Oscillatory-rotary liquid dispensing device with spring, and associated method

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for dispensing liquid product, comprising a fixed part and a moving part; the fixed part comprising an intake orifice, a delivery orifice, a body comprising a cavity into which said orifices open, said cavity being able to partially house the moving part, the remaining volume forming an emptying chamber; the moving part being able to move partially in the cavity of the fixed part and comprising a piston, a piston driving element, an axial spring, a duct extending along the circumference of the piston, said duct allowing positions that allow fluidic communication between the emptying chamber and just one of said orifices and allowing switchover positions in which all fluidic communication between the emptying chamber and each of said orifices is forbidden, a cam able to convert the rotation of the drive element into an oscillatory-rotary movement of the piston. The axial spring is able to absorb energy during a liquid intake phase and to restore same during a liquid delivery phase, said spring being positioned around the piston which is on the moving part situated inside the cavity of the body.
