  • Patent number: 9624021
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing module for two liquid products, comprising: a first chamber (20) having a first wall, said first chamber having a first opening; a first piston (61) which can be displaced while resting on the wall of the first chamber; a second piston (64) which can be displaced while resting on a wall of the second chamber, and coupling means (62) for coupling both pistons while the product is being dispensed are provided. According to the invention, in order to prevent functional dysfunctions in the event of a distortion of the shape of container and to freely select the shape of the container, said dispensing module comprises a second chamber, the wall of which can be displaced while resting on the second piston, said second chamber comprising a second opening. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the distortion of the container no longer leads to functional dysfunctions of the dispensing module. Also, the outer shape of the container can be freely selected.

  • Patent number: 8317062
    Abstract: A valve for distributing two fluids contained in a rigid flask by propulsion, the first fluid contained in a first flexible pouch, and the second fluid in the flask so as to be isolated from the first fluid before the fluid leaves through the valve. When the valve is placed on the flask, an internal part of the valve is inside the flask, an external part of the valve is outside the flask. A first passage which can be closed connects the inside of the first pouch and the space surrounding the external part of the valve, and a second passage which can also be closed connects the space intended to receive the second fluid and the space surrounding the external part of the valve. The valve has a second flexible pouch for receiving the second fluid, which is fixed to the valve and placed around the first pouch.

  • Publication number: 20110277326
    Abstract: The invention relates to a manual razor comprising a shaving head (10) having a blade, and a handle (20) on which the shaving head (10) is attached, pivoting means (11, 21) being provided between the head (10) and the handle (20) so that the head (10) can move from a use position perpendicular to the handle (20) into a stowage position parallel to the handle. The aim of the present invention is to provide a razor that can easily be stored while occupying as little space as possible. In order to do so, it comprises pivoting means for the blade holder, such that it is not necessary to touch the blade for pivoting the same. According to the invention, the pivoting means includes a rack (21) provided on a sliding button located on the handle (20), and a toothed wheel (11) connected to the head (10), wherein the toothed wheel (11) and the rack (21) are sized and arranged to be in mutual engagement.

  • Publication number: 20100176153
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pouch for a pressurized bottle, made up of a tubular wall closed in its upper part by a welded seam into which a valve is incorporated. According to the invention, the tubular wall is obtained by overlapping and welding together the two lateral edges of a strip, and the tubular wall is closed in its lower part by an essentially round bottom wall. Thus, the tubular wall of the pouch will have a practically circular cross section in a large lower part, this cross section tending towards an elliptical shape as it nears the upper end where it becomes completely flat. The pouch will, at least in a major lower part, occupy practically all the space in the bottle, considerably reducing the dead space in that part.

  • Patent number: 6669063
    Abstract: A The invention discloses an assembly consisting of a head (1, 1′, 200) and an overcap (30, 30′, 30″, 300), the head having a cylindrical neck provided with a helical screw thread (21), the overcap having a cylindrical skirt (31) provided with a thread (36) matching the neck thread (21). The overcap carries an axial plate (33) radially flexible and circumferentially rigid. The neck base (10) is provided with at least an opening stop (12), and at least a closure stop (11), of lesser height. When the overcap (30) is screwed on the head for mounting the assembly, the free end of the axial plate is urged into contact with a first wall (14) of the opening stop (12) and the axial plate whereof the free end is urged by a centrifugal motion, is elastically deformed then, folds down towards the neck in a space between the opening (12) and closure (11) stops, its displacement being thereby restricted.
