  • Patent number: 12103760
    Abstract: The actuator for an aerosol dispenser is provided with an actuator body which has a skirt, a finger pad, an outlet conduit having a portion (132a) which protrudes from the skirt towards the outside, and a cap (20) that can be moved between an open position in which the finger pad is accessible to a user and a closed position in which the finger pad is inaccessible to a user. The cap (20) is fixed to the skirt by a hinge (21) so that it can pivot around the hinge between the open position and the closed position, and provided with a slot (24) which straddles the protruding portion (132a) of the outlet conduit when the cap is in the closed position or close to the closed position.

  • Patent number: 11970329
    Abstract: A housing (1, 1?) for a pressurized container, has a bottom (12, 12?) a stopper, sealing means (124, 124?) to ensure sealing between the stopper (2, 2?) and the housing (1, 1?) when the housing is provided with a stopper; and retaining means (126, 126?) to retain, when the container is pressurized, a stopper (2, 2?) closing the opening. The retaining means (126, 126?) are distinct from the stopper (2) and are in an inactive initial form (125, 126) and must, in order to fulfill their function, be activated (126, 126?) after the opening has been closed by a stopper.

  • Patent number: 11952203
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing head comprising an insert (20) provided with a cam surface, a ring (10) on which is articulated a lever (30) provided with a trigger, and at least one cam follower. The lever and the cam surface can rotate relative to each other between a closed position and an open position. According to the invention, the insert (20) is configured to be blocked in rotation relative to the container (80) and to the stem (81) of the valve, the ring is an adjustment ring (10) which is configured to rotate relative to the container (80) and to the insert (20) about the main axis (A) of the valve to bring the lever (30) and the cam surface (22) into an open or closed position.

  • Patent number: 11667461
    Abstract: The diffuser (1) for a pressurized container provided with a valve, in particular for an aerosol generator, includes a base body (10) formed of a concave wall forming a cavity, and having a finger tab (11) intended to be depressed by the user to operate the valve, and a conduit placed in the cavity of the base body (10). The conduit has a first end adapted for cooperating with the valve of the pressurized container, and a second end for the outlet of the product contained in the pressurized container. The outlet conduit and the base body are two distinct parts which are connected together by mechanical fastening. Optionally, the outlet conduit is prevented from rotating relative to the base body.

  • Patent number: 11661265
    Abstract: A dispenser for a pressurised container provided with a valve, provided with: a base body having a finger tab which can be actuated by the user in order to actuate the valve, and having an output opening intended for the output of the product of the container. An outlet pipe, placed in the base body, has a passage between a first end configured to cooperate with the valve of the container, and a second end configured for the output of the product and corresponding with the outlet opening. The base body includes a connection hole remote from the outlet opening. The connection hole passes between an outer surface and an inner surface of the base body and is configured to facilitate a fastening of the outlet pipe so that the outlet pipe can be hooked to the base body.
