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 movable portion of said device that is movable while said device is being actuated, said thin film having anti-friction properties.
Abstract:
A facility for manufacturing, assembling, and filling a fluid dispenser device comprising a fluid reservoir (10) and a dispensing member (20), such as a pump or a valve, said facility being characterized in that it comprises a manufacturing unit for manufacturing a reservoir, a filling unit for filling said reservoir, and a fixing unit for fixing said dispensing member to said reservoir, said units operating continuously in a controlled atmosphere.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a reservoir (10) for a fluid product containing a single dose, the reservoir (10) comprising an air inlet (11) and a product outlet (15), the air inlet (11) comprising a product retention device (12 and/or 13) to keep the product in the reservoir (10) until dispensation of the product, and the product outlet (15) being blocked, preferably in a sealed fashion, by a closing ball (16) which is removed from its blocking position by the flow of air when the product is being dispensed. This invention also relates to the method of filling the reservoir and a dispensing device for the product contained in the reservoir using an air blast (20).
Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring doses of dispensed products includes a first metering ring (20) mounted to rotate 5 around a rotation axis (1), and drive means (10) that drives the first metering ring to rotate around an axis (1). The drive means (10) is actuated each time the dispenser is actuated. The apparatus also has interlocking means (15, 22) that engage the drive means (10) with the first metering ring (20) after the dispenser has been actuated a predetermined number of times. The first metering ring (20) is driven to rotate once it is engaged with the drive means (10). The apparatus only counts the doses of dispensed product after the dispenser has been actuated a predetermined number of times.
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, including a step of modifying at least one surface to be treated of at least a portion of the device in contact with the fluid by ionic implantation using a beam of multi-charged and multi-energy ions. The modified surface to be treated has barrier properties preventing interactions between the fluid and the modified surface to be treated, the multi-charged ions being selected from helium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon, with ionic implantation being carried out to a depth of 0 μm to 3 μm.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device comprising: at least one predosed reservoir (10) that is hermetically sealed and that contains a single dose of powder; an expulsion channel (20) that is terminated by a mouthpiece; and a reservoir opening system (30), each reservoir (10) including a closure layer (12) that is suitable for being pierced and/or torn by said opening system (30) so as to enable the powder that is contained in said reservoir (10) to be expelled through said expulsion channel (20), said reservoir opening system (30) comprising at least two piercer elements (31) that are actuated so as to create at least two distinct openings (25, 26) in said closure layer (12), forming at least one inlet passage (25) for the flow of gas, in particular air, and at least one outlet passage (26) for the powder entrained by said flow of gas, and said device including an inhalation trigger system (50) that creates a flow of gas in said expulsion channel (20) only when a user inhales at or above a predetermined inhalation threshold.
Abstract:
A method of surface treating a fluid dispenser device, the method including a step of modifying at least one surface to be treated of at least a portion of the device by ionic implantation using multi-charged and multi-energy ion beams. The modified surface to be treated has anti-friction properties, the multi-charged ions are selected from helium (He), nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), and xenon (Xe), and ionic implantation is carried out to a depth of 0 μm to 3 μm.
Abstract:
A fluid-dispenser dose counter including two superposed count disks (10, 20). The first disk (10) may be a units disk, and the second disk (20) may be a tens and/or hundreds disk. Each disk (10, 20) is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation (23, 33), the axes of rotation (23, 33) being parallel to and offset from each other. The counter also includes a cover (30). The cover (30) may define the axis of rotation (33) of the first disk (10) and the axis of rotation (23) of the second disk (20).
Abstract:
A fluid or powder nasal or oral spray device comprising a body (10), at least one fluid or powder reservoir (20) containing one or more doses of fluid or powder to be dispensed, manually actuated dispenser means (30), such as a pump or a valve, and a manual actuator element (40) adapted for actuating said dispenser means (30) to dispense doses of fluid or powder, said device being characterized in that it further comprises a securing system (50) which is mounted to move between a clutched position, in which said manual actuator element (40) co-operates with said dispenser means (30), and a declutched position, in which said manual actuator element (40) does not co-operate with said dispenser means (30), said securing system (50) being controlled by a parameterizable electronic control unit (60).
