  • the present invention relates to a fluid dispenser member comprising the following components: a body intended to be associated with a container, a dispensing head mounted to move in axial translation relative to the body, said head being displaceable relative to the body on a actuating stroke, said head comprising a pusher comprising a bearing wall defining an outer bearing surface and an inner surface and a side skirt extending from said bearing wall, said lateral skirt having an outer surface and an inner surface, a chamber defined between said body and said head, said chamber being provided with at least one inlet and / or outlet valve, a dispensing orifice through which fluid is dispensed.
  • the present invention also relates to a fluid dispenser incorporating such a dispensing member that can be used in particular in the pharmacy or cosmetics sectors.

  • WO 02/096776 discloses, for example, an embodiment of a dispensing device in which a median tip is integrated with a pusher to act as an inlet valve movable member.
  • actuation of the pusher first causes a contact with a piston which is then displaced in axial translation. This displacement then generates simultaneously closing the inlet valve and opening the outlet valve.
  • the descent of the piston is then at the origin of a reduction in volume of the pump chamber having the effect of expelling the fluid contained in said chamber.
  • the pusher is returned to its initial rest position. The pusher disengages from the piston which remains momentarily immobile.
  • the relative displacement between the piston and the pusher causes the opening of the inlet valve, in order to put the chamber in communication with the container, and the simultaneous closure of the outlet valve to isolate the chamber from the outside.
  • the piston remains stationary until a shoulder of the pusher comes into abutment against a corresponding shoulder of the piston.
  • the piston is then driven in translation and back to its initial position then causing a depression in the chamber at the origin of the suction of the fluid contained in the container.
  • this embodiment as described does not include pre-compression, the opening and closing of the inlet valve and the outlet valve being done simultaneously regardless of any increase in pressure in the chamber. pump.
  • the movements of the piston and the median tip are synchronous only over a short distance from the actuator stroke of the pusher, these two elements requiring to evolve at different axial translation speeds so that the pump described here works correctly. Therefore, the dispensing device that is the subject of this patent has a complex operating principle, thus causing a difficulty of assembly and manufacture of said device as well as a substantially high cost.

  • the axial rod 7 secured to the pusher 4 sinks into the sleeve 23.
  • the sliding of the axial rod 7 in the sleeve 23 causes a closing of the inlet valve 70, 230, the product contained in the container 2 being unable to thus more access to the chamber 6.
  • the descent of the dispensing head is also causing a pressure increase in the chamber 6 having the effect of opening the outlet valve 51, 71.
  • the product fluid initially present in the chamber 6 can be removed from it due to a reduction in volume of said chamber 6.
  • the fluid then passes the open outlet valve and then gains the expulsion space 50 before being routed to a outlet channel 52.
  • the fluid product in the outlet channel 52 then joins the swirl system centered on the dispensing orifice 42. The fluid product is thus expelled. This expulsion can continue until abutment of the lower end of the side skirt 41 against the radial plate 22 synonymous with complete or almost complete evacuation of the product contained in the chamber 6.
  • the return spring 9 automatically raises the dispensing head 3. rising of the dispensing head 3 generates solidly a rise of the piston lip 550 of the sleeve 55 then having the effect of opening the inlet valve 70, 230 and closing the outlet valve 51, 71.
  • the displacement of the piston 550 relative to the body 2 then creates a vacuum at the chamber 6 causing the suction of the product contained in the container.
  • the product gains the plunger tube 231 by passing through the passage 232 and reaches the inlet valve 70, 230 located at the sleeve 23. The product then passes through the longitudinal grooves of the movable inlet valve member 70 to finally reach the chamber 6.
