Patent number: 8292131Abstract: A fluid dispenser pump has a fluid reservoir, and a pump that has a pump chamber with a piston that moves within the pump chamber to pump fluids out a dispensing orifice. The pump has a priming air channel that fluidly connects the reservoir to the pump chamber and is separate from the fluid channel that connects the reservoir to the pump chamber. With non-sterile fluids, such as medicine, the air channel cannot displace the air to the exterior of the dispenser, but must displace it to the reservoir where it assists in priming the fluid channel.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2006Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Aptar France SASInventor: Samuel Pruvot

Patent number: 8104643Abstract: A fluid dispenser device having: a fluid dispenser member such as a manually-actuated pump or valve, the fluid dispenser member being fastened by a fastener ring on a reservoir; an actuator head that is mounted on the dispenser member, and that is movable so as to actuate the dispenser member; and a removable blocking element that, in its blocking position, prevents the dispenser member from being actuated. The blocking element is assembled to the actuator head and co-operates with the fastener ring, or with an element that is secured thereto, through at least one opening that is provided in the actuator head.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2007Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Valois SASInventor: Samuel Pruvot
