Abstract:
A device for counting doses of substance issued by a dispenser for fluids or powders, the device being characterized in that it comprises a first count wheel (10, 110) and a second count wheel (20, 120), both count wheels being mounted to rotate about a fixed axis of rotation (3, 103), the first count wheel (10, 110) comprising a set of teeth (11, 111) extending circumferentially about the fixed axis of rotation (3, 103) and co-operating with a drive member (30, 130) for rotating the first count wheel about the fixed axis of rotation on each use of the dispenser, the first count wheel (10, 110) further including a drive tongue (14, 114) that is movable between a rest position in which it does not co-operate with the second count wheel (20, 120), and a drive position in which it does co-operate with the second count wheel (20, 120) to cause it to rotate about the fixed axis of rotation, said drive tongue (14, 114) being forced into its drive position by cam (8, 108).
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device including a fluid dispenser member (10) such as a pump or a valve, and a dispenser head (20) provided with a dispensing orifice, the fluid dispenser device is provided with dispensing detector mechanism (30, 31) for detecting dispensing of a dose of fluid, the detector mechanism (30, 31) adapted to deliver a signal for informing the user that a dose of fluid has indeed been dispensed by the pump, the detector mechanism including a detector (30) for detecting the fluid going from the dispenser member to the dispenser orifice.
Abstract:
An electronic display device (20) including a display member (21). The display member (21) is permanent so that no energy is required to keep the display unchanged. The display device (20) operates without a battery, the energy required to change the display being created by interaction between two elements, such as by friction or by an impact, thereby creating an electric pulse that is processed by an electronic circuit (25) before being applied to the display member (21) in order to change its display.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device having at least one reservoir containing fluid to be dispensed and dispenser mechanism that is actuatable by a user so as to dispense the fluid through a dispenser orifice. The dispenser device having a plurality of assembled-together component parts, at least one of the component parts including a unique marking so that each individual dispenser device is identifiable and/or traceable by the unique marking.
Abstract:
A method of surface treating a fluid dispenser device, the method including a step of modifying, by ion implantation using multi-charged and multi-energy ion beams, at least one surface to be treated of at least a portion of the device in contact with the fluid. The modified surface has properties limiting the formation of a biofilm and thus the appearance and/or proliferation of bacteria on the modified surface, the multi-charged ions being selected from helium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon, ionic implantation being carried out to a depth of 0 μm to 3 μm.
Abstract:
A treatment method for treating the surface of a fluid dispenser device, said method comprising the step of using chemical grafting to form a thin film on at least one support surface of at least one component part that is in contact with said fluid, said thin film preventing interactions between said fluid and said component part.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device including: a body (1) incorporating a dispenser orifice (5); a reservoir (10) containing the fluid; and a dispenser member (15), such as a metering valve or pump, for selectively dispensing the fluid contained in the reservoir (10), the device also including a dose indicator having an electronic display the display including a permanent display member (21) that does not require any energy in order to keep the display unchanged, and that requires only a small amount of energy in order to change the display.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device including a fluid dispenser member (10) such as a pump or a valve, and a dispenser head (20) provided with a dispensing orifice, said fluid dispenser device being characterized in that said device is provided with dispensing detector means (30, 31) for detecting dispensing of a dose of fluid, said detector means (30, 31) being adapted to deliver a signal for informing the user that a dose of fluid has indeed been dispensed by said pump, said detector means comprising a detector (30) for detecting the fluid going from said dispenser member to said dispenser orifice.
Abstract:
A fluid spray device having a body (10) provided with a spray orifice (15), a reservoir (20) containing the fluid to be sprayed, a spray device (30) that sprays one or more doses of the fluid contained in the reservoir (20); and an actuator (40) that actuates the spray device (30). The reservoir (20) is closed in a sealed manner before the spray device is actuated for the first time, the body (10) including reservoir opening device (11) adapted to open the reservoir (20) while the device is being actuated. The reservoir (20) forms a sealed unit that is separate from the body (10), filled with fluid and hermetically sealed before it is assembled in the body (10). The body (10) includes a receiver device (13) that receives the reservoir, and a lateral access device that enables the filled reservoir (20) to be assembled sideways into the body (10) and to be secured therein.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device comprising a fluid reservoir (10), and a dispensing member (20), such as a metering valve, fitted to said reservoir (10), said reservoir (10) and said valve (20) being assembled into a body (30) incorporating a dispensing orifice (31), said device being characterized in that it includes an adjustment element (40) disposed between the reservoir (10) and the body (30), said adjustment element (40) being provided with adapter means (45) that are movable and/or deformable and that co-operate with the body (30) and/or with the reservoir (10) while the reservoir (10) is being assembled into the body (30), thereby compensating for the manufacturing tolerances of said body (30) and/or of said reservoir and/or said dispensing member (20).
