Publication number: 20170120276Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2016Publication date: May 4, 2017Inventors: Herve Imenez, Christophe Desanaux, Jonathen Woodman

Publication number: 20080067265Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2007Publication date: March 20, 2008Inventors: Jean-Pierre Songbe, Herve Imenez
