  • Patent number: 9352346
    Abstract: A refillable fluid dispenser having a fluid reservoir defining a neck and a bottom walk; a filling valve; a dispenser member, such as a pump; a pusher that is mounted on the dispenser member; and a vent channel that extends along the fluid reservoir and that is made integrally with the fluid reservoir.

  • Patent number: 9302282
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser comprising two reservoirs (R1, R2), two pumps (P1, P2), and two pushers (B1, B2), namely a first pusher (B1) for actuating a first pump (P1) that is connected to a first reservoir (R1) containing a first fluid (F1), and a second pusher (B2) for actuating a second pump (P2) that is connected to a second reservoir (R2) containing a second fluid (F2), the dispenser further comprising a third pusher (B3) for dispensing a mixture of the first and second fluids (F1, F2), the first fluid (F1) being dispensed through a first dispenser orifice (O1), and the second fluid (F2) being dispensed through a second dispenser orifice (O2), the fluid dispenser being characterized in that the mixture of the two fluids (F1, F2) is dispensed through a third dispenser orifice (O3) that is formed by the third pusher (B3).

  • Patent number: 8695852
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser head including a fluid dispenser member; a dispenser endpiece that is connected to a nozzle via a duct; a pusher that is manually and axially movable down and up so as to move the dispenser endpiece in such a manner as to dispense fluid; and a rotary control hoop for moving the pusher axially between a storage position and an actuatable position. The head further includes axial guide for guiding the pusher axially without turning about its own axis; and rotary cam that is turned by the control hoop, the pusher being in engagement with the cam so as to urge the pusher in axial movement, without any turning component.

  • Publication number: 20120223104
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser including a fluid reservoir including a neck with a constricted opening that communicates with an inside volume; and a dispenser member including a fluid inlet that is provided with a dip tube, the dip tube provided with a substantially-plane flexible sheet having shape memory. The sheet presents a transverse dimension, in the direction that is perpendicular to the dip tube, that is greater than the dimension of the constricted opening, such that the sheet must be caused to take up a deformed configuration in order to pass through the neck, and must then relax into a substantially-plane rest configuration inside the inside volume. The sheet presents a bottom edge having a portion that, in the rest configuration, penetrates into the constricted opening to initiate the deformation of the sheet, so as to bring it subsequently into its deformed configuration.

  • Patent number: 7874465
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser head for mounting on a fluid reservoir (1), the head having a fluid dispenser member (2), such as a pump or a valve, having a body (20) that is mounted in stationary manner relative to the reservoir (1), and a valve rod (21) that is axially displaceable down and up; a pushbutton (5, 7) that is axially displaceable down and up, driving the valve rod (21); and a dispenser orifice (60) that is connected to the valve rod. The dispenser head has an actuator mechanism (4) for driving the pushbutton in axial displacement relative to the valve rod (21).

  • Patent number: 7857174
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser having: a fluid reservoir, a fluid dispenser member having actuator rod (23) that is displaceable down and up along an axis X, a pusher (4; 4; 4?) that displaces the actuator rod (23), a dispenser endpiece (50) defining a dispenser orifice (51), and a displacement mechanism (6, 4; 6?, 7; 6?, 7, 4?) that displaces the endpiece (50) both in turning about the axis X and in radial translation, the radial distance between the endpiece and the axis X varying as the endpiece turns about the axis X, such that the endpiece is displaceable between an extended position remote from the axis X and a retracted position close to the axis X.
