  • Publication number: 20170120276
    Abstract: A dispensing device dispenses a viscous or liquid product from a fluid reservoir. The dispensing device has an actuator (10), a dispensing member (12) configured to be actuated by the actuator, and a collar (14) configured to be linked to the reservoir and to support the dispensing member. The dispensing device being configured so that the actuator (10) can shift from a first position in which an actuation of the dispensing member (12) by the actuator (10) is allowed along an longitudinal axis of the dispensing device to a second position in which an actuation of the dispensing member (12) by the actuator (10) is blocked by abutting surfaces of the actuator (10) and the collar (14). One or some of the abutting surfaces and at least one reinforcement zone are provided on two opposite sides of a locking sleeve (60) of the dispensing device.

  • Patent number: 8528838
    Abstract: A push-button for a pressurised liquid distribution system, the push-button including a body onto which an end piece is mounted around an insert so as to form a distribution chamber between said end piece and the insert, the distribution chamber being in communication with a supply channel intended to be mounted on a feed tube for the pressurised liquid, the distribution chamber being successively connected to upstream channels, downstream channels and distribution channels, the distribution channels each converging towards an outlet opening while being designed to enable the impaction of the liquid jets dispensed by the openings, the upstream and downstream channels extending longitudinally while forming an upstream and downstream fluid flow section, respectively, in the distribution chamber, the downstream section having an average transverse surface which is less than the average transverse surface of the upstream section.

  • Patent number: 7938342
    Abstract: A spray nozzle designed to be mounted in a push button of a liquid distribution system, including a body equipped with an assembly tube that is defined by a front wall in which a distribution orifice is formed, wherein the inside face of the front wall is equipped with a vortex chamber that communicates with the distribution orifice, at least two radial tubes to supply liquid to the vortex chamber, and an annular duct to supply liquid to the upstream end of the tubes, in which the lateral inside wall of the tube is equipped with at least two axial grooves which respectively extend between an upstream end opening onto the rear edge of the tube and a downstream end opening onto the annular duct, wherein the grooves are positioned angularly so that each downstream end of a groove is equidistant from the two upstream ends of the tube adjacent to it on either side along the length of the annular duct.

  • Publication number: 20080067265
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid spray nozzle comprising a swirl chamber which is rotationally symmetric about a Z axis of origin O and into which at least two fluid inlet channels open. The aforementioned chamber is equipped with a discharge conduit having an axis which is inclined in relation to the axis of symmetry t an angle. According to the invention, the conduit is formed such that the position of the point of origin of the axis thereof is offset in relation the origin of the axis of symmetry by a distance which depends on the value of the angle of inclination of the conduit: along a direction which depends on the position and the cross-section of the channels, and in a sense which is counter to the orientation of the conduit.
