  • Patent number: 11440039
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11141503
    Abstract: A Fragrance diffusion system is provided having a diffusion device which has two opposing walls spaced apart from one another, at least one wick, and at least one air intake. An upper first bottle has a first neck the opening of which is positioned facing one of the two opposing walls referred to as the upper wall, a lower second bottle having a second neck the opening of which is positioned facing the other wall referred to as the lower wall. The upper first bottle has the fragrance which, by impregnating the wick, on the one hand causes the fragrance to diffuse into the cavity and to outside of the device via said at least one opening, and on the other hand causes dripping drop by drop into the lower second bottle. The lower second bottle having a capacity which is dimensioned so that the level of the liquid transferred into said lower second bottle is situated below a lower end of the wick.

  • Publication number: 20210039084
    Abstract: A device for dispensing drops of a liquid or semi-liquid product is provided having an axial tube (12) which has an elastically deformable outer jacket defining an internal space (16) enclosing the product and a neck (14) which defines an open internal passage for the passage of the product. A system for generating drops has an elastic deformable piece (22) mounted inside the neck of the tube around a rigid member (24). The elastically deformable piece has an opening end part (30b) situated outside of the neck and through which the product can exit from the system in case of pressure on the outer jacket. The opening end part (30b) is deformed into a first position when it is mounted to bear on an opening end (36) of the rigid member when no pressure is exerted on the jacket of the tube.
