  • Patent number: 11014719
    Abstract: An end piece (10) for dispensing a fluid product, having a dispensing orifice (16) that opens out at an application face (18) and having a movable cover (30) that is able to cover the dispensing orifice (16) and the application face (18), the cover (30) having a wall (48) intended to be facing to the application face (18) when the cover (30) is in a closed position, characterized in that the cover (30) has a layer (50) of bactericidal and/or bacteriostatic material which is affixed to the wall (48) of the cover (30) and which is in contact with the application face (18) when the cover (30) is in the closed position.

  • Patent number: 10874189
    Abstract: A device for dispensing a fluid product, comprising a rigid cylindrical body having a vertical main axis, a rigid piston which is oriented essentially horizontally and which can slide vertically inside the body, and an upper extraction wall which closes the upper end of the body. According to the invention, the body, the piston and the upper wall define a space that is intended to be filled with the product to be dispensed. In addition, the upper wall comprises a slotted cover that can open in order to connect the space to the exterior. The upper wall is elastically deformable and can deform into the space when a pressure is exerted manually on the upper wall, so as to increase the pressure inside the space and cause the slotted cover to open.

  • Patent number: 10005597
    Abstract: A device for dispensing a fluid product, comprising a body, a slit stopper formed in the body, being made from an elastically deformable material and delimited by an external face and an internal face, the slit stopper comprising a slit approximately parallel to the principal plane of the device, that extends from the internal face to the external face, and that comprises two facing walls that bear in contact with each other and that can move apart following a movement perpendicular to the principal plane of the device under pressure from the product to be dispensed, by elastic strain of the slit stopper. The slit stopper comprises a groove made in the internal face, that comprises two inclined faces each of which prolongs a wall of the slit in the inwards direction. The device may include a layer of material with bactericide or bacteriostatic properties on its external face.
