Abstract: A method is provided for the re-filling with product of a travel dispenser (10) which has two assemblies (12, 14) which are connected together mechanically for dispensing the product. A first assembly (12) includes a bottle (10) of the product, a venting passage which is able to be opened to connect the interior and the exterior of the bottle and a pump (22) mounted on the bottle which is able to assume an upper rest position in which the passage is closed and a lower position in which the passage is open. A second assembly (14) includes a product dispensing device (16). The method includes blocking of the pump (22) in the lower position, and disengagement of the two assemblies (12, 14) from one another in order to allow the bottle (10) to be re-filled with product through the open venting passage of the first assembly (12) in re-fill mode.

Abstract: A Fragrance diffusion system is provided having a diffusion device which has two opposing walls spaced apart from one another, at least one wick, and at least one air intake. An upper first bottle has a first neck the opening of which is positioned facing one of the two opposing walls referred to as the upper wall, a lower second bottle having a second neck the opening of which is positioned facing the other wall referred to as the lower wall. The upper first bottle has the fragrance which, by impregnating the wick, on the one hand causes the fragrance to diffuse into the cavity and to outside of the device via said at least one opening, and on the other hand causes dripping drop by drop into the lower second bottle. The lower second bottle having a capacity which is dimensioned so that the level of the liquid transferred into said lower second bottle is situated below a lower end of the wick.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cage (100) for housing laboratory animals, typically rodents, and in particular to an individually ventilated cage (WC). The housing cage (100) according to the present invention allows to optimize the density of cages on a shelving rack, in terms of rows of cages, while complying with dimensional constraints in terms of minimum surface of the base which can be treaded on by the animals and minimum inner height of the cage. Furthermore, the cage according to the present invention comprises environmental enrichment devices (14) for the animals integrated in the base (11).

Abstract: The invention concerns a system for refilling a bottle with liquid, which comprises: a first bottle (S) containing liquid, a second bottle (R) to be refilled with the liquid from the first bottle (S), the second bottle being in an inverted position and comprising a pump mounted on the bottle and equipped with a vent orifice that can be open or closed depending on the position of the pump, a filling interface connecting the two bottles, the interface comprising a liquid passage disposed between the two bottles for the transfer of the liquid under pressure from the first bottle (S) to the inverted second bottle (R) via said vent orifice of the pump of the second bottle when open and a gas passage for the evacuation of gas contained in the inverted second bottle (R) to the exterior of the bottle.

Abstract: A method is provided for extracting liquid from a liquid dispenser The dispenser includes a liquid container and, connected to the container, a liquid dispensing device is able to take up liquid from the container and convey it along a path as far as at least one liquid outlet so as to dispense this liquid to the outside. The method includes a step of injecting a volume of extraction gas under pressure into the container so as to apply pressure to the liquid of the container in order to cause it to flow along at least part of the device and allow a predetermined quantity of liquid to be extracted from the dispenser.

Abstract: Device for recharging a bottle with liquid, includes: a refill containing the liquid, and a decanting system, adapted selectively to pass the liquid from the refill to the bottle, the decanting system including: a first part fixed to the refill and having a first liquid passage and a first air passage in communication with the refill; a second part connected to the first part, and intended to be fixed to the bottle, the second part including a second liquid passage and a second air passage intended to communicate with the bottle, the first and the second parts structured to move together in translation and free to rotate between an open configuration, in which the first and second liquid and air passages are aligned, providing passage of liquid and air between the refill and the bottle, and a closed configuration, in which they are not aligned, preventing liquid and air passage.

Abstract: Filling device (1, 101) including a reservoir (3, 103) intended to contain liquid, a valve (4, 104) connected to the reservoir and a spout (20, 120), in which the valve has a shutter (10, 110) and a shutter seat (11), a flow circuit having a liquid inlet adjacent to the shutter seat and a liquid outlet adjacent to the spout, the liquid outlet being located lower than the liquid inlet, and an air intake circuit separate from the flow circuit, in which a pushrod (22, 122) has an upper end adjacent to the shutter. The pushrod includes a first duct (27) and a second duct (28), the air inlet circuit including the first duct, the flow circuit including the second duct.

Abstract: A fluid product dispensing device comprising a reservoir (B), a pump (P) including two pump elements adapted to slide relative to each other in a longitudinal direction and an outer casing (R) provided with a nozzle (10) dispensing the product and an actuator for expelling a dose of product through the nozzle each time an action is exerted by the user of the actuator which comprises a pressing element (7, 8) accessible from outside the casing (R) and a force returning member, the pressing member being mobile substantially transversely to press on the force returning member between two longitudinal end parts, the transformation by the force returning member of the thrust force (F) exerted by the user into a longitudinal sliding force (F2) increasing while the thrust is being exerted.

Abstract: A stalling cage for small rodents includes a rotatably supported wheel for measuring the activity of the rodent. This cage contains food and drink dispensers for stalling the rodent and a rotary wheel for measuring activity of the rodent. This cage avoids the need for separate stalling cages and activity measurement cages.
