  • Publication number: 20220160975
    Abstract: A device having a body (10), a reservoir (100) mounted to slide axially relative to the body, a metering valve (200) on the reservoir (100), a blocking element (500), a trigger element (600), an inhalation-controlled trigger system (60) cooperating with the trigger element, an actuating member (800) cooperating with the blocking element, a cover (11) fixed on the body, a push member (810) fastened tot actuating member (800) and mounted to slide axially in the cover, and a spring (850) between the cover and the push member. Before inhalation, the push member is out of contact with the reservoir, such that the force exerted on the push member by the spring is not transmitted to the reservoir, and during inhalation, the push member moves axially with the actuating member so as to come into contact with the reservoir and move it axially in the body to actuate said valve.

  • Patent number: 11318489
    Abstract: A dispenser having a fluid reservoir (1); a dispenser member (2) having a body (21) and an actuator rod (22) movable over a maximum rod stroke; a dispenser orifice (46); a rotary actuator member (4); a transmission member (5) that is engaged both with the dispenser member (2) and also with the rotary actuator member (4); and a cam mechanism (43, 55) for transforming turning of the rotary actuator member (4) into an axial movement of the actuator rod (22) or of the body (21). The cam mechanism (43, 55) defines a maximum cam stroke that is greater than the maximum rod stroke; and a resilient mechanism (56) acts axially to compensate for the extra amount of the maximum cam stroke and thus allow it to be followed so as to guarantee that the rod performs its maximum stroke in full.
