  • Patent number: 8348102
    Abstract: A fluid product dispensing device has a reservoir containing fluid and dispenser head with a dispensing orifice. The reservoir moves relative to the dispenser head to cause dispensation. The reservoir is moved by a lateral actuator that pivots in relation to the dispenser head which in turn pivots an actuator link that is located in the middle of the lateral actuator which in turn is in contact with the reservoir itself. As the lateral actuator moves, the actuator link pivots and moves the reservoir closer to the dispensing head, which causes dispensation as desired by the user.

  • Patent number: 8167176
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser device a body in which the direction in which an actuating element (5) moves is different from, and in particular perpendicular to, the axial direction in which the piston or the valve member of the dispensing member moves, the actuating element (5) having an end portion provided with the cam surface (6) which co-operates with the reservoir (3) or a fixing ring (8) adapted to fix the dispensing member to the reservoir (3) so that the actuating element (5) being moved substantially radially into its actuating position causes the reservoir (3) to be moved axially relative to the piston or to the valve member of the dispensing member so as to dispense a dose of fluid.

  • Publication number: 20100294807
    Abstract: The invention concerns a fluid product dispensing device including a reservoir containing fluid and a dispenser head provided with a dispenser orifice. The dispenser head is displaceable relative to the reservoir to dispense fluid through the dispenser orifice. The dispenser head is displaced relative to the reservoir by a lateral actuator mechanism that include a manual actuator element mounted to pivot about the dispenser head. The manual actuator element co-operates with the reservoir or with an element secured thereto. The lateral actuator element further includes an actuator member which is pivotally mounted inside the manual actuator element. The actuator member co-operates with the reservoir or with an element secured thereto, so as to displace said reservoir relative to the dispenser head, while the manual actuator element is being actuated by the user.
