Fluid dispensing device

A fluid dispensing device comprising:

• a housing, the housing comprising an orifice and wherein the housing is configured to accommodate at least a portion of a spray delivery device comprising an outlet through which a fluid stored in the spray delivery device is dischargeable,
• the fluid dispensing device further comprising:
• a protective cap defining an interior space configured to accommodate the outlet of the spray delivery device and comprising at least a cap portion, wherein the protective cap is configured for fitting to the housing at least in a closing position relative to the housing, in which the cap portion covers the orifice,
• a mechanical spring reversibly transferable between a pre-loaded state and an unloaded state and configured to store mechanical energy in the pre-loaded state effective to produce a spray discharge of the spray delivery device,
• a releasable interlock configured to retain the mechanical spring in the pre-loaded state,
• a mechanical coupling member engaged with the mechanical spring and displaceable relative to the housing into a preload position against an action of the mechanical spring for transferring the mechanical spring into the pre-loaded state, and
• a manually actuatable trigger operationally engaged with the releasable interlock and configured to release the releasable interlock when actuated,
• wherein the protective cap is transferable into an opening position relative to the housing and wherein the protective cap is operable to actuate the manually actuatable trigger as the protective cap approaches or reaches the opening position, and
• wherein the protective cap is operably engageable with the mechanical coupling member and wherein the protective cap is operable to displace the mechanical coupling member into the preload position against the action of the mechanical spring when approaching the closing position relative to the housing.
