  • Patent number: 11027896
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing device including a deformable chamber having an interior volume arranged to contain a fluid, and a dispensing valve for opening and closing an outlet in fluid communication with the interior volume of the deformable chamber. The dispensing valve includes a pin and a movable member. The pin has and end which, in the closed state of the dispensing valve, closes the outlet of the chamber and in the open state of the dispensing valve, deviates from the outlet of the chamber, the movable member being arranged to move under the effect of a decrease of the interior volume of the chamber or an overpressure from the fluid in the interior volume of the chamber above a certain threshold so as to move the pin away from the outlet of the chamber so as to move the dispensing valve from its closed state to its open state.

  • Patent number: 10695782
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for dispensing a fluid including: a tank arranged so as to contain the fluid; a dispensing pipe arranged so as to guide the fluid in a dispensing direction; a dispensing opening connecting the tank to the dispensing pipe; a dispensing valve which, in an open state, allows fluid to pass from the inside of the tank to the dispensing pipe via the dispensing opening and, in a closed state, does not allow fluid to pass from the inside of the tank to the dispensing pipe; and a return means arranged so as to exert a force on the dispensing valve. Said force moves the dispensing valve from the open state thereof to the closed state thereof. The return means includes a pouch forming a cavity. Said pouch is located in the dispensing pipe. The shape of the pouch is changed via compression when the dispensing valve is in the open state.
