Abstract
Assembly having a fluid product dispenser and an unlocking device. The assembly has a fluid product dispenser (D) having a movable member (F) and a locking system (L) that is switchable between a locking position, in which the movable member (F) is locked and a release position, in which the movable member (F) is unlocked; and an unlocking device (K), separate from the fluid product dispenser (D), that is able to switch the locking system (L) between the locking position and the release position, this unlocking device (K) being an eddy-current-based contactless and remote unlocking device.
Claims9
An assembly comprising:
- a fluid product dispenser comprising a movable member and a locking system that is switchable between a locking position, in which the movable member is locked and a release position, in which the movable member is unlocked,
- an unlocking device, separate from the fluid product dispenser, that is able to switch the locking system between the locking position and the release position, this unlocking device being an eddy-current-based contactless and remote unlocking device, wherein the locking system comprises a movable induction element and the unlocking device comprises variable magnetic field generation means inducing an electromotive force on the movable induction element which makes it possible to switch the locking system from its locking position to its release position,
- wherein the movable induction element is an induction disc rotating about an axis X and the variable magnetic field generation means comprise at least one permanent magnet rotated about an axis Y or a set of solenoids disposed about an axis Y and alternately powered so as to produce a rotating magnetic field, the axes X and Y being aligned when the unlocking device is added to the fluid product dispenser or vice versa, such that the variable magnetic field generation means thus induce a rotary movement to the induction disc from a rest position to an active position.
