Fluid dispensing device

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a fluid dispensing device (10), the fluid dispensing device (1) comprising: a housing (10) to accommodate a container (110) filled with a fluid, wherein the housing (10) comprises a sidewall 118) extending along a longitudinal direction (z), —an outlet orifice (3), —a discharge mechanism (130) operable for spray discharging at least one or multiple doses of the fluid via the outlet orifice (3), —a protective cap (12) pivotally supported on or by the housing (10) between an open position and a closed position, wherein when in the closed position the outlet orifice (3) is effectively covered by the protective cap (12), —a mechanical energy storage (50) coupled to the discharge mechanism (130), reversibly transferable between a preloaded state and an unloaded state and configured to store mechanical energy in the preloaded state effective to produce the spray discharging of the fluid, —a biasing mechanism (150) comprising a biasing member (160) operationally coupled to the protective cap (12) and selectively engageable with the mechanical energy storage (50) to transfer the mechanical energy storage (50) into the preloaded state when the protective cap (12) moves into the closed position, —a pinion segment (151) connected to or integrated into the protective cap (12), —a rack segment (161) engaged with the pinion segment (151) and connected to or integrated into the biasing member (160).
