  • Patent number: 8739783
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser device comprising: at least one predosed reservoir (10) that is hermetically sealed and that contains a single dose of powder; an expulsion channel (20) that is terminated by a mouthpiece; and a reservoir opening system (30), each reservoir (10) including a closure layer (12) that is suitable for being pierced and/or torn by said opening system (30) so as to enable the powder that is contained in said reservoir (10) to be expelled through said expulsion channel (20), said reservoir opening system (30) comprising at least two piercer elements (31) that are actuated so as to create at least two distinct openings (25, 26) in said closure layer (12), forming at least one inlet passage (25) for the flow of gas, in particular air, and at least one outlet passage (26) for the powder entrained by said flow of gas, and said device including an inhalation trigger system (50) that creates a flow of gas in said expulsion channel (20) only when a user inhales at or above a predetermined inhalation thresh

  • Patent number: 6056169
    Abstract: An inhaler (1) for dispensing accurate and reproducible doses of powder. The inhaler includes an expulsion channel (2) opening out in an outlet orifice (3), and is characterized by a combination of or: a pre-dosing device (100) having the powder in individual reservoirs (101), each reservoir (101) containing one dose of powder, and; a transfer device (200) for transferring a dose of powder in full into the expulsion channel (2) on each actuation of the inhaler. The inhaler also includes an air flow source (300) having a pump (301) triggerable by the user the air flow source (300) sending a flow of air into the expulsion channel (2) towards the outlet orifice (3) to expel the dose of powder.

  • Patent number: 5950877
    Abstract: A device for dispensing a fluid and operating without air intake, the device comprising a pump (1) mounted on a receptacle (3) containing the fluid, and a pushbutton (10) for actuating said pump, said pushbutton (10) including a fluid dispensing orifice (17), a substance having bacteriostatic activity on said fluid when it comes into contact with said substance being disposed in said dispenser device, the device being characterized in that said pushbutton (10) includes a nozzle (11) defining an expulsion channel (13) that is narrow and of small volume between the pump (1) and the dispensing orifice (17), said substance having bacteriostatic activity being disposed solely in said pushbutton (10) on or in the vicinity of said nozzle (11) such that said substance having bacteriostatic activity is of maximum effectiveness because of the small dead volume in the pushbutton.
