Abstract:
Dispensing device for underwater respiration apparatus having a plurality of floating valves operating according to an improved system with pivots free from mechanical connections, said device being constructed in a single piece and comprising a central three-way distributor leading the compressed air or gas towards the center of the undersurface of a diaphragm of the floating valve, said diaphragm being located in a chamber containing a spacer member and, above the center, in a suitable central seat and loaded by a very weak spring, a service small valve with upright stem having fixedly mounted thereon an arm that operates in an upper chamber and is directly acted upon by the main control diaphragm, wherein the latter chamber communicates, through a suitable passage, both with the inspiration opening and with the expiration opening the latter containing a non-return valve, and also with the space below the undersurface of the diaphragm of said floating valve.
Abstract:
An indicator for a dispenser device, having an actuator element (1) displaceable between a rest position and an actuated position, a rotary counter element (5), and a drive element (6) that transforms an axial displacement of the actuator element into a rotary displacement of the counter element (5). The counter element (5) including a set of teeth (9) that co-operate with a resilient mechanism (7, 8) of the drive element (6). The resilient mechanism (7, 8) having two flexible tabs (7, 8), a first flexible tab (7) co-operating with the teeth (9) causing the counter element (5) to turn in a counting direction while the actuator element (1) is displaced towards its actuated position, and a second flexible tab (8) co-operating with the teeth (9) causing the counter element to turn in the same counting direction while the actuator element (1) returns to its rest position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dose indicator (A) which is intended for a fluid product dispensing device (B). The inventive indicator consists of at least one rotary counting means (10) which can move in rotation and which comprises indicator means (15), said indicator means indicating the number of doses that have been distributed or that remain to be distributed. Moreover, said at least one counting means is actuated by an actuation member (35) which is in turn actuated by a transmission element (34) that is designed to co-operate with the dispensing device each time the latter is actuated. The dose indicator comprises amplification means which are designed to amplify the movement of the transmission element (34) with each actuation, such that the movement of the actuation member (35) is greater than the movement of the transmission element (34).
Abstract:
A dose indicator for a fluid dispenser, the dose indicator includes at a minimum a ledge that actuates the dose indicator as the fluid dispenser device begins an actuation stroke that in turn actuates the first one of two flexible elements of the dose indicator that begins the actuation of a rotary counting wheel at the start of the actuation stroke of the fluid dispenser device, and the second less flexible element continues the actuation of the rotary counting wheel after the actuation stroke of the fluid dispenser device is completed. In some embodiments, the rotary counting wheel interacts with a display window with a groove and pin system to both rotate and translate the display window.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device having a reservoir (1), a metering valve (2) having a valve member (3), and an automatic trigger system for actuating the valve. The trigger system has a resilient element (10) moved manually into a cocked position. The trigger system releases the resilient element (10) and moves to an actuating position by moving the valve member (3) towards its dispensing position. The resilient element (10) is returned manually to its rest position. The fluid dispenser device includes a valve member release system co-operating with the reservoir (1) or with the valve member (3) so that, after dispensing the fluid, the valve member (3) is released from the force exerted by the resilient element (10), so that, after the device is actuated, the valve member (3) is returned to its rest position by the return spring of the valve, independently of the position of the resilient element.
