Patent number: 8695852Abstract: A fluid dispenser head including a fluid dispenser member; a dispenser endpiece that is connected to a nozzle via a duct; a pusher that is manually and axially movable down and up so as to move the dispenser endpiece in such a manner as to dispense fluid; and a rotary control hoop for moving the pusher axially between a storage position and an actuatable position. The head further includes axial guide for guiding the pusher axially without turning about its own axis; and rotary cam that is turned by the control hoop, the pusher being in engagement with the cam so as to urge the pusher in axial movement, without any turning component.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Aptar France SASInventors: Romain Bertin, Sébastien Michaux

Publication number: 20120223104Abstract: A fluid dispenser including a fluid reservoir including a neck with a constricted opening that communicates with an inside volume; and a dispenser member including a fluid inlet that is provided with a dip tube, the dip tube provided with a substantially-plane flexible sheet having shape memory. The sheet presents a transverse dimension, in the direction that is perpendicular to the dip tube, that is greater than the dimension of the constricted opening, such that the sheet must be caused to take up a deformed configuration in order to pass through the neck, and must then relax into a substantially-plane rest configuration inside the inside volume. The sheet presents a bottom edge having a portion that, in the rest configuration, penetrates into the constricted opening to initiate the deformation of the sheet, so as to bring it subsequently into its deformed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2010Publication date: September 6, 2012Applicant: VALOIS SASInventors: Romain Bertin, Sophie Feschet-Magdelaine, Patrick Muller

Patent number: 7874465Abstract: A fluid dispenser head for mounting on a fluid reservoir (1), the head having a fluid dispenser member (2), such as a pump or a valve, having a body (20) that is mounted in stationary manner relative to the reservoir (1), and a valve rod (21) that is axially displaceable down and up; a pushbutton (5, 7) that is axially displaceable down and up, driving the valve rod (21); and a dispenser orifice (60) that is connected to the valve rod. The dispenser head has an actuator mechanism (4) for driving the pushbutton in axial displacement relative to the valve rod (21).Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2007Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Valois S.A.S.Inventors: Romain Bertin, Florent Pouliaude
