a sealing plug 11, an opening system of said plug 11 being provided, this system of opening may include a needle 19 to pierce the plug 11 during the first actuation of the device.
  • the needle 19 is fixed relative to the body 1 and the dispensing orifice 5, and it is the plug 11 which, under the effect of the pressure created inside the reservoir 10 by the displacement of the piston 15, moves towards the needle to be pierced by it.
  • the present invention is not limited to a device as shown in the drawings, which represents only one advantageous embodiment to which the present invention applies.
  • the dispenser member 20 is movable between a locking position, shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and a release position shown. in FIGS. 4 to 6.
  • the dispensing member 20 In the blocking position, the dispensing member 20 prevents movement, and therefore actuation of the actuating element 30.
  • the release position the user can move the element actuation to cause dispensing of a dose of product as described above. It is the user who manually moves the dispensing member 20 from its locking position to its release position before actuating the device.
  • the present invention therefore makes it possible to provide means for blocking the actuation of the device which do not require any additional part, since it is the dispensing member 20 itself which serves as a locking element.
  • the present invention thus makes it possible to save one or more pieces to produce a locking system, which therefore has advantages in terms of manufacturing and assembly costs of the device. This is all the more important that the device according to the invention can be of the disposable type.
  • the dispensing member 20 is axially displaceable, i.e. in the same direction as the movement of the piston 15 in the reservoir 10, while the actuating element 30 is a lateral actuating element which moves in a direction approximately perpendicular to the direction of axial displacement of said dispensing member 20.
  • the present invention therefore provides a clever and economical locking system for a device that may comprise a component of lateral actuation.
  • the dispensing member 20 is mounted to slide axially between its locking position and its release position, said dispensing member 20 being disposed away from the piston 15 in the locking position, as can be seen in FIG. in contact with said piston 15 when it is moved towards its release position, as can be seen in FIG. 4.
  • This implementation is an additional security, since it avoids any risk of accidental displacement of the piston 15, for example during transport, even if said dispensing member 20 was to be slightly moved out of its blocking position.
  • the body 1 may comprise a bottom wall 2 on the opposite side to the dispensing orifice 5, said bottom wall having an opening through which an end of said dispensing member 20 protrudes in the locking position.
  • a bottom wall 2 on the opposite side to the dispensing orifice 5, said bottom wall having an opening through which an end of said dispensing member 20 protrudes in the locking position.
  • This implementation ensures in particular that it is impossible to move the dispensing member beyond its release position, which could cause an undesirable displacement of the piston 15 in the reservoir and therefore a partial product distribution. From the moment, when the end of the dispensing member 20 no longer protrudes from the bottom wall 2, the user can no longer move the dispensing member 20, and this risk is eliminated.
  • the dispensing member advantageously comprises at least one gripping means 25 which cooperates with said lateral actuating element during its actuation.
  • the dispensing member has only one means of setting 25.
  • the contents of the reservoir 10 must be separated into two doses successively distributed during two successive actuations of the device.
  • the dispensing member 20 preferably comprises two engagement means 25 and 26 offset axially, the first engagement means 25 cooperating with the actuating element 30 to dispense the first dose of product, and the second means engaging member 26 cooperating with the actuating member 30 to dispense the second dose of product.
  • these means each may comprise a projection which cooperates with a cam surface 31 of said actuating element 30.
  • the actuating element 30 is pivotally mounted on the body 1 and the cam surface 31 can slide under said projection 25 or 26, in the release position of the dispenser member. Pivoting of the lateral actuating element 30 then causes an axial upward displacement of said dispensing member 20 to dispense a dose of product.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 show the first gripping means , in this case the projection 25, which cooperates with the end of the cam surface 31 of the lateral actuating element 30 to prevent any displacement thereof.
  • the present invention therefore advantageously uses the dispensing means of the device to achieve locking in the actuating element before the first use of the device. No additional parts are needed, and the various components of the actuating system are neither modified nor made more complicated to allow this blocking.
  • the example shown in the figures is not limiting, and other engagement means could be envisaged.
  • the dispensing member 20 could comprise, in place of the projections, openings in which the cam surface 31 of the lateral actuating element 30 could penetrate in order to cause a displacement of said dispensing member.
  • Other variants are obviously also possible.
  • the present invention thus provides a simple and inexpensive way a reliable and effective system to prevent undesired or accidental actuation of the device, it is brought manually by the user in a position allowing its use at the desired time.
