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

Patent number: 8490837Abstract: A fluid dispenser head for mounting on a fluid reservoir so as to constitute a dispenser. The head includes a fluid dispenser member with a body and a valve rod. A dispenser endpiece is rotatably mounted on the valve rod and a turning pusher is manually axially movable so as to move the dispenser endpiece and the valve rod. A transmission part is interposed between the endpiece and the pusher and secured to the pusher in axial movement. An actuator mechanism causes the endpiece and pusher to turn, but not the transmission part. The actuator mechanism moves the transmission part axially between a non-working, storage position and a working, actuation position, in such a manner as to cause the pusher to move axially. The part transmits directly and axially to the endpiece, any thrust force exerted on the pusher in the working position.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Aptar France SASInventors: Sebastien Michaux, Alex Milian
