Abstract: A pump of the type comprising a substantially cylindrical body (1) in one piece provided, in its lower part, with a port (11) for admission of a product and with a valve constituted by a cavity (10) containing an element (2) capable of moving between a lower stop (12b) corresponding to the obturation of said admission port (11) and an upper stop (12a) corresponding to the opening of said port (11), and wherein said upper stop (12a) is formed by at least one discontinuous internal projection (12) whose transverse dimension (x) measured in the cavity (10) is at least equal to 20% of the largest transverse dimension of the mobile element (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser for dispensing liquids in the form of aerosols, the dispenser being of the type comprising a pump (1) engaged in sealed manner in the neck (C) of a container and provided firstly with a metering internal chamber and secondly with a spray tube (10) which projects to the outside, where it is engaged in a plunger knob (3), said spray tube (10) being suitable for being fed by the metering chamber and for communicating with a transverse ejection duct (21) equipped with a spray nozzle (22); the dispenser being, upstream from the ejection duct (21), a delivery or suction external chamber (20) for delivering or for sucking in a mixture of air and of liquid, the spray tube (10) opening out into the external chamber, and the external chamber enclosing a piston (32) secured to the plunger knob (3).

Abstract: A dispensing device mountable on a tank having a sheathed pushbutton and movable collar. The collar having a first, temporary, high position on the pushbutton and being held in place frictionally by at least two projection members on the interior face of the collar in contact with the pushbutton. The collar having a second, low position and being held in place by catches cooperating with the neck of the tank.

Abstract: The invention concerns a pump comprising a substantially cylindrical body (1) defining internally a metering chamber (11) whereof the lower end (1a) is provided with an intake orifice (10) equipped with a valve (12) and the upper end is provided with an outlet (20a) and closed by a piston (2) capable of moving in said chamber (11) by cooperating with elastic return means (4) outside the chamber (11), between a support up stop and a limit down stop.

Abstract: A device for packaging and dispensing a liquid or semi-liquid substance (P) in which a substance (P) in a receptacle (1), which is closed in a sealed manner firstly at a top by a cap (2) and secondly at a bottom by an internally movable punt (5), is compressed. The device includes an elastically deformable membrane (4) received in the top of the receptacle (1). The membrane (4) is formed by a substantially frustoconical axial valve (40) having a top portion provided with a central ejection orifice (41), a middle portion running into a channel section ring (42) and a bottom portion provided with a stretchable thin skirt (43) connected to a flange (44). The skirt (43) extends upwards along an internal wall of the receptacle (1). The flange (44) fixes the membrane (4) to the receptacle (1). A nozzle-forming tube (3) passes axially through the cap (2) of the receptacle (1). The tube (3) has a top end (31) projecting outside the receptacle (1) and an internal bottom end.

Abstract: A device for inhaling powder packaged in capsules, the device being of the type comprising a housing closed by a cover and containing means for supporting and transferring capsules, opening means for opening the capsules, a dispensing endpiece, and an air intake orifice.

Abstract: A spray device for mounting on a fluid dispenser connected to a tank; the device being of the type comprising a head provided with an expansion chamber into which the outlet orifice of said dispenser opens out; the expansion chamber communicating with a nozzle via at least one outlet duct. The nozzle is constituted by a hinged inner element which is at least partially received in the outlet duct, and by an outer element fixed to bear in sealed manner against the inner element so as to define between their respective contacting surfaces a network of swirl-inducing channels communicating with the outlet duct and opening to the outside via a spray orifice formed through the outer element.

Abstract: A miniature metering pump of the type possessing a body provided with an inlet opening out into a metering chamber, associated with an inlet valve having a valve member, and with a piston having a plunger provided with an axial nozzle and flared at its bottom end to form a hood receiving a sealing gasket, its internal channel being associated with an outlet valve having a valve member, wherein said outlet valve member forms a portion of a single elastically deformable part that constitutes said gasket, shaped to have a bottom U-shaped ring assembled round the hood of the plunger, and connected at the top on the outside to a substantially cylindrical skirt for sealing and for returning the piston to its rest position, which skirt runs on from an annular flange for providing sealed connection with the body; and on the inside by a folded valve member that is generally conical or mitral-valve shaped, with a narrow top end carrying a cutout surrounded by a lip that opens to provide an outlet orifice.
