  • Patent number: 8978933
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser comprising: a fluid reservoir (1) defining a neck (11) and a bottom wall (12) provided with a filling valve (13, 15); a dispenser member (5), such as a pump, that is mounted on the reservoir (1) so as to take the fluid, the dispenser member (5) including a body (51) and an actuator rod (56) that is movable downwards and upwards along an axis X; a pusher (6, 7) that is mounted on the actuator rod (56) of the dispenser member (5) in such a manner as to turn about the axis X of the rod (56); a vent passage that puts the reservoir (1) into communication with the outside; closure means (3) for selectively closing the vent passage; and control means (4) for urging the closure means (3) into a closed condition, in which they close the vent passage, from an open condition, in which they do not close the vent passage; the dispenser being characterized in that the control means (4) are secured to the pusher (6, 7) or moved by the pusher.

  • Patent number: 8857671
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser device for mounting on a reservoir. The device has a dispenser member with a body and an actuator rod that is axially movable down and up with the body; a fastener ring for fastening the body on an opening of a reservoir; and a dispenser head mounted on the actuator rod. The dispenser head includes a connection sleeve engaged axially on the actuator rod, the head including a radial duct, an orifice formed in an outer casing that surrounds the connection sleeve, defining a substantially annular gap. The fastener ring includes an axial guide for preventing the dispenser head from turning freely, while enabling it to move axially. The dispenser head includes a guide element that co-operates with the guide, the guide element extending radially from the connection sleeve to the outer casing, in the annular the gap.
