Abstract:
A drive mechanism for pressure-gages in general, comprising a main body which can support all the members, and which is made by molding a plastic material with simultaneous embedding therein of an end of a Bourdon tubular spring, said end having fixedly inserted therein a small tube, which is also embedded in the plastics body in the same molding operation and which ensures the communication with the pressure source. The movable end of said Bourdon tube has integrally-formed thereon an eye member for connection with an S-shaped link which can actuate the indicating means of the pressure-gauge.
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:
High-pressure valve provided with internal opening and closing members which are indirectly actuated by a handwheel and a servo-control system based on the balancing effect generated by the same pressure of compressed air or gas or the like to be dispensed so as to obtain a very sensitive operation, the assembly being particularly suitable for compressed air or gas bottles or the like.
Abstract:
A dose indicator for a fluid dispenser device, said indicator comprising: a body (4); an actuator (1) that is mounted to turn relative to said body (4) about a first axis, and including drive means (14, 15); and a cylindrical indicator element (2) that is mounted to turn relative to said body (4) about a second axis and including a set of teeth (21) that co-operate with said drive means (14, 15) of said actuator (1) so as to turn each time the dispenser device is actuated, said indicator element (2) further including numeric and/or symbolic indicator means (25) so as to indicate to the user the number of doses that have been dispensed or that remain to be dispensed from said dispenser device; said actuator (1) co-operating with actuator means (7) secured to said body (4), said actuator means (7) being displaced in translation each time the dispenser device is actuated, and co-operating with said actuator (1) so as to transform the translation of said actuator means (7) into said actuator (1) turning.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device including a reservoir containing the fluid and a propellant; a metering valve mounted on the reservoir and including a metering chamber, and a valve member that is movable between a rest position and a dispensing position; and an automatic trigger system, the trigger system including an actuator element to displace one of the valve member and the reservoir relative to the other so as to bring the valve member into its dispensing position. The device also includes a brake system which co-operates with the reservoir or the valve member to slow down displacement of the valve member towards its dispensing position while the device is being actuated, and a valve-member release system that is actuated automatically when the valve member reaches its dispensing position, and which returns the valve member to its rest position independently of the position of the actuator element.
Abstract:
A fluid spray device comprising a reservoir (10) containing fluid; a pump or a valve mounted on the reservoir (10) by means of a fixing ring (30) for selectively dispensing the fluid; and a dispenser head (40) including a dispenser orifice (45), the device further comprising an actuator device (50) that is displaceable between a rest position and a dispensing position, the actuator device (50) being displaced in a direction that is different from the direction in which the fluid is sprayed through the dispenser orifice (45), said actuator device (50) being formed on the dispenser head (40), and co-operating with the fixing ring (30) in order to actuate the pump or the valve, said actuator device (50) including at least one actuator element (51) pivotally mounted on said dispenser head (40), the fluid spray device being characterized in that each actuator element (51) includes an actuator portion (52) co-operating with said fixing ring (30), and a presser element (54) on which the user exerts an actuation force, said presser element (54) being pivotally mounted on said dispenser head (40) and extending firstly radially away from said dispenser head (40), and secondly axially towards the reservoir (10) beyond said fixing ring (30), said actuator portion (52) being pivotally mounted on said presser element (54) and extending radially and axially towards the fixing ring (30) so as to co-operate with said ring from below, when the device is in the upright position.
Abstract:
A dose counter device for a fluid dispenser, said device comprising counting means (10, 11) actuated by actuating means (20) each time the dispenser is used, said device being characterized in that said counting means comprise at least one flexible rotary counting element (10) applied against and turning on a curved support surface (1, 2).
Abstract:
An indicator for a powder or fluid dispenser device, the indicator including an indicator system and said indicator system comprising: a cover (1) provided with a viewing window (60); a first indicator element (2) that turns about an axis, said first indicator element (2) including first indicator means (120, 121); a second indicator element (5) that turns about an axis, said second indicator element (5) including second indicator means (50); and an interconnection element (3) that interconnects said first and second indicator elements (2, 5), in such a manner that it is the indicator means (120, 121; 50) of one of said two indicator elements (2, 5) that are visible initially in said viewing window (60) up to a predetermined number of actuations, after which it is the indicator means (50; 120, 121) of the other of said two indicator elements (2, 5) that become visible in the viewing window.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser device comprising: a reservoir (10) containing the fluid; a dispenser head (20) provided with a dispenser orifice (21), said dispenser head (20) being displaceable relative to said reservoir (10) so as to dispense the fluid through said dispenser orifice; and a removable protective cap (30) that is displaceable between a closed position, in which it covers said dispenser orifice (21), and an open position, in which it uncovers said dispenser orifice (21); said device being characterized in that it further comprises blocking means (40) that are displaceable and/or deformable between a blocking position, in which they prevent fluid from being dispensed, and a release position, in which they do not prevent fluid from being dispensed, said blocking means (40) being displaced and/or deformed into their blocking position by said protective cap (30) in its closed position.
Abstract:
