  • Patent number: 11820546
    Abstract: The device (100) for packaging and dispensing a product, liquid or in gel form, optionally for an ophthalmic application, comprises a container (1) containing the product to be dispensed by a dispensing head (7), as well as a refilling and filtering assembly for the air entering the container (1) after a dispensing, the dispensing head delimiting one or more dosing chambers (5) and including at its end a flexible part (7) which can be actuated to allow the release of the dose of product in a compressed state of said chamber (5). The air refilling and filtering assembly has a sterilizing filter (11) which cooperates with a check valve (12), this assembly (11, 12) being typically located in a central or inner portion of the head (7). The supply of outside air is accomplished by means of a channel (16) leading to an outer orifice (10) able to be obturated by a cover (15).

  • Patent number: 11365031
    Abstract: The device for packaging and dispensing a product comprises a container (1) intended to contain in a sterile manner the product to be packaged and dispensed in the form of calibrated doses or drops by means of a dispensing accessory equipped with a mouthpiece (4) of the type having a flexible part (5), said accessory forming a dosing chamber (7) for the dispensing of the calibrated drop. An outer wall (8) of the mouthpiece delimits a space (18) equipped with one or more openings (19), the end of said mouthpiece (4) including a central channel (13) allowing the dispensing of the calibrated drop, associated with one or more lateral channels (11) leading into the space (18). A cover (14) equipped with an inner skirt (15), in the mounted state, creates an overpressure so as to eliminate any residual drop (10) which can subsist in the mouthpiece (4) at the end. Application to the dispensing of doses of sterile products, particularly of drops in ophthalmology.

  • Patent number: 9004317
    Abstract: A device for packaging and dispensing a flowable product comprises a casing comprising a nozzle for dispensing the product and a container designed to contain the product to be packaged. The casing comprises a rigid bottom, an air renewal and filtration assembly, a filter element, and an air inlet passage located in said rigid bottom. The nozzle comprises a tapered portion that defines a free end of the nozzle, an actuating portion resiliently movable between an engagement position and a rest position. A dose-defining chamber may be isolated from the air contained in the container and may have a determined volume in the rest position. The engagement position may be obtained by engaging the actuating portion against a stationary wall portion, so as to empty the chamber and expel a dose exactly corresponding to the determined volume of the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20080302828
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for packaging and dispensing a liquid, semi-fluid or suspended product, comprising a container which houses the product to be dispensed through a nozzle, as well as a unit for changing and filtering the air entering the container following the dispensing of the product. According to the invention, the assembly formed by the container and the nozzle with which said container is equipped comprises at least: one flexible part which, when actuated, causes the product to be discharged; and a first valve which is associated with the nozzle in older to enable the discharge of the product when the flexible part is actuated, but without allowing the ingress of external air when said flexible part is released.

  • Patent number: 4809888
    Abstract: A metering valve adapted to be mounted on a container for delivering a liquid under pressure contained in the container, of the type comprising a metering head with an elastic membrane, an end-sleeve, a valve body and a piston sliding in the valve body and formed with a blind central bore and a radial throughgoing hole opening into the central bore. The valve body is made of two portions, a lower portion positioned to be located inside the container when the valve is mounted on the container and an upper portion applied on the lower portion positioned to be inside the container, but extending outside the container on a major portion thereof when the valve is so mounted. The upper portion of the valve body is formed with a bore in which slides a piston limited upwardly by a shoulder forming an abutment for the piston. The piston is formed with an outer annular groove in its central portion surrounded by two O-rings. The radial throughgoing hole of the piston opens into the annular groove.
