Publication number: 20120255549Abstract: A dose counter, the counter having a base body, with a rotary counter element assembled in the base body on a pin forming the axis of rotation. The rotary counter element co-operating with an actuator member adapted to cause the rotary counter element to turn each time the actuator member is actuated. The actuator member including a fastener for fastening to the base body (460) and arranged on a first side of the pin, and a substantially rigid support portion arranged on a second side of said pin. The support portion supporting an actuator element so that, on each actuation, the actuator element is moved in translation. The support portion is connected to the fastener via an elastically-deformable portion that surrounds the pin. The support portion is extended towards the pin by a substantially-rectilinear flexible branch that supports a lug adapted to co-operate with the counter element on each actuation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: VALOIS SASInventor: Erwann LE JEUNE

Publication number: 20120223104Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2010Publication date: September 6, 2012Applicant: VALOIS SASInventors: Romain Bertin, Sophie Feschet-Magdelaine, Patrick Muller
