Patent number: 11440039Abstract: A method is provided for the re-filling with product of a travel dispenser (10) which has two assemblies (12, 14) which are connected together mechanically for dispensing the product. A first assembly (12) includes a bottle (10) of the product, a venting passage which is able to be opened to connect the interior and the exterior of the bottle and a pump (22) mounted on the bottle which is able to assume an upper rest position in which the passage is closed and a lower position in which the passage is open. A second assembly (14) includes a product dispensing device (16). The method includes blocking of the pump (22) in the lower position, and disengagement of the two assemblies (12, 14) from one another in order to allow the bottle (10) to be re-filled with product through the open venting passage of the first assembly (12) in re-fill mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: TECHNIPLASTInventor: Jean-Philippe Lamboux
