Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dose indicator, as well as to a fluid dispenser device having such an indicator.
  • Indicators or dose counters are well known for fluid dispensing devices, and in particular dispensers for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics or the field of perfumery. Such a dose counter is described in the document DE 10061723 . They can be associated with pump devices or valve devices, in which the product is dispensed by means of a propellant. An important requirement, especially for drug distributors, is to avoid any risk of under-counting. To do this, it is necessary to count the dose distribution at the start of the actuating stroke of the pump or the valve, in particular to avoid that, in the case of partial actuation, a dose, even if partially dispensed, is not not counted by the meter.
  • Another requirement is to make a counter with a minimum of component parts, which makes the manufacture and assembly of it less complicated and therefore less expensive, and which reduces the risk of malfunction of the meter.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dose indicator which makes it possible to count the dose at the beginning of the actuating stroke of the pump or of the valve of the device, while being of reliable operation.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a dose indicator which comprises a minimum of component parts.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a dose indicator that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
  • the present invention also aims to provide a dose indicator that can count a large number of doses.

  • said at least one actuating member is an actuating groove and said at least one complementary actuating member is an actuating projection.
  • said drive means of the actuator comprise a flexible tab supporting a driving projection cooperating with the teeth of the toothing of the indication element.
  • said flexible tab comprises a first flexible tab portion and a second flexible tab portion, the first flexible tab portion supporting the drive projection and the second flexible tab portion connecting said first flexible tab to said actuator.
  • the angle of rotation of the actuator is greater than the angle defined by a tooth of the toothing of the indicating element, the body comprising stop means for blocking the rotation of the indicating member after rotation on a tooth of the toothing, the additional rotation of the actuator being compensated by a bending of the second flexible tab portion of the drive means.
  • said body comprises an at least partially cylindrical wall portion disposed between said actuator and said element. indicating, said wall portion having a cutout forming a passage for the driving means of the actuator towards the toothing of the indicating element.

  • the guide means 22 could be arranged in the covering element 3 and the complementary guide means 23 on the indication element 2.
  • the guide groove 22 is advantageously helical, and advantageously has several turns around it.
  • the element of indication 2 which allows the indicator to count a number of doses greater than the number of teeth provided in the toothing 21 of the indication element 2.
  • the element of indication 2 thus comprises sixty teeth and the guide groove 22, which in the example of the figure 6 makes two rounds, so allows to count one hundred twenty doses.
  • this groove guide 22 is not necessarily helical, but could be made by parallel circular parts connected to each other by oblique ramps. Fractions of circular and / or oblique towers interconnected could be provided.
  • the indication element 2 thus moves in rotation and possibly in translation with respect to said covering element 3 as the projection 23 slides in the groove 22.
  • the actuating means 7 may be integral with an insert 5 which is inserted inside the head 6. This insert 5 serves in particular to limit the dead volume of the expulsion channel for the product and to form a spray spray at the dispensing orifice.
  • the actuating means 7 could be made on a fixed part of the head 6 or on another reported part.
  • the actuating groove 8 advantageously comprises a rectilinear initial part which allows the assembly of the device, then an oblique part which allows the counting of the dose, and finally again a part rectilinear which allows to continue the actuation stroke of the device.
  • the actuating means 7 are formed on an insert 5, advantageously positioning fins 9 cooperating with corresponding positioning grooves 10 in the head 6 to prevent rotation of said insert 5 relative to the head 6.

  • the helical actuating grooves or at least partially oblique 8 cause a rotation of the actuator 1 by means of actuating projections 17 which slide in said actuating grooves 8 during actuation of the device.
  • the actuating grooves 8 are made in such a way as to cause a rotation greater than that corresponding to the angle formed by a tooth of the toothing 21
  • the toothing comprises sixty teeth, so that each tooth defines an angle of six degrees.
  • the actuator 1 performs a rotation greater than these six degrees, for example nine degrees over the entire actuating stroke. This over-rotation makes it possible to compensate for possible manufacturing tolerances and guarantees a count each time it is actuated.
  • means are provided for blocking the rotation of the indication element 2 after the rotation of a tooth, that is to say of six degrees.
  • this flexible tab 15 may comprise a first flexible tab portion 15a and a second flexible tab portion 15b .

  • the drive projection 14 can slide against the teeth of the toothing 21 by bending the first portion of the flexible tab 15a. As explained above, there is no risk that the indication element is rotated by this operation, thanks to the non-return means provided on the body 4.
  • resilient means 18 are provided for biasing the actuator 1 towards its rest position when the actuating means 7 return to the rest position. More precisely, these elastic means 18 urge the actuator 1 to abut against the fixing ring 19, and thus prevents the actuator 1 from being displaced axially with the actuating means 7 when they are moving back to their rest position for example by friction.
  • These elastic means 18 can be made in any way, but advantageously the examples shown show two resilient blades 18 integral with the actuator 1 which are elastically deformed during actuation of the device. Of course, separate elastic means of the actuator could be envisaged.
  • the figures 2 , 4 and 8 describe elements of a second embodiment of the invention, wherein the dispensing head 6 is not nasal but oral, and for which the dispensing member 200 may be a valve rather than a pump.
  • the indicator operates in a very similar manner to that described above, and the difference lies in the fact that the head 6 has no insert 5, the actuating means 7 being made directly in said head 6, as visible on the figure 4 .
  • the covering element 3 has lateral fins enabling it to be attached to the oral distribution head 6 as visible on the figure 2 .
  • the shape and the length of the actuating members 8 and / or the complementary actuating members 17 provided in the actuating means 7 can be modified to adapt the device to different pump or valve strokes and / or to compensate for the overall tolerances of the system.
  • the one or more actuating grooves 8 could be replaced by one or more corresponding ribs cooperating with complementary complementary actuating means 17.
  • the guide groove or grooves 22 could be replaced by one or more corresponding ribs, cooperating with appropriate complementary guide means 23.
  • the actuating members 8 may also be formed on a sleeve that could be separated from the insert 5 even when using such an insert.
  • This sleeve could be a part of the head 6 or a separate component.
  • the maximum number of doses that the system can count may also vary simply by adapting the number of teeth of the toothing 21 and / or the turns or fractional turns of the guide means 22 of the indication element 2.
  • the shape of said guiding means 22 and / or complementary guiding means 23 may be any provided that it allows radial and / or vertical guidance of the indicating element 2 with respect to the covering element 3.
