  • Publication number: 20220212213
    Abstract: A device for dispensing a fluid product, having a body with a dispensing orifice, two removable reservoirs each containing a single dose of fluid product, a dispensing mechanism, and an actuating mechanism. The reservoirs are closed before the dispensing device is actuated. The body has a mechanism for opening each reservoir and adapted to open the reservoirs during actuation of the device. The reservoirs each form a sealed unit which is separate from said body, each reservoir filled with a respective fluid product and hermetically sealed before installed in the body. The body has a receiving mechanism for lateral installation of the reservoirs in the body.

  • Patent number: 11045616
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser device having a reservoir; a valve; a cocking member movable between rest and primed positions and between primed and dispensing positions, the cocking member includes a set of teeth; a blocking device blocking the cocking member in the primed position; a trigger system controlled by inhaling to release the blocking device; a reservoir support element including a cam opening; and a meshing wheel having a toothed projection co-operating with the set of teeth and a cam projection co-operating with the cam opening. The toothed projection is centered relative to the wheel rotation axis, and the cam projection is offset relative to the axis. The meshing wheel completes a turn when the cocking member moves from its primed towards its dispensing position, such that the cam projection causes the reservoir support element to perform reciprocating axial movement for actuating and returning the valve into its rest position.
