Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for dispensing a fluid product, and more particularly to a device for nasal spraying of a pharmaceutical product.
  • Fluid dispenser devices are well known in the state of the art. They generally comprise a reservoir containing the fluid product on which is assembled a dispensing member, for example a pump or a valve, which is generally actuated by means of a dispensing head to selectively dispense the product contained inside of said reservoir.
  • the dispensing head includes a dispensing orifice through which the product will be sprayed, for example into the user's nose in the case of a nasal spray device.
  • Many devices of this type are actuated manually by the user by moving the reservoir and the dispensing head axially against each other, which has the effect of actuating the dispensing member.
  • lateral actuation devices generally comprising a lever pivotally mounted on a body and of which an internal part is adapted to cooperate with one of the dispensing head or the reservoir to move this element against the other and thus actuating the dispensing member.
  • These devices are however generally quite complex, and comprise a large number of component parts, which makes the manufacture and assembly relatively expensive.
  • the interface between the lateral actuation system and the dispensing member for transferring the radial displacement of the actuation system in axial displacement of the dispensing member, to perform the actuation is often complex and a source of malfunctions.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a fluid dispenser device which does not reproduce the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a device for dispensing a fluid product, in particular a nasal spray, which guarantees safe and reliable actuation of the device on each actuation, without risk of injury to the user.
  • the present invention aims to provide a fluid dispenser device that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a fluid dispenser device according to claim 1, comprising a body, a reservoir, in particular made of glass, said reservoir comprising a neck, a dispenser member, such as a pump or a valve, mounted on said reservoir, a lateral actuation system secured to said body, said lateral actuation system comprising a lever pivotally mounted on said body, said device comprising at least one transverse projection formed directly on said reservoir, said at least one transverse projection being formed on or under said neck of the tank and cooperating during actuation with said lateral actuation system, in particular with said lever, said tank comprising on each side two parallel transverse projections extending symmetrically, a radial recess being defined of each of said reservoir between said two parallel transverse projections, said radial recess cooperating with said body to provide axial guidance of said tank during actuation.
  • each transverse projection has a rounded surface cooperating with said lateral actuation system, in particular with said lever.
  • said at least one transverse projection is molded with said tank.
  • said dispensing member is a pump comprising a piston sliding in a pump body.
  • the fluid dispenser device shown in the figures 1 and 2 comprises a body 10 which advantageously incorporates a dispensing orifice 5.
  • the dispensing orifice can be formed in a dispensing head assembled and fixed to said body.
  • a reservoir 20 containing a fluid product to be dispensed.
  • the unit formed by the reservoir 20 and the dispensing member 30 is able to move axially inside the body 10 during actuation to dispense a dose of product through the dispensing orifice 5.
  • the dispensing member 30 is advantageously a pump comprising a piston sliding in a pump body.
  • the structure of such a dispensing member is well known and is therefore not shown in more detail in the figures, in particular for purposes of clarity.
  • the body 10 comprises a lateral actuation system 40.
  • This comprises a lever 42 pivotally mounted on the body 10 about a pivot axis P, said lever 42 cooperating during the actuation with the unit formed by the reservoir 20 and the dispensing member 30.
  • the lateral actuation system 40 cooperates with at least one transverse projection 25 formed directly on the tank 20, on or under the neck 21 of the tank, for example during the molding of said tank 20.
  • At least one transverse projection 25 cooperates directly with a cam surface 43 of said lever 42.
  • a movable element could be provided, pivotally mounted inside said lever 42, and which could cooperate with at least one transverse projection 25 of the tank 20.
  • said reservoir 20 comprises two parallel transverse projections 25 which extend symmetrically respectively on each side of said reservoir 20.
  • This implementation makes it possible to offset said transverse projections on either side of the longitudinal axis A, thus on the one hand reducing the dimensions of said lever 42 and on the other hand avoiding having to orient the tank 20 during assembly.
  • Another advantage of this implementation is that it allows axial guidance of the tank 20 during its movement, using the radial recess 24 defined between the two parallel transverse projections 25. This guidance can in particular be achieved by a suitable profile provided in body 10.
  • the transverse projections 25 are arranged on the neck 21 of the tank 20.
  • projections transverse 25 are arranged just under said neck 21, in the right position of the figures.
  • the tank 20 is made of glass, so that each transverse projection 25, also of glass, has a favorable coefficient of friction in contact with the lateral actuation system 40, in particular the lever 42. This avoids having to silicone said at least one transverse projection 25, as is generally necessary in the event of friction of a plastic part on another plastic part.
  • each transverse projection 25 has a rounded contact surface cooperating with the cam surface 43 of the lever 42.
  • the present invention therefore not only makes it possible to reduce the number of components, by eliminating at least the attached ring provided to cooperate with the lateral actuation system, but also to simplify the assembly process, by eliminating the necessary siliconizing step. with such an attached ring.
