  • Patent number: 11565857
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing nozzle includes a liquid dispensing opening and a removable cap configured to cover the liquid dispensing opening. The removable cap includes an outer casing and an inner casing that are coaxial and configured to move relative to each other in an axial direction of the nozzle between an unscrewing configuration wherein a pressing force applied to the removable cap is greater than a predetermined threshold, and a safety configuration wherein a pressing force applied to the cap is lower than the predetermined threshold, wherein the outer casing is configured to freewheel relative the inner casing in the first direction. A rotation of the outer casing in a first direction drives by friction a rotation of the inner casing in the same first direction to unscrew the cap, wherein the pressing force is different from a force required to rotate the cap in the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11560262
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing device includes a dispensing end piece and a neck of a reservoir for storing the liquid, the end piece being attached to the neck, which has a tubular internal surface. The end piece has a tubular internal skirt that is mounted in the neck and defines, with the internal surface, at least one annular sealing zone, preventing the liquid from passing between the internal skirt and the neck. The skirt defines, with the internal surface, a separate zone for retaining shavings, which prevents shavings that are formed in the sealing zone while the end piece is being fitted into the neck from getting into the reservoir.

  • Publication number: 20220379046
    Abstract: An assistance device for a product dispensing device is provided, in which product dispensing is implemented by displacement or deformation of a moving part of the dispensing device between a rest position and an activation position. The assistance device includes an engaging unit, a locking unit configured to prevent the dispensing of the product, an actuator configured to switch the locking unit from a locked position to an unlocked position, a return unit configured to switch the locking unit from the unlocked position to the locked position, out of the activation position of the product dispensing, a blocking unit for blocking the locking unit in the unlocked position, a first disengagement member for disengaging the blocking unit configured to be triggered upon the activation of the dispensing device, and a second disengagement member for disengaging the blocking unit configured to be triggered independently of the activation of the dispensing device.
