Device (1) for atomising a product including:
- a reservoir (10) containing the product,
- means of atomising the product which include:
- a wall (20) permeable to the product through which the product is sprayed,
- an actuator (40) designed to cause the permeable wall (20) to vibrate thereby atomising the product,
- the device being characterised in that the reservoir contains a porous member (30), in contact with the permeable wall so as to feed product thereto, the porous member occupying substantially the entire volume of the reservoir.
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the porous member (30) is a foam in a material selected from polyurethane or polyamide.
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the permeable wall (20) is a perforated membrane.
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the permeable wall (20) is fixed on the actuator (40).
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the actuator (40) is in the form of an annular disc having a central opening (41), the product-permeable wall (20) being disposed in the central opening of the disc (40).
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the reservoir (10) includes a sidewall (11) and a bottom (12), the actuator (40) being fixed on the edge of the sidewall, opposite the bottom.
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the product-permeable wall (20) is covered by a closure element (50) enabling the reservoir to be closed in a leaktight manner relative to the product.
Device according to the foregoing claim, characterised in that the closure element is a cover strip (50).
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that it includes fixing means (13) enabling it to be mounted in a unit (100) incorporating power supply means (130).
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that it includes an electronic memory wherein product-related information is stored.
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the reservoir (10) delineates a volume between 2 and 4 cm3.
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that it includes, before first use, between 1 and 5 ml of product to be atomised, preferably between 1 and 2 ml.
Device according to any one of the foregoing claims, characterised in that the product is a cosmetic product.
Device according to the foregoing claim, characterised in that the product is a perfume.
Unit (100) for atomising a product including:
- a device (1) according to any one of the foregoing claims;
- a recess (111) configured to accommodate the device;
- power supply means (130).
Unit according to the foregoing claim, characterised in that the power supply means include a power cell or a storage battery.
Unit according to the foregoing claim, characterised in that it includes at least two devices (1) containing a different product.
