  • Patent number: 8162178
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing device, in at least one embodiment containing medication typically have a shelf life and separately an expiration date after first being opened, as this exposure created by opening or sing the container for the first time raises the chance of contamination dramatically. A time indicator is situated so that as the container is opened for the first time, a timer displays the expiration date and time of the container. The time indicator can not be reset once it is triggered. In one embodiment, the indicator is triggered as the container is actuated by a rotational movement.

  • Patent number: 7988073
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing jets of air laden with fragrance, the dispenser being characterized in that it includes a deformable flexible pouch of variable internal volume containing fragrance microcapsules, the pouch initially being substantially empty of air with the fragrance microcapsules intact, the fragrance microcapsules being broken the first time air enters into the pouch, in such a manner as to load the air in the pouch with fragrance, the pouch including an orifice through which the air penetrates into the pouch, and through which the fragrance-laden air leaves the pouch when the volume of the pouch is varied.

  • Patent number: 6799690
    Abstract: An attachment device is provided to attach a distribution device, such as a pump or a valve, onto a neck of a recipient. The attachment device comprises a ring forming a skirt equipped with an attachment structure, such as clip-on heads, designed to co-operate with the neck of the recipient. A reception structure is provided to receive the distribution device. An annular plate extends radially inwards from the skirt. The plate is designed to be pressed against the upper end of the neck, with an inserted seal if required. The plate can be moved axially upwards away from the attachment structure by pressing the plate on the upper end of the neck.
