  • Patent number: 10335818
    Abstract: A dual dispenser having two pumps and an outlet channel that is fed with the fluids coming from both pumps. The two pumps include respective actuator rods that are movable axially over strokes of different lengths, namely a first actuator rod having a long stroke, and a second actuator rod having a short stroke. The common dispenser head includes a pivot member that forms two bearing elements that are constrained to move together, so as to move both actuator rods simultaneously over an axial height that corresponds to the short stroke, with one bearing element then continuing its movement so as to terminate its long stroke by pivoting and turning the pivot member about the bearing element that is blocked in position as a result of the second actuator rod already being fully depressed.

  • Patent number: 10166564
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser having a fluid reservoir; a dispenser member mounted on the reservoir and that includes an actuator rod; a pusher mounted on the actuator rod; and a covering shell in which an assembly, formed by the reservoir and its dispenser member, is held in removable manner. The pusher is held captive by the covering shell, the pusher is axially movable in the covering shell over a limited stroke defined by a low abutment and a high abutment. A magnetic device acts between the covering shell and the pusher so as to hold the pusher, by magnetic attraction/repulsion, in a determined position that is stationary relative to the covering shell, when the actuator rod is disconnected from the pusher.

  • Patent number: 6601735
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser device includes a dispenser member, such as a pump or a valve, having an actuator rod. A pusher is mounted to turn on and about the actuator rod and is provided with a dispenser orifice. The dispenser is actuated by applying pressure to the pusher. A fastening ring is provided for fastening the dispenser member on a receptacle. The ring has a fastening system for co-operating with a neck of the receptacle. The fastening ring includes at least one internal locking profile, and the pusher includes at least one locking member which can be engaged with the internal profile to prevent the pusher being actuated. The pusher has at least one inner bushing which includes the locking member. The pusher also has an outer skirt concentric with the inner bushing. The inner bushing defines the dispenser orifice. At least a portion of the inner bushing is received in the fastening ring. The pusher skirt is adapted to surround at least a portion of the fastening ring.
