Patent number: 9440248Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid dispenser device, comprising: a body for mounting in stationary manner on the fluid reservoir; an actuator rod that is moved axially down and up inside the body; and a pusher that is mounted on the actuator rod by connection means including magnetizing means so as to generate a connection, by magnetic attraction, between the actuator rod and the pusher. The connection means comprises a rod organ engaged around the actuator rod and a pusher organ secured to the pusher, the actuator rod defining an internal fluid duct. The pusher forming a connection sleeve defining an internal fluid channel that leads to a dispenser orifice. The rod organ is deformed by the connection sleeve of the pusher, thus joining the duct to the channel in leaktight manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: APTAR FRANCE SASInventor: Florent Pouliaude

Publication number: 20150083757Abstract: A fluid reservoir including a bottom and a duct that defines an opening, a sealing ball being engaged in the duct in such a manner as to close the opening hermetically, the ball being movable by an external thrust member in such a manner as to cause the ball to fall by gravity to the bottom of the reservoir so that the opening is thus unblocked. The duct is connected to a dip tube that extends into the proximity of the bottom of the reservoir, the duct presenting a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the dip tube, the ball being in leaktight engagement in the duct before being pushed into the dip tube in which it falls freely to the bottom of the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2013Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: APTAR FRANCE SASInventors: Patrick Muller, Florent Pouliaude
